Katt Williams Speaks on Diddy During Show: ‘They Put the Drugs in the Baby Oil’
In the eyes of many in Hip-Hop, Katt Williams kicked off all the chaos in 2024. Hitting the stage after Diddy’s arrest, Williams commented on the news, stating, “They put the drugs in the baby oil.”
Katt also had some smoke for Diddy’s attorney, who attempted to blame the massive amounts of oil on Costco’s selling practices: “P. Diddy’s dumbass lawyer said, ‘He probably got it at Costco.’ Costco hit right back, ‘We don’t even sell baby oil.’”
According to Page Six, another warning alarms Diddy’s celebrity friends as Williams believes Diddy is “about to snitch on everybody.”
And this echoes the moment that kicked off 2024:
When this interview aired, Everybody and they mama thought Katt was either on drugs again or just being dramatic.
Months later we have 1000 bottles of drug laced baby oil, 120 possible sexual assault victims.
Katt williams is a prophet.

EARTHGANG Announces New Album Perfect Fantasy, Lead Single Featuring T-Pain
GRAMMY-nominated Atlanta rap duo EARTHGANG has announced their upcoming album Perfect Fantasy, set to release on October 29th. The highly anticipated album’s lead single, “Love You More” featuring T-Pain, will drop on October 11th.
Alongside the album announcement, EARTHGANG revealed two headlining shows—one in Mexico City on October 29th and another in Tokyo on December 5th. Perfect Fantasy is heavily inspired by Japanese culture and continues the duo’s experimental EARTHGANG VS. The Algorithm series, following the release of the ROBOPHOBIA EP earlier this year. That project featured collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Spillage Village, and Tommy Newport.
Perfect Fantasy delves into the growing influence of artificial intelligence on society, with EARTHGANG imagining a world where humans can live more freely, beyond the constraints of technology. The album is expected to further explore the themes of societal control and futuristic landscapes introduced in ROBOPHOBIA.
2024 has been a busy year for EARTHGANG, who also released the collaborative SNAKEGANG EP with Snakehips over the summer. With the upcoming release of Perfect Fantasy, the duo continues to push creative boundaries and expand their sound.

Wack 100 Delivers Warning to Yo Gotti: ‘Say Your Prayers’
Wack 100 is sending a message to Yo Gotti, advising him to watch for the Feds closing in. In case you missed it, gunman Justin Johnson was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and illegal possession of a firearm in connection with the death of Memphis rapper Young Dolph, born Adolph Thornton Jr..
A jury deliberated for just under four hours, Johnson was immediately sentenced to life in prison. The trial lasted only four days, with testimony, closing arguments, and evidence presented by both sides. Johnson did not testify in his defense. Key testimony came from Cornelius Smith, also charged with Dolph’s murder, who admitted to the killing and testified against Johnson. Shelby County Deputy District Attorney Paul Hagerman presented video and photo evidence that tied Johnson to the crime, showing him at key locations before and after the murder.
As for the defense, led by attorney Luke Evans, they argued that Johnson was not responsible for the crime, saying, “He didn’t kill Adolph Thornton Jr. He didn’t conspire to kill Adolph Thornton Jr. And he wasn’t the man holding the pistol in the Makeda video.” Despite these arguments, the jury sided with the prosecution.
Interestingly, Assistant District Attorney Irris Williams highlighted the challenge of hiding evidence in today’s world during closing arguments, stating, “It’s not 1981 anymore… It’s hard to keep a secret. It’s hard to hide who you’re talking to. It’s harder to hide your actions. And it’s even harder to hide who you know.”
While Johnson’s co-defendants Cornelius Smith and Hernandez Govan are also implicated, Govan, who is accused of ordering the hit, did not testify during the trial. Another suspect, Jermarcus Johnson, Justin Johnson’s half-brother, had previously pleaded guilty to accessory charges and testified against him.
Now, back to Wack. The controversial West Coast figure recalled a claim from Smith that someone from CMG, Yo Gotti’s record label, paid his $50,000 in lawyer fees but was unsure who did it. Hitting Instagram, Wack provided a warning: “Yo Gotti say your prayers.”
Young Dolph was fatally shot on November 17, 2021, while buying cookies at Makeda’s Cookies in Memphis. Two men fired shots into the store from a stolen Mercedes-Benz, with video footage leading to their arrest.

Attorney Says Names Will be Revealed Alongside Diddy in New Lawsuits: ‘The Names Will Shock You’
While announcing forthcoming lawsuits of over 100 people who claim to be victims of Sean “Diddy” Combs, attorney Tony Buzbee stated there will be additional enablers to go down with the mogul.
“We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates,” Buzbee said. “The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure — damn sure – that we’re right before we do that.”
He added, “The names will shock you.”
The lawsuits are expected to roll out across various states within the next 30 days and highlight those who were bystanders or encouraged the behavior. “I would imagine that as we speak here, there are a myriad of people who are very nervous. You can’t hide skeletons in the closet forever. I would expect there are many people out there right now who are desperately searching their memories as they delete their texts and data.”
Victims are allegedly as young as minors, including someone who was 9 years old.
