Diddy Is Worried About His Kids Following His Arrest, Source Alleges
It’s no secret that Diddy’s in a tough spot right now. Earlier this week, the Bad Boy Records founder was arrested in New York City following months of damning allegations and lawsuits. He’s since been hit with multiple charges and could face a maximum of life in prison if convicted. Today, it was reported that the mogul has been placed on suicide watch, though his lawyer Marc Agnifilo insists that it’s simply part of the facility’s protocol.
In fact, Agnifilo described Diddy as “strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense” today. Now, however, sources who recently spoke with TMZ have revealed what his main concern is. According to them, it’s his seven kids, Quincy, Justin, King, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie, and Love. He’s reportedly desperate for an opportunity to speak to them amid the difficult circumstances, which haven’t been easy for anyone involved.

Diddy Reportedly Wants To Speak To His Children
The source also adds that Diddy’s loved ones are leaning on each other and their faith at this time. For now, it remains unclear when he could have an opportunity to finally talk to his children. He’s reportedly on a strict schedule at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Earlier this week, his request for pre-trial release was also denied for a second time.
“The government has proven the defendant is a danger,” U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter said of the ruling. “The bail package is insufficient even on risk of flight.” What do you think of Diddy allegedly being desperate to speak to his children amid his legal battle?

Quavo Gets Sued By Louisiana Rapper Over Allegedly Stolen “Quavo Huncho” Track
It’s been a busy few months for Quavo. The Atlanta-born artist has taken part in various high-profile collaborations, performed at awards shows, and is even set to appear in an upcoming film. Now, he has something else a lot less exciting on his plate. According to TMZ Hip Hop, he’s being sued by a Louisiana rapper named Lamount London, or L.Mont.
L.Mont claims to have opened for Migos and 2 Chainz back in 2016 at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. At the time, he alleges that he took the opportunity to give Quavo a CD containing his track “Bubble Gum,” which he recorded the year prior. L.Mont says he did this hoping for an opportunity to work with him in the future. Unfortunately, he never heard from him again.

L.Mont Accuses Quavo Of Copying “Bubble Gum”
A couple of years later, however, Quavo unleashed his debut studio album Quavo Huncho. L.Mont quickly noticed that one track, “Bubble Gum,” sounded familiar. He alleges that the lyrics, arrangement, and melody are his work and is now seeking damages. These aren’t the only legal issues plaguing Quavo these days, however. Earlier this week, he also appeared in court to give his testimony about a 2018 incident in Las Vegas.
The former Migo got into an altercation with Encore Hotel & Casino valet Antonio Henry at the time. Henry later accused Quavo of injuring him physically and emotionally, per 8 News Now, and is seeking monetary damages. When asked what he thought his image was in court, Quavo said “to be a great role model, for the kids at least… And just be myself and show them where I came from. I always – never forget where I came from. But, also just be kind to others.” What do you think of Louisiana rapper L.Mont suing Quavo for allegedly stealing his song?

Philip “Daddae” Harvey, Founding Member of Soul II Soul, Passes Away at 60
Philip “Daddae” Harvey, a founding member of the iconic British musical group Soul II Soul, has passed away at the age of 60. The news of his sudden death was shared on the group’s social media pages, with his family confirming the tragic event on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
In an emotional statement posted on Instagram, the Harvey family wrote: “The Harvey family are truly saddened to announce the passing of Philip ‘Daddae’ Harvey on the afternoon of Tuesday 10th September 2024. He had some health issues, however, his death was sudden and unexpected.” The family added, “We are all in shock and are focusing on looking after our Mum, his son and each other. Philip leaves with us his love of family, his passion for music, and his excitement of finding joy in the simplest things.”
Soul II Soul, which Harvey helped form in 1988, became a defining force in the UK’s music scene with their blend of R&B, soul, and reggae. The group is best known for chart-topping hits such as “Keep On Movin’” and “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me),” both of which solidified their legacy in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Harvey was a multi-instrumentalist within the band, contributing on guitar, percussion, and keyboards, helping shape the unique sound that made Soul II Soul internationally renowned.
No cause of death has been revealed at this time, and Harvey’s passing has left the music world in mourning. Fans and fellow musicians alike have expressed their condolences, sharing memories of the joy and energy he brought to his music.
Harvey’s legacy, both as a musician and as a beloved family man, will be remembered by all who were touched by his passion for life and the creative spirit he embodied. The Harvey family asks for privacy during this difficult time, as they focus on supporting each other and cherishing the memories Philip leaves behind.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and loved ones.

First L’Gnar Now SZA Sound Off On Dangers of Galaxy Gas: “You tryna entice the kids on purpose?”
WTF is Galaxy Gas and why is it seemingly being marketed to the youth? That’s a serious question many are starting to ask when it comes to the weird craze involving inhaling nitrous oxide. Of course this “trend” is being proliferated on none other than socials and easily sold in everyday online stores such as Amazon.
First, L’Gnar recently went viral when he chucked a can of Galaxy Gas into a dumpster in a sign that he thinks the product is as bad as it sounds.
Here’s L’Gnar’s post making his point …
But an even louder voice just sounded off on the perceived dangers of Galaxy Gas.
SZA recently is raising concerns and now more people are taking notice.
“Sorry to be old n annoying but.. Is no one gonna talk about how galaxy gas came out of nowhere and is being MASS marketed to black children?” she said.
SZA continued to criticize how the government appears to be doing nothing about this issue, stating, “Since when are we selling whip its at the store???? Somebody protect the children.”
SZA then posted a screenshot of the harmful side effects of nitrous oxide, which can lead to neurological and psychiatric damage.
She has a point. Period.
She also found the branding of Galaxy Gas troubling, pointing out its childlike designs and bright colors. “Something about the childlike designs and marketing is so spooky… stars and bright colors? You tryna entice the kids on purpose?” she asked.
Check out the canister. Weird a** marketing if you ask us.
Some critics pushed back, if you can imagine that.
The say whippits have been around for years, SZA fired back and let em have it …
“Yes .. I’m aware whippits have been around since we were younger. GALAXY GAS however was founded in 2021 in metro Atlanta and is currently being marketed to CHILDREN.” She also highlighted that the product, with its childlike branding, is sold in popular stores like Walmart and gas stations. “Stop being dense and HELP THESE KIDS. Hell,” she emphasized.
WTF is the actual product, Galaxy Gas?
Galaxy Gas was founded in 2021 in Atlanta, so they are a new company. It markets itself as high-quality whipped cream chargers intended for culinary purposes, such as making foams and mousse.
Oh really?
However, the product has increasingly been misused for recreational purposes, with people inhaling the nitrous oxide to experience a brief high. The company has tried to distance itself from these uses, making it clear on their website that the product is intended solely for culinary purposes. Their disclaimer stresses that any use outside of food preparation is unlawful.
Like we said, the trend has gained traction on social media, with some rappers even appearing to participate in it. SMH!
But others are not here for the nonsense. As we said earlier, rapper Lil Gnar, has taken a stand. The Chief Keef collaborator tossed a Galaxy Gas canister into the trash. Yea, yea we already said it, but we’re saying it again in case you missed that part and his post.
This whole Galaxy Gas thing is wild. As if parents or susceptible children who are out there doing whatever don’t have enough to worry about in this violent world.
Despite the company’s attempts to limit the product’s use to food, its accessibility and child-targeted branding have made it a concerning issue for many, not just SZA and L’Gnar. So maybe we should all take notice and make it a point to take action. Just an idea.

Diddy’s Radio Airtime Takes Major Hit Amid Federal Investigation
Earlier this week, Diddy was arrested in New York City. Of course, the arrest didn’t exactly come out of the blue, as the mogul has faced countless damning allegations and lawsuits in recent months. He’s been hit with multiple charges and could face a maximum of life in prison if convicted. According to TMZ, however, his freedom isn’t the only thing that’s taken a major hit.
Sources connected to Audacy recently told the outlet that most of their stations stopped playing Diddy’s music earlier this year. This was shortly after the security footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016 surfaced online. Now, the sources say that since his arrest, they’ve stopped playing his music entirely.

Many Radio Stations Stopped Playing Diddy’s Music Once Cassie Assault Footage Was Released, TMZ Reports
An iHeartRadio spokesperson also spoke with the outlet and explained that each station in their national syndication is different. While some stopped playing Diddy’s songs several months ago, others only stopped once the aforementioned footage of Cassie’s assault went public. A rep for 93.5 KDAY said they stopped playing Diddy’s music too, but failed to specify exactly why. Currently, Diddy is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His request for pre-trial release on bail was denied for a second time earlier this week, as the judge labeled him a potential flight risk.
“The government has proven the defendant is a danger,” U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter said. “The bail package is insufficient even on risk of flight.” His lawyer has since confirmed that he’s been placed on suicide watch per the facility’s protocol, but claims the mogul is “strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense.” What do you think of Diddy getting less radio play following his arrest?

Blu & Exile Reassert Themselves With “Love (the) Ominous World”
There aren’t many better than Blu & Exile when it comes to underground hip-hop tandems. Or is there really any above them? That is a question that you may want to pose to yourself after listening to their newest project. That’s right, this weekend, Blu & Exile are here with Love (the) Ominous World, their latest collaborative record as a group. This is their fourth one to be exact, and it’s their first since 2020’s Miles. Heading into this Friday, the multi-hyphenates had given fans two songs to chew on before dropping off the other 10.
The grand and celebratory closer “Love Is Blu”, and the head-nodding West Coast bop that is “Gold” led things off terrifically. Some of the songs on this album really see Blu at his most braggadocious. “Undisputed” is perhaps the most obvious one of the bunch, and it’s also one of the best here. On top of great rapping, Exile is also giving you quality in the instrumental department. From great disc scratching to bumping drum patterns and everything in between, he’s really giving you his peak self. Overall, it’s a fantastic return for Blu & Exile as a pairing and we highly encourage you give it a try.
