Boosie Badazz Argues Diddy’s Only Done “What Every Other Famous Entertainer Has Done”

by

Boosie Badazz came to Diddy’s defense on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning, after authorities arrested him in New York City, earlier this week. In a 14-page federal indictment, prosecutors accused the Bad Boy mogul of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Boosie says “every other famous entertainer” has done the same thing, and Diddy’s only issue is being “freakier.”

“i feel DIDDY N JAIL FOR BASICALLY DOING WHAT EVERY OTHER FAMOUS ENTERTAINER HAS DONE ‘FLEW B*TCHES OUT FOR 3 SOMES ‘HE JUST FREAKIER!!” he wrote. “WE ACTUALLY GO CALL WOMEN PROSTITUTES WHO FLY N WILLINGLY TO BE WITH THEY PARTNERS FOR SEX?

Despite his defense of Diddy on X on Wednesday, Boosie previously criticized him earlier this year, after CNN published footage of him hitting Cassie at a hotel in 2016. Speaking with DJ Vlad at the time, he admitted the clip pissed him off. “That’s not the bad part, him chasing her down. Him kicking her on that ground, like, you kick somebody in the face, you’re motherf*cking– you sick man. A woman, you sick bro,” Boosie said. “I was pissed. I was like, ‘Damn, Diddy.’”

Boosie Badazz Speaks Out On Diddy

Diddy is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after a federal judge denied his attempt at getting out on bail. He’s already pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence. Check out Boosie’s full take on Diddy’s arrest below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Boosie Badazz on HotNewHipHop.

A fun music fan pastime is to think about some artists you’d like to see work together on a dream collaboration. If you’re in the cross-section of Kid Cudi and J. Cole fans, that meet-up hasn’t happened yet, but not due to a lack of trying.

On X (formerly Twitter) today (September 18), a fan told Cudi they’d want to see him collaborate with Cole. Cudi responded, “I had a session w Cole for Indicud he couldnt write to the beat I produced. It was a bummer, and I always wanted to do something so I reached out for INSANO, no response. So theres that.”

In a response to another tweet, Cudi wrote, “Cole dope I fux w him.” He added in another tweet, “Yea for sure I dont think Cole dislikes me I think he just didnt connect w what I sent him. One day hopefully it happens.”

Somebody else asked who Cudi is looking forward to collaborating with next and he responded, “No one new really im all tapped out haha I think my next couple albums will be really short w features. Maybe 1 or 2. Depends on if something comes up organically. OH! Chip im always excited about. Hes my favorite collaborator hands down. We dont have any weak songs its beautiful and pure @kingchip.”

Cudi was referencing Chip Tha Ripper, with whom he just collaborated on the new song “Don’t Worry.”

Nicki Minaj Is Still Not A US Citizen Despite Her Best Efforts

by

Nicki Minaj says she still doesn’t have United States citizenship, despite moving to the country from Trinidad and Tobago as a child. Discussing the situation on TikTok Live, she complained about having paid millions of dollars in taxes to U.S., but still not having been given citizenship.

“I’m not a citizen of America. Isn’t that crazy?” she said. “I was born on a beautiful island called Trinidad and Tobago. But I’ve been in the States for many years. You would think that with the millions of dollars that I’ve paid in taxes to this country that I would have been given an honorary citizenship many, many, many thousands of years ago.”

It’s not the first time Minaj has discussed her journey to the United States. Back in 2018, she reflected on coming to the country illegally as the Donald Trump administration detained immigrants at the border. “I came to this country as an illegal immigrant at 5 years old,” she revealed on Instagram at the time. “I can’t imagine the horror of being in a strange place and having my parents stripped away from me at the age of 5. This is so scary to me. Please stop this. Can you try to imagine the terror & panic these kids feel right now? Not knowing if their parents are dead or alive, if they’ll ever see them again… ”

Nicki Minaj Speaks On Her Citizenship Status

Check out Nicki’s full comments on not being a United States citizen below.

Meek Mill Makes Unexpected Announcement After Diddy’s Arrest

by

Earlier this week, Diddy was arrested amid several lawsuits and shocking allegations surrounding him. He was charged with “racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution,” according to TMZ. His first request for release on bail was denied, and today, he’s asking the judge to reconsider. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Diddy’s not the only one with a lot on his plate at the moment, however, as Meek Mill also recently took to Twitter/X with a fun revelation. “In other news…. I bought a farm the other day,” he wrote simply. The rapper didn’t share much more than that about his latest endeavor, though he did follow up with a message about how God is responsible for his success.

Meek Mill Reveals That He Bought A New Farm

Of course, Meek Mill’s farm announcement comes after fans speculated that he was named in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy. In it, Lil Rod alleged that the mogul had a sexual relationship with “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.” He’s since been the victim of relentless online trolling, which has only increased since details of Diddy’s indictment went public. Before the security footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie surfaced earlier this year, Meek made it clear that he wasn’t believing every damning allegation made against the Bad Boy Records founder.

After the footage was released, however, he unfollowed Diddy on social media. This appeared to indicate that he had seen what he needed to see to develop an opinion on his case. What do you think of Meek Mill revealing that he bought a farm following Diddy’s arrest? Do you want to hear what he has to say about it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
