Drake Has Repeatedly ‘Turned Down’ Super Bowl Halftime Show, Mal Claims
Drake has turned down the Super Bowl halftime show multiple times, ‘New Rory & Mal’ host Jamil ‘Mal’ Clay said on the latest episode of his podcast.
Mal Affirms That Drake Has Turned Down Performing At The Super Bowl Multiple Times
Obviously, Drake is a major artist and in-demand performer. He’s also one of the biggest hitmakers of this generation and has global appeal. So, with MAL of New Rory & MAL saying that Drake has turned down multiple offers to perform at the Super Bowl is certainly a real possibility. However, believing that this is a true fact is very slim. This alleged truth was revealed on the latest episode of his show, and he says that The Boy has been presented with this opportunity “probably four” times. Right away, Rory and his other two co-hosts were immediately questioning the validity.
All of them claimed to have never heard about that and they asked MAL if that’s a fact or Drake told him that. However, he never responded to neither of those. Instead, he just reaffirmed that it was true without any explanation as to how or where he got that information from. Then, Rory went on to wonder why Drake would do such a thing given how immense the Super Bowl Halftime Show stage is. MAL was pretty vague and generic in his answer once again.

No One Is Buying Mal’s Claims About Drake & The Super Bowl
“I don’t know why he would turn it down. That’s up to the artist… maybe I’m on the road right now and I don’t wanna like… Whatever the reason may be”. So, yes, not much clarification from MAL whatsoever. This flimsy claim has fans saying the same thing we are, “This should not be just known right now”. One user on X writes, “Right…cuz that’s definitely believable that only Mal has info that the most streamed rapper in the world has turned down the SB multiple times
”, he begins. “And that that super secret info only Mal has heard about just so happens to come out after Kendrick’s SB announcement”. MAL also sounded like a staunch Drake fan when said that the MC was laughing about the Kendrick choice. Overall, it’s not fooling the internet (for the most part) or us.
What are your thoughts on Mal confidently stating that Drake has turned down multiple opportunities to perform at the Super Bowl? Is this a bunch of baloney or did you know this too? Do you think is just now coming out because of Kendrick Lamar being the act this year? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and the Super Bowl debate. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Diddy Lawyer Responds After He Loses $100M Default Judgment To Michigan Inmate: Everything To Know
Things couldn’t be going any worse for Diddy, especially now that a Michigan man who is currently incarcerated, Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, secured a $100M judgment against the music mogul, as first reported by the Detroit Metro-Times. Cardello-Smith accused Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting him at a party in Detroit back in 1997. The judgment came after Combs failed to appear at a court hearing. This ultimately led the judge to hand down a default ruling in favor of Cardello-Smith. Unfortunately for Diddy, this is the tip of the iceberg regarding his legal issues. Over the past few months, lawsuits have piled on as he faces allegations of sexual assault.

The Origins Of The Lawsuit
Cardello-Smith, now 51, claims he crossed paths with Combs in the late 1990s while working in Detroit’s hospitality industry. According to Cardello-Smith’s claims, Combs drugged and assaulted him at a party around this time. Despite the incident happening over two decades ago, Cardello-Smith took legal action in 2024. Representing himself in court, Cardello-Smith, who is serving a 75-year-sentence for criminal sexual conduct and kidnapping, per USA Today, has a history of filing civil lawsuits, gaining notoriety as a self-taught student of law while serving time in the Michigan prison system.
The case gained momentum when Lenawee County Circuit Court Judge Anna Marie Anzalone granted Cardello-Smith a temporary restraining order against Combs in August. Judge Anzalone issued this order to prevent Combs from liquidating his assets before the court could rule on potential damages.
Combs’ Alleged Attempts To Settle
According to court documents, Combs allegedly tried to settle the case out of court. He reportedly offered Cardello-Smith $2.3 million to drop the lawsuit. Cardello-Smith also provided the courts with prison facility information, including alleged proof of Diddy’s name logged into the visitation records. However, Cardello-Smith rejected the offer and indicated that he wanted to proceed with the case. In a virtual court hearing, Cardello-Smith recounted a conversation with Combs where the music producer reportedly said, “You know how we get down.” Cardello-Smith told the judge that he responded to Diddy, saying, “I disagree with how you get down.”

A Landmark Judgment
On September 9th, 2024, the court awarded Cardello-Smith a default judgment of $100M after Combs failed to appear for the virtual hearing. The court grants a default judgment when a defendant does not respond or fails to attend a legally required court proceeding. This could potentially be one of the largest judgments ever awarded to an inmate or a self-represented litigant in history.
Diddy’s Lawyer Responds
Regardless of the judgment, it appears that Diddy and his legal team are ready to file an appeal. In a statement provided to the media, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, strongly denied the allegations. “This man is a convicted felon and sexual predator, who has been sentenced on 14 counts of sexual assault and kidnapping over the last 26 years,” the statement reads. “His resume now includes committing a fraud on the court from prison, as Mr. Combs has never heard of him let alone been served with any lawsuit. Mr. Combs looks forward to having this judgment swiftly dismissed.”
A Growing List Of Legal Troubles For Diddy
Cardello-Smith’s lawsuit is just one in a series of legal issues facing Sean Combs in 2024. Over the past year, Combs has become the target of multiple lawsuits, many involving allegations of sexual assault or violence. These accusations have increasingly tarnished his once untouchable image as a music mogul, and the $100 million judgment only adds to the growing list of legal challenges he faces.
Earlier this year, a video leaked of Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, after the two reached a settlement in her lawsuit against him, where she accused him of physical and sexual abuse. Another bombshell lawsuit filed by producer Lil Rod similarly accused Diddy of abuse while claiming that the mogul did not pay him for the work on The Love Album. Furthermore, there have been rumors that Diddy could be subject to a federal investigation.

Dave Grohl Welcomes A Baby Daughter, But Not With His Wife
Dave Grohl has welcomed a fourth daughter, but this time, outside of his marriage. The Foo Fighter leader made the shocking announcement on his Instagram page on Tuesday. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” he wrote. “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.” He turned comments off for the post.

Back in 2007, Grohl revealed how he met Blum during an interview with Q Magazine, as resurfaced by Uproxx. “Taylor [Hawkins] and I were hanging out at the Sunset Marquis whiskey bar,” he recalled at the time. “Taylor was the looker. I mean, girls would send him drinks. Some bombshell comes up and starts talking to Taylor. I was just out of a Tenacious D session. I’ve got Vans trainers on, no socks, dirty shorts and a dirty T-shirt, surrounded by beautiful Hollywood. She waved her friend Jordyn over. I was like, ‘Oh my God. Not a chance!’ So I’m just having some drinks and acting like a jackass. And by the end of the night I was pissed and I’m staring at her going, ‘You’re my future ex-wife.’ So she gave me her number: ‘Jordyn, your future ex-wife.’”

Rich Homie Quan’s Father Says Funeral Service Will Be Open To The Public
Today, we have been gathering more and more information about the tragic and bewildering passing of Rich Homie Quan. Just hours ago, we got word about what possibly caused his death. There’s been some speculation that it was a drug overdose; however, a death incident report from local authorities tells a different story. Accounts from the rapper’s brother, Andre Munford, and girlfriend, Amber Williams suggest that he somehow passed out while eating and choked on the food that was in his mouth. More details are sure to arise soon, but none of that really matters. We are all heartbroken over his loss and the father of the Atlanta MC knows that.
Its why Rich Homie Quan’s funeral is going to be open to everyone, according to Corey Lamar. Penn Live says that the original plans for the service were going to be private and abbreviated. This was so that the family could begin “the healing process” sooner. However, Mr. Lamar clearly did some thinking and felt that people who supported him in any way deserved the opportunity to come too.

“Without the fans, there would be no Quan,” he said. At this time, nothing else is known about the hard details. Mr. Lamar says information on the service “will be shared soon”, though. Fans online are pretty skeptical and/or not happy about this decision, as they feel strangers at a rapper’s funeral could get out of hand. At the end of the day, though, it’s up to the family and everyone should respect the decision they’ve gone with.

Slim Jxmmi Threatens To “Slap The ‘A Bay Bay’” Out Of Hurricane Chris Amid Super Bowl Argument
Hurricane Chris and Slim Jxmmi have been trading shots on social media over the NFL’s choice to have Kendrick Lamar perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. After Chris compared the situation to his recent complaints about 50 Cent’s lineup to his Humor & Harmony festival in Shreveport, the Rae Sremmurd rapper trolled him on social media.
“So now you n****s understand it, huh? Same sh*t that I was just saying 50 Cent did in Shreveport, now it’s happening in New Orleans on a bigger scale,” Chris said. “People like Master P come in on it, so now everybody understand? I just made this same f*cking statement.” In response, Jxmmi commented: “BRUH! AINT NO WAY YOU STILL REACHING! [crying face emoji].” That prompted Chris to respond with, “@slimjxmmi mind yo business unless you wanna see these hands bruh on god what’s poppin,” to which Jxmmi threatened, “I’ll slap the ‘A Bay Bay’ out this n***a [100 emoji].”
