DJ Akademiks Asks Meek Mill To Pay Him For Allegedly Finding The Person Behind Diddy Rumors

by

Since the initial wave of lawsuits against Diddy, many folks online theorized that Meek Mill was somehow involved in the Bad Boy mogul’s alleged sexual assault scandal. Moreover, this is because Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Sean Combs made an allusion to an unnamed Philadelphia rapper, but Meek himself has vehemently denied any involvement in any capacity. However, he might see a retort to that thanks to a new allegation from DJ Akademiks. Furthermore, on his livestream, Ak alleged to have found out who was the person behind these rumors. He said that he will let the Philly MC know who it is once he gets some cash.

“Full exposé, I don’t care who’s behind it,” DJ Akademiks’ allegations began. “Meek, send the $100,000 over. By the way, can somebody send this message to Meek Mill? I found out who’s behind the Diddy and Meek Mill press. Everything going out. I found out the person. I have the name, I have the report. But I need the $100,000 in my bank account before I give it to you, Meek Mill. I found out who was behind making sure that a n***a who be in the trenches is actually – his name is going to be aligned with Diddy and other people. But as you said, I need that $100,000.”

“Dear Meek Mill,” DJ Akademiks captioned a post featuring this livestream clip on his alternate Instagram account, @djakademikstv. “Akademiks and his team of private investigators at the Akademy have discovered the individual linking you and Diddy after a 2 week investigation. Please wire the $100,000 to Akademiks bank account. And the name of the individual linking you to Diddy will be revealed.”

Meanwhile, Bobby Shmurda also has a theory as to why there are many Meek Mill rumors not just about Diddy, but also about his sexuality. “You leave that team, they come for you,” Shmurda said on The Danza Project, alluding to how labels and public relations teams allegedly spread these rumors after he left them. “We own the internet, we [will] spread all these rumors about you. I [will] put a thousand, three thousand comments. Make them jokes, I’m gonna pay for comments on every post.”

Diddy Accuser’s Lawyer Recalls Hearing About Sex Tapes Allegedly Featuring Mogul & Other Celebrities

by

Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, an attorney who represented one of the women suing Diddy, recently appeared on NewsNation’s “Banfield” to discuss the mogul’s legal battle. During the interview, she claimed she’s been told three sex tapes allegedly featuring Diddy and other celebrities exist. “The individuals who contacted me purported to have three different tapes with three different celebrities, including Diddy, and then a fourth celebrity without Diddy but in a compromising situation with someone,” she alleged.

Mitchell-Kidd didn’t specify exactly who they said was featured in the alleged tapes, but described them as “A-list celebrities.” She added that while she heard about the alleged tapes, she hadn’t seen them herself. For this reason, she’s unable to confirm whether or not they really exist.

“I can’t attest to whether or not they exist or not,” she explained. “I just was told initially that ‘they’ own this treasure trove of videos, so I have to believe that there are a lot of celebrities who know what they did ….” Mitchell-Kidd’s latest allegations come after a source, who reportedly took part in the raids of Diddy’s mansions in March, detailed the footage they allegedly obtained in an interview with The Post. “There are recognizable names [in footage we obtained], but I won’t confirm any of their identities. But it’s more than just that one,” they alleged.

Mitchell-Kidd also spoke with News Nation about the alleged tapes last month. “There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around. But one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video,” she alleged at the time. “I can tell the video was pornographic. This was in his Atlanta home, and it does seem like the person isn’t looking into the video. To me, it doesn’t seem like that person knows they’re being videotaped.” What do you think of Ariel Mitchell-Kidd claiming to have been told that sex tapes allegedly featuring Diddy and other celebs exist?

Bronny James’ Worn Jersey Sells For Almost $40K At Auction

by

Bronny James and his father LeBron are the NBA’s first father-son teammate duo, making any memorabilia commemorating the former’s entry into the league a representation of history. Moreover, according to TMZ, Bronny’s first Summer League jersey (which he wore for a July 12 game against the Houston Rockets in Las Vegas) sold at an auction by Sotheby’s in mid-September for over $38,000. It now belongs to the “Lakers Shrine,” largely acknowledged among the world’s most lauded private Los Angeles Lakers collections. But who bought it? It’s David Kohler, the president and founder of SCP Auctions. He doesn’t have an auction of his own, but he also has worn and owned items from many legends like Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar… You name it.

During Bronny James’ July 12 game, he scored eight points in 27 minutes as his first taste of NBA action, although he hasn’t played a regular season game yet. The Lakers will open the regular season on October 22 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. “I’m just excited to go out there and learn and learn from the people playing in front of me,” Bronny had told reporters about his first games on the court. “And, if I get a chance to showcase my game, then I’m going to do that to the best of my ability.”

The “Lakers Shrine” That Now Hosts Bronny James’ Jersey

As for Kohler, he told TMZ that he wanted his hands on Bronny James’ jersey due to the historical factor we mentioned earlier. But otherwise, life moves on outside of the NBA, and we got some other updates regarding Bronny’s everyday happenings. Parker Whitfield recently confirmed that they’re dating thanks to a tender National Boyfriend Day post on social media.

Meanwhile, here’s what LeBron James himself said about his and his son’s dynamic on the court. “[He] cannot call me dad in the workplace,” he said on The Shop. “Once we leave out the private facility and the gates close, I could be dad again [and], in the car, if we ride together, at home I could be dad. We cannot be running down the court, and he’d be like, ‘Dad, push the ball up! Dad, I’m open! Dad, come on!’ He got to call me like ‘2-3’ or ‘Bron’ or, you know, ‘GOAT’ if he want to. It’s up to him.”

Erick The Architect Releases Introspective New Single “Beverly Drive”

by

For the uninitiated, Erick The Architect has been among rap’s best-kept secrets for the last several years. He was the producer for Flatbush Zombies (as Erick Arc Elliott), the forward-thinking rap trio that came up as part of the Capital STEEZ and Joey Bada$$-led Pro Era movement in the early 2010s. He was also an occasional rapper. Since they’ve embarked on solo careers, Erick continued to produce, and only recently tried his hand at rapping more often. “Beverly Drive” is his latest single, and it is one of his most thoughtful solo tracks to date.

“Beverly Drive” is a reference (to a degree) to Beverly Rd in Brooklyn, where Erick explains is where in Flatbush he grew up. He raps about his impoverished upbringing, dealing with depression, and how rap ended up being his escape from it all. Flatbush Zombies were a highly successful act, and Erick The Architect spun off into a career as an accomplished producer before getting on the mic himself. This is the latest in what has been a significant year for Erick. He dropped I’ve Never Been Here Before in February, his first full album as a solo rapper. It featured George Clinton, Channel Tres, Joey Bada$$, and many others. He also appeared on Chuck Strangers’ album A Forsaken Lovers Plea. Erick has been busy this year, and “Beverly Drive” is the latest in a prolific year for him. Check out the new single below.

Erick The Architect – “Beverly Drive”

Quotable Lyrics:

Bad depression, had to park it like a valet
I went to church, but I got nervous what the pastor say
Spoke of greed, I always felt like it was just for me
Poor decisions, I was stealing, wishing it would fade
Now they steal my vision, so I can’t say anything
Would we be the same? Dog, I hang my head in shame

DDG Shares Cryptic Message About “Drama” After Halle Bailey Breakup

by

Earlier this week, DDG took to social media to announce that he and Halle Bailey have gone their separate ways. He described the breakup as amicable, and even claimed they’re still “best friends.” Regardless, the news has prompted big reactions from social media users, who continue to speculate about what could have caused the split.

Yesterday, for example, fans made countless jokes about Usher possibly having something to do with the young couple’s demise. This is due to a clip of the R&B icon trying to feed the Little Mermaid actress a cherry, which made its rounds online last week. Obviously, this was all in jest, but the same can’t be said for all of the theories.

DDG On Drama

While Bailey has yet to break her silence on the breakup, DDG made some interesting remarks during a recent livestream. “Let me reiterate this, this has been planned before anything y’all see, drama-related or anything,” he said. Most Hollywood Unlocked commenters believe he was referring to his idea to take women to a nail salon on stream. Others speculate that he was talking about his breakup or any of the drama that might follow.

These aren’t the only rumors surrounding the couple these days, however. Recently, a fake message from DDG has been making its rounds online, which he quickly confirmed he didn’t write. “I’m a grown man I can make my own decisions. We chose to split because of personal reasons, nah it’s not a skit. I’m not hurt,” the fake post reads. “As long as my son good I’m good.” It was rumored to have been posted on his close friends story, but according to him, he doesn’t even use close friends. What do you think of DDG delivering a cryptic message after announcing that he and Halle Bailey broke up?
