Mariah The Scientist says she’s feeling “devastated” and “sad,” after being unable to visit with Young Thug to celebrate their three-year anniversary. Speaking with her followers on Instagram Live, she explained that the jail where authorities are holding the rapper told her their systems were down. She had driven all the way to the facility in hopes of speaking with Thug.
“It’s my three-year anniversary with Jeff. I done drove all the way to the motherf–king jail. The jail is 30 minutes from the city, first of all,” she began. “I done drove all the way to the jail and stopped at Party City in between so I could tape up my little ‘Happy Anniversary’ sign in the back because there’s not much space. It’s through a screen, by the way.”

She continued: “I done drove all the way to the motherf–king jail with my ‘Happy Anniversary’ sign and my Scotch tape and get inside for them to say, ‘The system is down.’ I’m devastated. I’m looking cute. I put this ponytail in my head. I done did all this s–t and I can’t see my man on my anniversary and I am sad, devastated. That is so crazy … I had to let you in on my trials and tribulations. It’s always some s–t, huh?”
Mariah The Scientist Attempts To Visit Young Thug

Chrisean Rock has seen her fair share of ups and downs in recent months. Over the summer, the new mother was arrested at a hearing for her son’s father, Blueface. She was later transferred to a state prison, and roughly a month later, got to reunite with the one-year-old. Now, she’s sat down with Pastor Jamal Bryant for one of her first interviews since her release.
During their conversation, she opened up about how she felt throughout her first night behind bars, where she sees herself in the future, and more. According to her, she’s on a much better path these days. She says that moving forward, she doesn’t plan on taking part in any self-destructive behavior.
“I was calm and I was at peace. I didn’t cry, I knew I had to take care of my responsibilities and obligations with my legal and I just asked God for that place to be a spiritual hospital because I felt like I was dragging the Holy Spirit everywhere I went,” she said of her first night in jail. “Doing the most, and the Holy Spirit was grieving and I didn’t have the strength to pull away from things, people, places and things.”
When Chrisean was first released from prison, she told her followers on Instagram Live that she was focused on caring for her son and staying true to her faith. This lines up with what she told Bryant. When asked where she sees herself in five years, she told him “Just walking straight in my purity.” What do you think of Chrisean Rock opening up about her first night in jail during a recent interview with Pastor Jamal Bryant?

Suge Knight believes that Diddy is going through drug withdrawals in jail while awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He shared his theory during an interview with Chris Cuomo on his NewsNation show, earlier this week. Over the last year, several lawsuits against the Bad Boy mogul have accused him of using cocaine, although he’s denied the allegations.
“Nobody’s stepping up [to defend him] for the fact that you know what’s going on,” Suge began, before saying that regardless, he doesn’t expect him to flip. “I don’t think nobody is counting him out. I don’t think he’s going to crawl in a corner and die. He’s probably going through a lot of sh*t right now because he probably going through a lot of withdrawals from the drugs. But the industry got him on drugs.”

Diddy’s former lawyer, Mark Geragos, whose daughter is now on his legal team, told NewsNation afterward that the claims are baseless. “There’s no indication in the indictment that any of that is true,” Geragos told the outlet. “I don’t think Suge has any insight into anything that has happened within the last 10 years, other than the usual conspiracy scuttlebutt.”
Suge Knight Speaks On Diddy
Authorities arrested Diddy on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, last week, while sharing a 14-page federal indictment against him. He’s since pleaded not guilty and continues to maintain his innocence. He was unable to get approved for bail and will be residing behind bars until his next court appearance. Be on the lookout for further updates on Suge Knight and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
Suge Knight says Diddy is going through drug withdrawals in jail and reveals that a guy named Tubby had a job at the label, which involved bringing underage girls for artists and employees.
Romeo Miller says Diddy needs to apologize for his alleged actions and he’ll receive forgiveness from God, but earning back the trust of everyone else will be “a little bit harder.” He discussed the Bad Boy mogul’s shocking arrest during an interview with TMZ, earlier this week.
“I do want to give some gems to the kids out there because you got to live and you got to learn from other people. When you get that much power you have to be willing to do what’s right,” he said. “That’s what our kids got to know coming up. Everything comes full circle. And from my experience, I would say that you always got to apologize. If you do wrong in any way, you got to go to that person behind closed doors and try to make it right. Nobody’s perfect. But justice always comes around so you have to do your best part. When you know you messed up, try to make it right. God forgives all but humans, it’s a little bit harder for us to forgive. We all make the bed that we lay in.”

Authorities arrested Diddy in New York City, last week, publishing a 14-page federal indictment against him. It detailed allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering, to which he has already pleaded not guilty. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, was unable to get him out on bail and he remains at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Romeo Miller Speaks On Diddy’s Arrest

Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, is giving up on getting the Bad Boy mogul out of the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after his appeal failed, last week. In a court filing obtained by AllHipHop, the attorney explained that, at this point, there’s nothing left that can be done until further notice. He had previously requested that his client at least be moved to Essex County after being unable to get him out on bail. The rapper’s legal team had described the conditions at MDC Brooklyn as “horrific.”
“Following the September 18, 2024 court appearance, the court ordered a status update from counsel concerning any request related to the location of Mr. Combs’ detention,” his lawyer Marc Agnifilo wrote. “At this point, there is no request from counsel that the court take any action.”

Authorities arrested Diddy, last week, sharing a 14-page federal indictment against him. “For decades, Sean Combs … abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct,” the indictment read. “To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled—creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.” He’s since pleaded not guilty and has denied all of the allegations.
At the Brooklyn jail, Diddy is currently on suicide watch, although Agnifilo has clarified that the move is standard procedure for new, high-profile inmates. R. Kelly, Jeffrey Epstein, and more celebrities have stayed there in the past. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
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.

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? Does this surprise you or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Earlier this week, PEOPLE reported that Diddy has been placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his arrest. The sources the outlet spoke with described the mogul as “in shock,” and claimed that “his mental state is unclear.” Now, his lawyer Marc Agnifilo has confirmed this with TMZ. According to him, however, this doesn’t mean that Diddy is suicidal.
Agnifilo says the suicide watch was “issued by MDC officials,” and that it’s a standard procedure for “new, high-profile inmates.” He adds that he spent six hours at the facility yesterday with Diddy, who appeared in relatively good spirits.

He’s “not at all suicidal,” Aginifilo claims, and is instead “strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense.” This is certainly good news, as it looks like Diddy has a long battle ahead of him. He’s been charged with “racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.” If convicted, he faces a minimum sentence of 15 years, and a maximum sentence of life in prison.
He appeared in court for an appeal hearing earlier this week where he was denied bail for the second time. “The government has proven the defendant is a danger,” U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter said at the time. “The bail package is insufficient even on risk of flight.” Regardless, Aginifilo appears confident. “He’s going to clear his name and we’re going to stand by his side as he does,” he told reporters this week, per CNN. “We believe in him wholeheartedly.” What do you think of Diddy’s lawyer claiming that he’s “not at all suicidal” despite being on suicide watch?

Diddy is currently in one of the most dangerous and “horrific” detention centers in the United States. After his first bail package was denied –it includes selling his and his mother’s Miami homes, as well as being under a watchful eye at all times– he was admitted into the MDC in Brooklyn. The Metropolitan Detention Center is constantly dealing with some sort of issues, with some being graver than others. According to Yahoo! News, they include “rampant violence, dreadful conditions, severe staffing shortages and the widespread smuggling of drugs and other contraband, some of it facilitated by employees”. At the same time, they say they’ve been subject to nearly perpetual lockdowns and have been barred from leaving their cells for visits, calls, showers or exercise.
Additionally, “perpetual lockdowns” are a commonality, as well as not being allowed to leave their cells for “visits, calls, showers or exercise”. However, easily the most harrowing is the number of suicides and general deaths at the MDC. Cameron Lindsay, a former warden from the detention center, tells TMZ that all of the former, especially the latter, are things Diddy should be extremely wary of. Lindsay says that other inmates see killing certain criminals as a “badge of honor”. The music mogul fits into that mold based on status alone, but also due to the scarring allegations.
Warden Details What Diddy Will Expect At The MDC In Brooklyn

Its why Diddy is currently being housed in the Special Housing Unit of the MDC. It’s a sector that keeps people like Diddy away from general prison mates. Lindsay also reveals that he won’t have a lot of access overall. That means one hour of rec time, three shows per week, three 1,800 calorie meals of varying freshness, and more. Furthermore, family and friends will have less time to see Diddy in comparison to his legal team. There’s also a commissary with available goods such as food, clothing, and some technology. Overall, the embattled star is going to have rough living conditions, to say the least.
What are your thoughts on this former warden detailing how much Diddy’s life is at risk at the MDC? Do you think he will avoid prison time with his latest bail package? 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 Diddy.

Although she wants to be respected as an artist, Chrisean Rock may be more well-known for her relationship with Blueface and court cases. She emerged on Blueface’s reality show, which pitted young women against one another in the boxing ring. Chrisean’s tenacity and disturbing dedication to Blueface set her apart, and soon, she was known across social media platforms after losing a tooth during a match. Rock’s hot-headed attitude, willingness to fight anyone who stood in her way, and adoration for Blueface captivated audiences and online commentators. Soon, Blueface put her in the studio, and she had a viral hit on her hands with “Vibe.”
The track helped establish Chrisean as an artist as she performed at small events nationwide. However, her introductory moments in the spotlight were shadowed by ongoing controversies, including public displays of domestic abuse, arrests, fights with relatives, explosive social media moments, allegations of partying during her pregnancy, and now, a jail sentence and extradition. In her college years, Chrisean Rock was a young lady full of promise who some believed would pursue a sports career. Obviously, her life’s path headed in another direction once connecting with Blueface, and she’s facing several legal issues that could set her back even further.
Chrisean’s Courthouse Arrest
As Blueface faced a court case of his own that resulted in a four-year sentence, Chrisean wanted to support the father of her 11-month-old son. In June 2024, Blueface was in court for his probation violation charges related to a Las Vegas shooting, and Chrisean was at the San Fernando Valley courthouse to be by his side. However, she found herself in cuffs after authorities arrested her concerning a fugitive warrant related to a case out of Oklahoma and an assault case involving Tamar Braxton’s associate, James Wright.
Meanwhile, Blueface’s mother, Karlissa Saffold, called Rock’s arrest a “low blow” and “bad timing.” She also publicly reached out to Kim Kardashian on social media, hoping that the mogul would use her legal connections to help with the case. “That wasn’t the time,” Saffold told TMZ of Rock’s arrest. “She had her kid and she was there supporting my son, so I don’t agree with it.”
The Assault Case
About the assault charge, an altercation occurred in November 2023 when Wright and Rock engaged in a scuffle following a performance in Los Angeles at the Novo. Wright later sued Rock, accusing her of repeatedly striking him so hard that her rings, compared to brass knuckles, broke two teeth and cut his face. According to Vibe, Le Troy Davis from Braxton’s entourage said the rapper showed up to the Novo “drunk, with 1,000 people, smelling like weed.” Rock gave birth to her son, Chrisean Malone Jr., in September 2023, months before the incident.
Braxton was performing at the Novo, where Rock made an appearance. According to reports, the Baddies star became upset after she wasn’t allowed to take to the stage to perform one of her songs. Things became heated backstage, where Rock and Wright engaged in a war of words. However, things became physical, and Wright was left with injuries. He would expound on the night in a video. “Everybody wanna tell stories and tell they versions… I was an innocent bystander,” Wright shared, per Vibe. “You know, you still gotta keep joy and stuff… I don’t know what be wrong with people.” He added, “Y’all should see my f*cking face.”
Further, Tamar Braxton also commented on the altercation. She said she looked at Rock like a younger sister who she wanted to help, particularly because they were both from Maryland. Braxton also confirmed that Rock assaulted Wright after the rapper was upset she was invited to the stage to dance but not to perform. Initially, Rock blamed “false narratives” for the controversy, but a judge thought otherwise. She entered a plea of no contest and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and one year of probation. The reality star also must stay 100 yards from the Novo and Wright. Because she and Blueface were in jail at the same time, their son was put in the care of friends and relatives. Upon her release, she was extradited to Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Case
In Fall of 2020, Blueface and Chrisean Rock were back in the headlines following a strange report about her driving cross country. According to the California rapper and his team, his girlfriend allegedly broke into his home, stole his car, and attempted to drive back to her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Yet, she was stopped by police in Oklahoma, where she was said to have been found with drugs in the vehicle. Blue’s manager, Wack 100, issued a scathing reaction to the news and offered insight into the shocking incident.
“This Bozo deserves all that she has coming to her !” Wack wrote on social media. “Broke in the house again stole thousands stole the G Waggon as we found out not knowing it was her 1700 miles away got caught. I have no remorse for this BOZO. Now I gotta go get the car out the impound and pay another 5,000 for a transport service to bring it back ! If it was you how would you see it !!! And it looks like she was moving work from the charges ! Smh.”
Then, in 2023, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections shared a wanted flyer online of Rock. It showed she was charged with possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute, as well as a failure to display the tax stamp for said drugs. “The charges are for Fugitive from Justice warrant out of Oklahoma,” a police representative stated in an email to Complex. “If they will be extradited it would all depend on the agency who they have a warrant from. I cannot confirm if and when they will be extradited.”
Rock was officially transferred to Oklahoma earlier this month to face a new fight that could land her years behind bars. Back in March 2024, Rock made it clear that she was aware of her warrant, but she didn’t want to turn herself in. With a baby in tow, the first-time mother had concerns about what would happen to her little boy if she was detained. Wack 100 speculated that Rock would eventually be given a lengthy sentence, but he doesn’t expect her to “do some years.” Wack added, “Either way, we’ll see her before Christmas. We’ll see her before the summer’s up. She’ll be alright … She’s in the same situation Blueface is in.”
A Life Full Of Promise As A Track Star
Before her explosive entrance into the entertainment industry, Chrisean was a star on the field. She attended Southern California’s Santa Monica College, where she was hailed as one of the top track stars on the team. These skills even landed her segments on television shows and news programs, highlighting her accomplishments and potential. Her story resonated with many because of her rough upbringing in Baltimore, where she was one of 12 siblings trying to make their way with a father in prison and a mother who struggled with drug addiction.
According to FOX 45 Baltimore, Chrisean became homeless at just nine years old and found shelter with friends and family. She would rotate through these homes every few days, emphasizing the instability of her childhood. However, she found solace in track, connecting with her friends and coaches who acted as her community. “As a young, Black, beautiful woman, I am a survivor,” Chrisean said in 2020. “Since I didn’t have the childhood I should’ve had, then I can have the future that I deserve.”
Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright, and Alicia Andrews, the three suspects who are facing murder charges for the killing of Foolio, will remain behind bars after a judge denied their attempts at getting out on bond. Prosecutors say the group remains “a danger to the community.” Foolio was shot and killed on June 23 at a hotel parking lot in Tampa, Florida. He had been celebrating his 26th birthday.
“Each of the three defendants played a role in the ambush and brutal murder of Charles Jones,” State Attorney Suzy Lopez said in a statement. “The evidence of this coordinated attack is overwhelming, and our community is safer when they are behind bars. Our prosecutors will continue to build a strong case on the road to a trial that will allow us to bring justice to the victims and their families.”
Chance, Gathright, and Andrews aren’t the only suspects police have arrested in connection to the killing. They also later arrested 30-year-old Rashad Murphy and have a warrant out for 27-year-old Davion Murphy. Authorities have requested that anyone with pertinent information that could help the ongoing investigation come forward. The Tampa Police Department can be reached at 813-231-6130 or Crimestoppers of Tampa Bay at 800-873-TIPS.
Police Make A Fourth Arrest
Overnight, your Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Marshals Service tracked Rashad Murphy, 30, to an apartment complex off Collins Road.
He was wanted for murder in the Tampa shooting death of Charles Jones, also known as Julio Foolio, last month.
Prior to his death, Foolio had been staying at an Airbnb but was asked to leave due to exceeding occupancy limits. Several gunmen ambushed him while he was trying to get a room at a nearby Holiday Inn soon afterward. He had posted several times on social media about being in Tampa. Police previously released security camera footage from the attack that quickly went viral on social media for how detailed and clearly it presented the situation. DJ Akademiks described it as the “clearest Surveillance footage I’ve ever seen” in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Be on the lookout for further updates on Foolio on HotNewHipHop.
