Nicki Minaj took a trip down memory lane this week when she recalled the time she was Justin Combs’ date to his sweet 16. The Queens rapper recently touched base with fans during an Instagram Live session when Combs’ popped into the comment section and the two reminisced over her appearance at his birthday party. However, it turns out that she actually left Diddy and Misa Hylton – Justin’s mom – upset due to her tardiness to the event itself.
“I know I was mad late and I can’t remember much but I felt like, I just knew Puffy and Misa was so mad at me,” she recalled. Although neither Diddy or Misa Hylton expressed their frustrations with Nicki, she explained that she caught that vibe from them. She explained that the reason she was late was because of her wardrobe choices. “I could feel it and I was so mad at myself ’cause all of the dresses that I had been trying on that day, I hated every single one. And I just felt horrible y’all, I felt really horrible,” she said.
The event panned out nonetheless but it seems as though Justin tried to seize the opportunity of having one of the most sought-after women in the industry taking him to his birthday party. “But I can’t believe to this day that I went with him for his Sweet Sixteen. He said it was a movie. And I remember he was trying to get cute in the limo, y’all. And I was like, ‘Who is you talking to boy?!’”
Overall, Nicki Minaj said that she enjoyed herself. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder if Justin Combs’ girlfriend at the time felt some type of way about her presence. “But yes, I had a great time and he was so fun and funny. And very cute too. I wonder who was his girlfriend at that time ’cause I know she probably was really mad. Why he ain’t take her for his Sweet Sixteen? That’s a memorable time,” she added.

Last month Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Misa Hylton’s 29-year-old Justin Combs, was arrested in Beverly Hills on DUI charges. Misa posted a series of angry posts following his arrest subliminally mentioning Diddy. She wrote, “How do you go from the greatest to ever do it to, to making all your money off of alcohol and suing the damn alcohol company.” Now Justin is facing two misdemeanor charges for drinking and driving. Radar Online reports:
According to court records, on June 27, a criminal case was filed against Justin Combs. He was hit with 2 misdemeanor charges for driving under the influence and for having a blood alcohol content (BAC) higher than 0.08% or more.
A pretrial hearing date has been set for August 10.
Consequently, Combs’ mother Misa Hylton took to Instagram to put Diddy on blast. “I’m not protecting no one anymore, just my son. The statement ‘a fish rots from the head down’ means that, in addition to being a major contributing factor in a family or organization’s success, leadership is also the root cause of its failure and demise. The Truth shall set you free. Act BAD BAD boy I used to want to be a BAD Girl I chose to be a QUEEN Tried and true. I’m not perfect but I am INTENTIONAL,” as well as, “I should have kept my child with me. Fuck UCLA too. Everybody can get it. How you go from one of the greatest to ever do it To making all your money off alcohol And suing the damn alcohol company. Sell something healthy that builds people up. I’m sick of it!!!! NOT MINES.”
On June 9, Diddy posted an ad for DeLeón Tequila on Instagram. “Fuck everybody,” the rapper begins. “You know? Sometimes you have to say ‘fuck everybody’. It’s alright. Fuck it Friday, let’s go.” According to several gossip pages, such as The Shade Room and The Neighborhood Talk, Hylton commented “YUP that’s how I feel everyday.” However, Hylton’s comment is not immediately seen on Diddy’s post at the time of writing, implying that she may have since deleted it. Additionally, according to the screenshots from TSR and TNT, Diddy then replied to the comment. “I love you queen. Stay in the light,” the rapper said.
Furthermore, this was Diddy’s first and only response to Hylton’s comments about their son’s DUI. However, as previously mentioned, the interaction appears to have been deleted since being screenshotted and reported elsewhere. This is a developing story and you’ll be sure to find any updates here on HotNewHipHop.
Misa Hylton has always existed in the background of hip-hop. Many of the iconic outfits of Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, and Lil Kim are direct products of Hylton. Misa Hylton was initially ushered into the creative space by Diddy. In addition, she’s played an instrumental role in redefining feminine appearance throughout the hip-hop industry. However, this isn’t to say that she didn’t earn her success the hard way. Garnering her first gig at 17 years old, she faced marginalization as a hip-hop stylist amongst her fellow fashion peers.
While still in high school, she was the girlfriend of star intern Diddy, or Sean Combs. The fashion icon recently faced controversy surrounding her and Diddy’s son’s recent arrest. Although the two are no longer in a relationship, police arrested and charged Justin, 29, with a DUI over the past weekend. Misa Hylton vented out her thoughts on the controversy in a since-deleted slew of Instagram stories aimed at Diddy. Regarding his parenting, she wrote, “This is where the buck stops” for her “after sitting around for years and acting like there isn’t anything wrong with you.”

In addition to Justin Combs, Misa Hylton also has two kids with ex-husband and music executive Jojo Brim. Madison Star Brim is following in the footsteps of Hylton in the fashion industry. After graduating from Howard University, the 23-year-old began her own fashion brand in the form of Madison Star Couture. Their son, Niko Brim is also pursuing a creative career. However, he’s opted to go the hip-hop path, seeing a moderate level of success with tracks such as “FEDS WATCHING” eclipsing a million streams on Spotify.
However, when it comes to her son Justin, Misa Hilton went after Diddy and his business ventures in the alcoholic beverage space. His Ciroc and DeLeon brands have been one of his primary sources of income over the past decade. Still, the mother of his 29-year-old son felt that this was a step backward in his illustrious career. Hylton wrote, “How do you go from one of the greatest to ever do it to making all your money off alcohol and suing the damn alcohol company. Sell something healthy that builds people up. I’m sick of it!!!!! NOT MINES.” Reps of Diddy haven’t yet responded to Hylton’s myriad of accusations and statements.

The visual imagery accompanying the music has always been a huge aspect of success for an artist’s career, especially in hip-hop. The appearance behind the conceptual goal of the sound is crucial. Misa Hylton has helped bring that to the forefront throughout her multi-decade fashion and design career. More specifically, Hylton has played a hallmark role in popularizing female hip-hop and their iconic looks. However, her early focus on both men and women in R&B certainly shifted how the perception of these artists.
From styling Mary J Blige to Jodeci, the image behind the music has always been a huge aspect of a creative’s success. Expanding on her process of the styling of R&B quartet Jodeci, she told Billboard, “At that time, the look for R&B singers were hard bottom shoes and suits, but we had what was then considered a crazy idea: to put these singers in leather, combat boots, hoodies and baseball caps that were turned backward.” The transformation skyrocketed the image of Jodeci.
Hylton also faced droves of discrimination, specifically before she had garnered her respect in the hip-hop industry. She was a pioneer, dressing her female creatives in a manner that often went against the traditional look that record labels and creative directors were enforcing. From dressing Lil Kim in a wig and baggy clothes to the lavish look of Mary J Blige, she heard plenty of no’s during her early career. However, the lack of boundaries surrounding female outfits today can in part be attributed to Hylton. For her, it wasn’t just about commercially her artist in a traditional manner. The fashion mirrored her desire to create an image to complement the artists’ sound.

Hylton’s career remains as prevalent as ever in the fashion space She owns her own styling company in the form of Misa Hylton Fashion Academy (MHFA). She expanded on the program’s initiative with Billboard. She stated, “An exciting career as a ‘stylist’ is available these days, but no one is really preparing and passing down the knowledge and skill set needed to turn this opportunity into a reality.” In addition, the documentary The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion captures Hylton’s influence in encouraging female creatives to express their femininity in the hip-hop space. A Global Creative Partner for luxury fashion brand MCM, she’s currently styling modern-day artists such as Megan Thee Stallion and Flo Milli.

In more posts, she wrote: “Act BAD BAD boy I used to want to be a BAD Girl I chose to be a QUEEN Tried and true. I’m not perfect but I am INTENTIONAL,” as well as, “I should have kept my child with me. Fuck UCLA too. Everybody can get it.” Combs played college football at UCLA and graduated from the university in 2016. Hylton continued: “How you go from one of the greatest to ever do it To making all your money off alcohol And suing the damn alcohol company. Sell something healthy that builds people up. I’m sick of it!!!! NOT MINES.” Combs has been working in film and television and recently appeared in Power Book II: Ghost. He also has producer credits on multiple TV shows.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that they arrested Justin Combs for driving under the influence on Sunday morning. TMZ later published photos of the arrest, in which Combs speaks with a police officer. Combs’ bond was set at $5,000. “He was put through a sobriety test that he failed,” The LAPD further told ET.
She’s laying some rumors to rest, and people believe Lori Harvey is addressing gossip about Diddy. In the summer of 2019, Diddy and Harvey emerged with their unlikely romance. The pair didn’t speak about their union, but they were photographed jet-setting from one end of the world to another. Paparazzi were on their heels at every turn, prompting social media to erupt about Harvey’s alleged dating past.
It was speculated that before her relationship with Diddy, Harvey also dated the Bad Boy mogul’s son, Justin Combs. In a new interview with Adrienne Houghton for E! News, the socialite seemingly addresses the rumors.
In a clip of the conversation, Houghton mentioned Steve Harvey. Houghton wanted to know the “one piece of advice” the model’s famous stepfather has given her “that really has stuck.”
“Just remember that you’re the prize, always,” Harvey answered. “That’s like, his golden slogan for me.” Houghton questioned what that meant for Harvey.
“It just means not like, compromising my values, my happiness, my peace,” she said. “Not settling for less than what I know I deserve. And not being afraid to walk away from a situation if it’s no longer serving me.”

When asked about the biggest misconception, Harvey didn’t hesitate with her response.
“It’s so funny, because I’m so quiet, there’s been so many stories that have been made up about me,” she stated. “I’ve seen stories about me being fully in love with somebody and you have like, this whole relationship. And I’ll see the guy and I’m like, I’ve actually never met him before.”
“Like, full-blown stories I’ve heard, I’ve dated a father and son before. Absolutely not true,” she continued. “I’ve even heard that I’m a lesbian at one point. So, you know, there’s been a lot of different things. A lot of stories, lot of misconceptions. I think they’re hilarious. I love the stories.”

Meanwhile, the most recent gossip about the model’s dating life involves Snowfall actor Damson Idris. Prior to their rumored romance, Harvey and Black Panther icon Michael B. Jordan split in 2022 after a year of dating. She has also been tied to rapper Future.
