G Herbo Addresses Breach Of Contract Lawsuit From Former Legal Team

by

G Herbo still can’t escape his 2020 federal wire fraud case, as he received a lawsuit from the very firm that represented him in that situation. Moreover, according to court documents reportedly obtained by AllHipHop, Prince Lobel Tye LLP sued him on Tuesday (September 24) for “breach of contract” and “unjust enrichment.” Specifically, they claim that the rapper (real name Herbert Wright III) owes the company over $237K and stopped paying them “roughly two weeks” before his sentence in that wire fraud case. The filing also posits that he accepted their services “with knowledge of Prince Lobel’s reasonable expectation of payment.”

“[G Herbo] has not paid and owes Prince Lobel $237,582.67 for legal work and services performed by the firm on his behalf,” attorneys reportedly stated concerning the Big Swerv MC. “This amount includes interest in the amount of $26,542.85. The last payment made by Mr. Wright was on December 29, 2023. […] It would be unjust for Mr. Wright to enjoy the benefits of Prince Lobel’s services without paying for them. As a result of Mr. Wright’s failure and refusal to pay for the legal work performed by Prince Lobel but accepting the fruits of that work, Mr. Wright has been unjustly enriched, and Prince Lobel has suffered harm.”

G Herbo Sued For Breach Of Contract

Then, on Thursday (September 26), G Herbo gave an exclusive statement to The Shade Room in response to this lawsuit. “I feel like I’m only dealing with this because I’m a celebrity,” he shared. “What they left out is that I’ve already paid them almost $1 million. Yes, I still owe $237,000, and I take accountability for that, even though I feel like they overcharged me because of who I am.

“They also didn’t inform me that the big banks would refuse to bank me regardless of how much I had in the account,” G Herbo continued. “That is just one of the many challenges I’ve faced since the case ended; I’ve needed to change my team and needed time to restructure. Still, I appreciate everything they did for me and hope they have patience while I rebuild my business.” We’ll see what agreement they land on in court.

Diddy’s Attorneys Didn’t Drop Him At Lady Gaga’s Request, Spokesperson Confirms

by

It’s no secret that Diddy’s currently dealing with his fair share of legal woes. Aside from being at the center of a federal sex trafficking investigation, he’s facing various lawsuits and damning allegations from exes and former associates. Over the weekend, it was revealed that his attorneys no longer want any part of it. Reportedly, the mogul was dropped by New York City law firm Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks. News Nation previously claimed to have chatted with an insider, who told the outlet that the decision was made per the request of another one of the firm’s high-profile clients. “Lady Gaga said she was leaving [the firm] if they didn’t drop Diddy. And she’s too big to lose,” the source reportedly said.

Now, however, a spokesperson for the firm has cleared things up with Page Six. According to them, the decision to drop Diddy had nothing to do with Gaga. Instead, they say it was related to the multiple lawsuits he’s currently facing, as well as the disturbing allegations he’s been hit with over the past few months.

“The decision to part ways with Mr. Combs was proactively made by the partners in the firm a number of months ago as they felt it was the right thing to do,” the spokesperson also explained. “The report that the decision was the result of client pressure just isn’t true.”

What do you think of a spokesperson for Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks confirming that Lady Gaga didn’t get Diddy dropped? What about them claiming that it has to do with the various lawsuits and allegations he’s currently facing instead? Are you surprised?

Diddy Allegedly Dropped By Law Firm At Their Client Lady Gaga’s Request

by

A new unconfirmed report from News Nation suggests that the powerful New York City law firm Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks just dropped one of their clients: Diddy. Moreover, the firm reportedly represents many music industry titans, and if this report is true, likely cut ties with him due to his various accusations and lawsuits concerning sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking. However, apparently this decision manifested at the request of another one of GSM&S’ clients, Lady Gaga. “Lady Gaga said she was leaving [the firm] if they didn’t drop Diddy. And she’s too big to lose,” an alleged insider told the publication.

Furthermore, this comes amid other news that the city of Miami has canceled its “Diddy Day.” Back to this specific case, Sean Combs allegedly knows Allen Grubman and was with GSM&S for over two decades. The firm reportedly involved itself in various successful stadium runs and catalog sales over the years with massive industry players like The Weeknd, Lil Nas X, and more. At press time, neither the Bad Boy mogul’s team nor representatives from the firm have publicly responded to these claims.

Diddy Reportedly Dropped By Law Firm

While Diddy wiped much of his online presence amid all this, folks like Stephen A. Smith and many others took issue with him deleting his prompt, albeit still criticized, apology to Cassie for abusing her. “If you had a million photos and you decided to delete 999,999 of them, that’s the one you should’ve kept up,” he began his remarks on the June 25 episode of his podcast. If you’re sincere. You got 20 million followers on Instagram. Why did you delete that video of the apology?

“Don’t you want people to know that you were contrite?” Smith continued about Diddy. “By deleting the video, you throw all of that out the window. The possibility of the very few people who would ever believe that. Who are your PR people? Who are these people? Where is the advice? I’d have said, ‘Never delete your account and never delete that video.’ Leave that up forever. Because that was you apologizing. And owning up to your transgression. You deleting it from your account… that wasn’t smart. It comes across as you wanting to erase everything as opposed to you wanting to be accountable for everything.”

Post Malone Accused Of “Physical Abuse” Of Ex-Girlfriend By Lawyers Who Claim To Have Proof

by

Post Malone has been accused of being “physically abusive” to his ex-girlfriend, Ashlen Diaz, by the law firm, Martorell Law, which claims to have photos and text messages proving as such. They shared the claim in court, this week, while suing Malone.

Diaz initially hired the law firm after splitting from Malone back in 2018 while seeking palimony in the breakup. As a part of her deal with Martorell Law, Diaz agreed to pay the firm a percentage of any settlement reached with the rapper. However, the firm claims Malone convinced Diaz to drop them and instead work out a private deal with him. He later paid her $350k to settle the situation.

In response to Martorell Law’s complaint, Malone argued that he had no control over Diaz and asked the lawsuit to be dismissed. The law firm argues Malone did have control over Diaz, as he allegedly physically abused her during the relationship. “Defendant Diaz, unfortunately, gave in to such duress (as victims often do), to her own detriment, separating her from legal representation she desperately needed,” the firm’s motion reads. “Rather than face accountability, however, Defendant Post downplays his control over his ex-girlfriend, attempting to portray this action and twist this clearly wrongful behavior as somehow akin to a party trying to stifle competition.”

The motion continues: “Put simply, coercion and pressure of one’s romantic partner combined with physical and emotional abuse in violation of the Penal Code, in an effort to deprive that person of competent legal counsel and with the knowledge that the actor is also depriving legal counsel of its attorneys’ fee, constitutes an independent wrongful act.” Malone has yet to comment on the claims. Be on the lookout for further updates on the case on HotNewHipHop.

Kanye West Finally Dropped By Lawyers

by

An NYC law firm successfully served Kanye West documents to drop him as a client after he spent months M.I.A.. Moreover, AllHipHop reported that Greenberg Traurig, LLP successfully cut ties with Ye as of Wednesday (February 1). The firm requested to officialize this process as early as at least November 30. In this new filing, attorney Nina D. Boyajian said they finally presented the documents thanks to some help from the Chicago rapper’s new attorney. Previously, Traurig took out two newspaper ads in California to publicly renounce their relationship and association with Kanye.

“On January 18, 2023, an attorney based in California contacted my firm advising that he would be representing ‘Ye on some of his legal matters,’” she wrote in the court documents. “During the course of several emails and a phone call with this attorney, I requested that he coordinate personal service of the Order on Ye.” Furthermore, Boyajian continued, “On February 1, 2023, the attorney referenced above emailed me the executed Certificate of Service attached hereto as Exhibit A. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.”

Moreover, they claimed last month that they were unable to locate Kanye to officially sever their ties. In fact, they even requested the courts to recognize a public announcement in the Los Angeles area as sufficient notice. Still, they intended their newspaper ads to contribute to a “multi-prong approach” to get him to notice, and apparently it worked. “Publication of the Withdrawal Order’s contents in two Los Angeles-area newspapers, where Ye appears to reside, will also apprise him of the Withdrawal Order,” the filing read.

However, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres denied requests to make the separation official. Moreover, she expressed doubt in Greenberg Traurig exhausting all their efforts to contact the rapper directly. The law firm represented Ye in a case against Ultra International Music Publishing over an uncleared Donda 2 sample. Said case stems from a June complaint to a U.S. District Court in New York. It claimed that “Flowers” by Kanye sampled Marshall Jefferson’s 1986 Chicago house classic “Move Your Body” without proper compensation. With or without a legal team, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Kanye West.
