Diddy Allegations: G Dep Argues Bad Boy Mogul Deserves “Benefit Of The Doubt”

by

G Dep, a former Bad Boy Records artist, recently spoke about the allegations plaguing Diddy and argued he deserves the “benefit of the doubt.” Speaking with Fox 5 New York about the topic, he also pleaded with the industry veteran to help him out as he’s gotten hundreds of songs in the vault following his prison release.

“I’m like, when? When did that happen?” he asked the outlet. “We were in the studio for months on end. I don’t know where this is coming from.” From there, he called for Diddy’s help. “Got a lot of songs, bruh,” he said. “I’m looking for you so we can get, you know, some type of musical situation going.”

G Dep isn’t the first associate of Diddy’s to speak out in his defense. Stevie J recently denied all the claims against him during an interview with TMZ. “I’ve never seen my man doing anything foul like they talking about,” Stevie told the outlet. “I’ve never seen it, I’ve known him for 29 years.” The drama for Diddy began when Cassie sued him for sexual abuse and more back in November. Although they quickly settled, a number of other alleged victims came forward in the months since. Finally, Homeland Security agents raided his properties in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation, last month. Check out G Dep’s full comments on the matter below.

Stevie J Goes After 50 Cent Following Continued Diddy Trolling, Calls Him “Uncle Tom”

by

Stevie J called out 50 Cent at length during a new interview with TMZ regarding the allegations made against his longtime friend, Diddy. The conversation began with him coming to Diddy’s defense and saying he hasn’t witnessed any of the behavior that’s been accused in various lawsuits in recent months.

“I’ve never seen my man doing anything foul like they talking about,” Stevie told the outlet. “I’ve never seen it, I’ve known him for 29 years.” From there, he brought up 50 Cent continuously trolling Diddy over the situation. “Uncle Tom cats like that. Now you wanna put me– I don’t know if y’all saw the post 50 posted about me. Of course you guys saw that,” he said. “You can’t brush under the rug– I don’t see anybody reporting about what Tatted Up Holly said about him beating her up and about these other baby mommas, beating her up. I just look at it as, he wants to bring the Black community down worse than anyone else.” He then brought up his previous offer to fight 50 for charity.

by

Things continue to ramp up in all of the wrong ways for Diddy. Everyday there is a new story, a different angle on a past headline, or new people speaking out against him. However, out all of the recent developing stories, the home raids were perhaps what caught most people’s attention. His Los Angeles and Miami homes were ransacked by Homeland Security Investigation teams, and it led many wondering how Diddy was not retained during them. But it seems that it will take more and more witnesses coming forward to place the mogul in court. Gene Deal, a former bodyguard for Diddy, can be added to the list of people willing to testify.

According to AllHipHop, Deal expressed his feelings about everything surrounding the rapper and businessman in an interview with The Art Of Dialogue. People have been reaching out to Gene in every way, saying that he is trying to purposefully drag Diddy’s name through the mud. However, he feels he has more than enough proof to make a compelling case. “I get all kinds of hate mail, IG’s, talking about that I am trying to take a Black man down. No, I went through every step you are supposed to go through when you got an issue with a man,” Gene explained.

Gene Deal Does Not Feel Bad For Diddy

“By him doing the things he did, and taking the avenue he took, he’s suffering the consequences, and I don’t feel bad at all.” Gene also feels that when “Money, Power & Respect” by The LOX, DMX, and Lil’ Kim came out, he thinks Diddy had that message of the song “a** backwards.” “You got your respect in the street, that gave you your power, that brought you your money… Do I care what happens? Got enough money to buy his way out of it… so we think.” He even believes that the rapper could commit su*cide in prison because he is a “narcissist.”

Appearing on Boss Talk 101, the actor recalled connecting Diddy with his acting coach and explained how their relationship grew from there.

He said, ‘Hey man, we didn’t see you at the BET Awards. What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m in bed with my wife.’” He then claimed Diddy told him he was alone at a hotel in Beverly Hills.

The latest lawsuit against Diddy comes from Rodney Jones, who accused him of sexual assault. In a statement for TMZ, Diddy’s attorney, Shawn Holley, explained: “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines. We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Columbus Short and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Hitmaka Labels Diddy “Diabolical” & Claims He Tried To Sabotage His Career

by

Hitmaka says Diddy has tried to sabotage his career at multiple points over the years and labeled the Bad Boy mogul “diabolical.” He spoke about his working relationship with Diddy during a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast. He began by explaining that Diddy initially asked him to contribute to The Love Album: Off the Grid.

“Puff hit me, he like, ‘Yo, I’m doing an R&B album, I need you, you the guy. It’s gonna be London on Da Track, you and me and I think we should do everything together. Send me some joints,’” he recalled. “I send him a 10 clip, crazy sh*t. He hit me back like, ‘I want that [Yung] Berg sh*t, stop trying to be me. It sound like you trying to do what I do, n***a. Send me some different sh*t.’ So I didn’t send him nothing. I was like, ‘F*ck it.’ Next thing I know, the n***a deciphered my records and reached out to everybody I collaborated with and dissected me from the situation. So he called Cardiak to his house like, ‘You need to be one of The Hitmen.’ Next thing, Eric Bellinger is in the Bahamas with muthaf*ckin’ Puff and they’re singing songs together.”

Dame Dash Faces Another Massive Lawsuit From Photographer

by

Dame Dash is facing another lawsuit, this time from photographer Monique Bunn, who claims he cost her nearly $400 million. Bunn argues that her previously heard case against the Roc-A-Fella executive should be reopened because the jury didn’t fully understand the extent of the damages. In a new filing, she argues that the trial proved her photos to be worth $1,500 each and in turn, she wants compensation.

“The evidence at trial – which was uncontroverted – established that each photo was worth $1,500, which should have resulted in a verdict for at least $384,750,000,” Bunn wrote in a memorandum of law, as noted by HipHopDX. “It is well known that professional photographers earn much of their income through licensing their portfolio of photographs, and Defendants’ actions destroyed Ms. Bunn’s economic prospects. The jury ignored the valuation evidence and awarded zero to Ms. Bunn.”

She continued: “It is impossible to conceive how a jury could conclude that a professional photographer’s portfolio of thousands of photos, as well as photography equipment, could be worth zero. Especially when the Plaintiff and the Defendants both testify that the damages are in the millions. A new trial is warranted under these circumstances.”

Bunn previously sued Dash back in 2019. At the time, she claimed he inappropriately touched her while she was sleeping at his house during a video project. More recently, Dash was ordered to sell his remaining shares in Roc-A-Fella to cover debts from a 2022 civil case. A film producer sued him for copyright infringement at the time. Be on the lookout for further updates on Dame Dash on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy Scenes Reportedly Removed From Yung Miami’s Reality Show Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

by

For those who don’t know, Diddy has been hit with an array of lawsuits in recent months, which contain accusations of sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse, and more. It all started when his ex Cassie sued him in November, making countless damning allegations against the Bad Boy Records founder. Amid the fallout, Diddy has stepped down as chairman of Revolt, left the Grammys “evaluating” their decision to invite him to the 2024 ceremony, and more.

These aren’t the only consequences Diddy appears to be facing as a result of the suits, however. Recently, it was also reported that he’s been cut out of scenes from Yung Miami’s upcoming reality show. These reports follow some serious backlash she’s received amid his lawsuits.

Dame Dash Claims He’s “Retaking” Roc-A-Fella Amid JAY-Z Dispute

by

Dame Dash says that he will be regaining control of Roc-A-Fella Records after his co-founders, JAY-Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, ousted him from the label. He discussed his status with the company during an interview with The GAUDS Show, last week.

“I’m taking back Roc-A-Fella; I don’t need no paperwork,” he said. “Roc-A-Fella never dies. It’s not dead; I just fuckin’ took a vacation. I’m the CEO of Roc-A-Fella Inc. and JAY-Z knows it, and so does Biggs. Not Roc-A-Fella LLC — we sold that; Roc-A-Fella Inc. — I’m still the CEO.”

JAY-Z and Biggs previously sued Dame after he allegedly attempted to sell Hov’s 1996 debut, Reasonable Doubt, on an NFT auction. The two sides eventually reached a settlement and agreed no shareholder holds a direct ownership interest in the album. “They took me to court saying I tried to sell all their interests, knowing I didn’t,” he explained. “I was only trying to sell mine, but they did that to fuck my sale up […] We don’t go to court. You call me, and then you wanna lie on me? That was last year. I’m bothered about it.”

Dame has maintained that he’s willing to talk with JAY-Z in person, but claims the business mogul won’t meet with him. Speaking on The CEO Show in October, he said: “I always said as a man that we could always talk it up. Men should always be able to talk things up, but I’m really happy with my life right now. I know the world would love to see it and I’m down for it. If we could create something that inspires me, period. I don’t want to be f**king running on the stage dancing around.

Boosie Badazz Shares Hot Take On Cassie’s Diddy Lawsuit

by

Boosie Badazz weighed in on Cassie’s recent sexual abuse lawsuit against Diddy during an interview with VladTV. In doing so, he explained that he feels the singer was either “traumatized” or “loved every minute of it.”

“Either she was traumatized by what she been through. Either she was traumatized and she was sick and hurt, or she loved every minute of it,” he said. “It’s either, or. No, it ain’t both. It’s either, or because if you said he done what all he allegedly did, then you traumatized in one way. But it also can be a way– I know women who– I had a woman tell me, ‘I want you to come look for me and grab me out the club.’ I’m saying that to say she could’ve loved every minute of it.”

Cassie filed her lawsuit against Diddy back in November, accusing him of various allegations including rape. The two reached a settlement just a day later.

The Bad Boy mogul finally spoke out, earlier this month. “Enough is enough,” Diddy wrote on Instagram. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”

Diddy Secures New Legal Representation Amid Sexual Assault Lawsuits

by

Last month, Diddy’s ex Cassie filed a lawsuit against the Bad Boy Records founder, accusing him of rape, physical and emotional abuse, and more. The two of them settled shortly after she filed, but her suit was followed by three similar ones. Diddy has since denied the allegations.

Now, it appears as though the mogul is gearing up for a serious legal battle, enlisting the help of some prominent attorneys. According to AllHipHop‘s Kyle Eustice, Diddy now has Jonathan D. Davis, Alyssa M. Pronley, and Anthony C. LoMonaco on retainer. The outlet reports that they’ll represent him in his cases against former Syracuse University student Joi Dickerson-Neal and against an anonymous woman. Dickerson-Neal accuses him of sexually assaulting her in 1991 while the anonymous woman accuses him and Harve Pierre of gang-raping her when she was 17.

Following news of his fourth sexual assault lawsuit, Diddy took to social media to once again deny the allegations. “Enough is enough,” his message began. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.

In light of the suits, at least 18 different brands have reportedly cut ties with Diddy. It was also recently revealed that he had a Hulu show in the works, Diddy+7, which has now been scrapped. He’s additionally in the running for a Grammy, but it’s unclear whether he’ll be invited to the awards ceremony. “We are taking this matter very seriously and we are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care that it deserves,” the Recording Academy announced this week.
