Boosie Badazz Shares Hot Take On Cassie’s Diddy Lawsuit

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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. However, in the following weeks, several more alleged victims came forward with stories of abuse from Diddy. 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

December 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

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. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be 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.”

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. What do you think of Diddy securing his legal team amid his sexual assault lawsuits? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

December 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent took aim at Diddy yet again on Instagram, earlier this week. This time around, 50 shared a throwback video of Mase dissing the disgraced Bad Boy mogul. In the caption, he added: “Who said MA$E don’t get busy man you gotta listen.”

As for Mase’s freestyle, he performed it in March 2022 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. “Empty pipes when cliques get called/ And go to church on Sunday, I’m the illest of all/ Don’t ever put Mase with other Bad Boys who had hardships/ You know I get it jumping like a mosh pit, n***a/ On the verse level, dirt level/ I can never work level,” Mase raps. “N****s mad I made it to the ‘I would never work’ level/ Since Cain killed Abel, I’m able to kill Cain/ And Love don’t steal, my n***a, change your name/ I see no integrity in your name, and I’m haunted by the Ghost of St. James.”

Diddy & Harve Pierre Want Jane Doe To Lose Anonymity In Gang Rape Lawsuit: Report

December 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy and Harve Pierre reportedly want the Jane Doe accusing them of gang rape to lose her anonymity. While the defendants already know who she is, they want her identity to be a matter of public record. The alleged victim’s lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor, argues that the high-profile nature of the case, in conjunction with the fact she was underage at the time of the alleged assault, should give her grounds to keep her identity private.

“On December 9, 2023, counsel for [Diddy and Harve Pierre] indicated that they do not consent to [Jane Doe’s] motion to proceed anonymously,” Wigdor explained, as noted by AllHipHop. “Because of the high-profile nature of the Defendants, compounded with the fact that [Jane Doe] was only seventeen years old at the time of the sexual assault alleged in the Complaint, she should be permitted to proceed under a pseudonym and pursue her claims with anonymity. The media attention of this action would undoubtedly create a chilling effect on future plaintiffs in similar circumstances should Ms. Doe be forced to disclose her identity.”

He added: “[Jane Doe] has experienced significant trauma as a result of Defendants’ sexual assault and rape and would certainly experience significant harm if she is forced to reveal her identity to the public.” The woman is the fourth person to come forward with accusations against Diddy in recent weeks. The lawsuits began with Cassie in November, although she and Diddy settled a day later.

Diddy finally broke his silence on the lawsuits, earlier this month. Taking to Instagram, he wrote: “Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.” From there, he labeled the allegations “sickening” and accused the victims of looking for a “quick payday.” He added: “I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.” Be on the lookout for further updates on the lawsuits against Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy Loses Ties With 18 Brands Amid Sexual Abuse Allegations

December 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy has lost the support of at least 18 brands associated with his e-commerce platform Empower Global, according to a new report from Rolling Stone. The fallout comes as a result of Cassie and now a total of three other women accusing him of sexual assault. While the Bad Boy mogul has denied the allegations, he’s still suffering a massive fall from grace.

House of Takura Founder Annette Njau explained her decision to cut ties with Diddy in a statement provided to Rolling Stone. “This decision was made on the day that Casandra Ventura filed her lawsuit,” Njau told the publication. “We take the allegations against Mr. Combs very seriously and find such behavior abhorrent and intolerable. We believe in victims’ rights, and support victims in speaking their truth, even against the most powerful of people.”

Ashli Goudelock, founder of the luxury skin-care brand, Tsuri, said: “As a women-owned and-led company, we do not and will not linger in a gray area about the mistreatment of women.” Despite the lost partnerships, a total of nine brands appear to be sticking with Diddy through the storm. One owner from that group told Rolling Stone: “Please leave that man alone.”

Harve Pierre, Codefendant, Calls Diddy Lawsuits “Disgusting” & “Desperate”

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy isn’t the only one facing harrowing accusations in the multiple sexual assault lawsuits filed against him. Moreover, some of these alleged victims also accused other members of his entourage or the Bad Boy crew of similar crimes, including the label’s former president Harve Pierre. For those unaware, one lawsuit claims that he enticed a Detroit minor to board their private jet in 2003 to hang out with him and Sean Combs, and that they flew to New York City for a recording session. There, a Jane Doe alleges, various men sexually assaulted her in the bathroom of the recording studio.

Furthermore, the lawsuit also claims that Pierre did nothing to stop this situation despite its gruesome nature. Rather, Diddy’s associate allegedly smoked crack cocaine out of a Pepsi can while it happened, and thus, he appears in the latest lawsuit as a codefendant for gang sexual assault. Now, according to a statement reportedly obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Harve Pierre has finally come out and addressed the claims against him and Puff Daddy. Unsurprisingly, it took on a similarly dismissive, staunch, and indignant stance as the label boss’ own public response.

“This is a tale of fiction,” Harve Pierre reportedly stated, according to the media outlet. “I have never participated in, witnessed, nor heard of anything like this, ever. These disgusting allegations are false and a desperate attempt for financial gain. I will vigorously protect my reputation and defend my name. Those who know me recognize that these claims are not true.” Meanwhile, Diddy’s response came from his social media pages. It followed at least a couple of weeks of silence apart from media statements from representatives or legal affiliates.

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” he wrote on his online accounts, pasting white words on a black screen. “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 be 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.” Regardless, for more news and the latest updates on Harve Pierre and Diddy, check back in with HNHH.

Diddy’s Sexual Assault Lawsuits Causing “Logistical Nightmare” For Grammys: Report

December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s ongoing sexual assault lawsuits are reportedly causing a “logistical nightmare” for the Grammys as the Recording Academy prepares for its 66th Annual Awards ceremony. The UK publication, Mirror, cites several officials within the Academy to report that the organization is trying to remove Diddy from the guest list. Additionally, numerous celebrities are requesting that they sit nowhere near him.

“The formal invitations go out this month. There’s conflict at the academy as several voting members do not think it would be appropriate to invite Diddy,” the report suggests. “Some, including several high profile African-American members, fear that inviting him sends the wrong message to audiences and the charities it supports. Several publicists have asked that their artists aren’t seated by him. It’s a logistical nightmare.”

Diddy & Cassie At The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Cassie was the first woman to file a lawsuit against Diddy, last month, accusing him of sexual abuse. While the two reached a settlement within 24 hours, two more accusers came forward with allegations against Diddy soon afterward.

Diddy has denied all of the allegations against him. In a statement provided to HipHopDX, a spokesperson for the Bad Boy mogul said: “These are fabricated claims falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit. The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited by scammers. The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these bogus allegations.” Be on the lookout for further updates on the fallout from Diddy’s sexual assault lawsuits on HotNewHipHop.

50 Cent Thinks Diddy’s Going To Be “Fine” Regardless Of Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

December 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is a bit on the fence with Diddy’s sexual assault accusations and the multiple lawsuits he faces. On one hand, he’s relentlessly trolled him over it for the past few weeks, with a new jab, shot, or joke thrown every other day on social media. On the other, though, Fif thinks that Sean Combs is going to be able to move past this in the future. Actually, maybe that’s not a fair assessment: at least he will have enough money to not lose his status and lifestyle outright. That’s what the G-Unit mogul suggested on Instagram on Sunday (December 3) to his many followers.

“After Sexual Assault Suits, Are Sean Combs’s Empire and Brand at Risk?” a New York Times headline read. Moreover, 50 Cent reposted this on his IG page and answered the publication’s question quite bluntly. “No,” he replied. “He will be fine, He has so much money. When his corporate partners pull out, he will just reach in his pockets and make it happen. You saw how fast he paid Cassie. He’s a real Billionaire he has f**k you money guys, So f**k you ! @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi @thefinallaptour Diddy Do It ? COMING SOON !”

50 Cent Doesn’t Think This Is The End Of Diddy’s Success

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

For those unaware, the biggest example of 50 Cent’s shots at Diddy amid controversies about his alleged abhorrent behavior was that he might be producing a documentary on the whole scandal. When reacting to news coverage of this possibility, though, he made his status very clear. “RAPPER?” the “Many Men” MC wrote. “I thought Diddy was a Billionaire music mogul. If he’s smart he will file bankruptcy now. Anyone with real money knows why I’m saying this. I’m the best producer for the job guys. Here come the receipts.”

Meanwhile, these allegations against Puff Daddy also caused people to consider more spiritual explanations. For example, many folks pointed to his tattoo of Haitian spirit Ezili Dantor as a sign that he faced punishment for his misdeeds. This is still a very nasty situation to talk about, despite people like 50 Cent toeing the line between dismissal and continued criticism.

In his latest post referencing Diddy, 50 remarked that he has “fuck you” money while reacting to a New York Times piece about his business empire. The headline for the article asks, “After Sexual Assault Suits, Are Sean Combs’s Empire and Brand at Risk?”

“No he will be fine,” 50 wrote. “He has so much money, when his corporate partners pull out. he will just reach in his pockets and make it happen. You saw how fast he paid Cassie. He’s a real Billionaire he has fuck you money guys, So fuck you! @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi @thefinallaptour Diddy Do It? COMING SOON!”

In response to the post, many of 50’s followed noted that the rivalry is deeper than it appears. “If you would’ve told me 15 years ago that we’d witness the rise of 50 cent as a mogul and the end of Diddy, I would’ve looked at you like,” one user wrote. Another commented: “Y’all must ain’t read @50cent book, because once I read it I understand how he moves and admire it!

Boosie Badazz Addresses Lawsuit Backlash, Claims People Don’t Call 50 Cent A “Snitch” For Suing

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie has taken aim at the people calling him a “snitch” for suing multiple rappers in recent weeks. “To those people calling me a snitch for suing…They the same people that want you to go to shoot somebody behind this. They would rather you go shoot somebody instead of sue somebody. Cuz they wanna holler ‘Free Boosie’ so they get likes. It’s called ‘tricking you off the streets’. I woke up to my DM the other day like ‘Boosie you fake now man. You supposed to shoot that [expletive][expletive] up’,” Boosie said on a recent livestream.

Furthermore, Boosie argued that people don’t make the same comments about 50 Cent. “When people do the sh-t to 50 Cent and 50 sue they a–, do y’all call him a snitch for suing? Or do y’all laugh and applaud it?” Boosie asked. The most recent target of Boosie’s legal ire was Rod Wave. According to Boosie, Wave used a sample without permission. “That n-gga Rod Wave ain’t pull up on me. I don’t own the song fully, I own a percentage of it. I still have publishing in it and writer’s credits. So, I guess when he found out that, he don’t want to give me nothing. We going to court. Nobody contacted me. Nobody gave me my publishing. Nobody gave me my writer’s credit. How you clear it, when you ain’t clear it with me?” Boosie explained in a recent livestream.

Boosie Reveals Pre-Lawsuit Offer For Rod Wave

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

Meanwhile, Boosie also revealed the offer he had made to Wave to avoid a lawsuit. According to Boosie, he asked for $200K and 25% of the track’s onward profits. Furthermore, Boosie implied that Wave had submitted a counteroffer and explained that he hadn’t cleared the sample with his own label, let alone Boosie’s team. It remains unclear if Boosie is going ahead with his lawsuit as a result.

However, Boosie isn’t the only one handing out lawsuits. In a recent stream, Boosie revealed that he was the subject of two lawsuits. The first was a wrongful death suit over an incident that occurred near a 2017 music video shoot. The second suit stems from a brawl that broke out during a Legendz Of The Street Tour performance in Atlanta in 2021. Boosie has expressed his frustration with both suits, arguing that they don’t make sense as he wasn’t directly involved in either of them. Despite this, both suits have been filed and are thus a developing story.
