50 Cent Continues Trolling Diddy Over Sexual Assault Lawsuits

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent continued to troll Diddy on Instagram with another post referencing the Bad Boy mogul’s series of lawsuits on Monday. In doing so, he shared a clip from Screamfest ’07, in which he shakes his head in disapproval on stage as T.I. addresses Diddy and JAY-Z. In the caption, 50 jokes that he’s never been a fan of Diddy.

“20 machine guns, only get 10 months, Diddy in the Back, pattin on n***as butts,” 50 Cent wrote. “Nah I ain’t wit it, I ain’t never been wit it. Barz LOL.” Fans shared plenty of laughs in the comments section. One user wrote: “This man 50 is relentless! I would hate to be his enemy.”

The lawsuits against Diddy began with Cassie, who filed her’s against him, earlier this month, alleging physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. The two agreed on a settlement less than 24 hours later. Despite Diddy ending that legal action, two more victims have come forward with lawsuits of their own. His spokesperson denied both allegations in a statement provided to HipHopDX. They wrote: “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.”

Yung Miami Fans Express More Concern For Her Amid More Diddy Allegations

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Amid a wave of further sexual assault accusations against Diddy, more fans than ever are expressing concern for Yung Miami. For those unaware, they had an on-and-off-again fling that’s never explicitly been labeled or official, but that had them spending a lot of time together. Now that his alleged behavior is the subject of multiple lawsuits, people are wondering whether she suffered any of these claims. Not only that, but fans found it hard to speak on this given that the City Girl has been pretty silent on the matter so far for understandable reasons. Still, this concern also caused some dangerous debate on whether she is accepting Sean Combs’ side as the truth or if she chose to distance herself altogether.

From Cassie’s initial lawsuit against Diddy, fans already drew a connection with Yung Miami. After these subsequent legal filings, though, the conversation shifted to a much more serious tone as new alleged details drop like bombs in the news cycle. However, we must acknowledge that this is all speculation when it comes to her reactions until we hear from her directly. That probably won’t happen for a long time; at least, until all the legal considerations fall out of the picture.

Unfortunately for the Florida native, this also caused some of her previous beefs to escalate with this new angle. For example, DJ Akademiks blasted her for staying silent amid this whole chaos as of writing this article, despite the complex nature of it. “Yung Miami loud a** aint tweet in 4 days… cmon.. dont make it this obvious lOl,” he expressed on Twitter on Sunday (November 19). “No Way diddy staged them sad a** pics… Lol Im in the media.. i know that s**t cap asf.. lol. Bruh settled the case tho… no need for them sad a** staged tmz pics.”

Meanwhile, she’s still happy to share other things about her life, like her Friendsgiving set-up for the holidays this year. But whether the rapper will actually play a role in this legal situation is anyone’s guess, at this point. No matter when we find this out, there will be plenty of fans keeping her safety and best interests at heart. For more news and the latest updates on Yung Miami and Diddy, stay logged into HNHH.

The legendary New York rapper discussed the idea while weighing in on Boosie Badazz’s recent threats to do so.

“If you use somebody’s music and you sample it and you don’t clear it and you don’t give them no money, they can sue you,” he began. “Me, personally, I have never sued nobody for that. And trust me, they done had ‘Make it rain, make it, make it, make it rain.‘ Or ‘Lean wit it, rock wit it.’ My shit’s been jacked legendary. ‘Shoooulder leeean.’ My shit been jacked! If I went to court I’d be like, ‘Exhibit A — that shit don’t look like ‘Lean Back’ to you?’ […] I could’ve sued people for sampling my shit 10, 20 times.”

DJ Envy Hits Tony Robinson With Defamation Suit

August 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Envy has filed a defamation suit against Tony Robinson in relation to Envy’s many real estate lawsuits. Robinson is a former college football player who played one game as a scab for the then-Washington Redskins during the 1987 NFL Player’s Strike. Per The Shade Room, Envy has accused Robinson of “publicly and maliciously spread false claims” about him on social media. According to the suit, Robinson has claimed that Envy is a “thief”, a “scammer”, and running a “Ponzi scheme”.

Per the suit, Envy accuses Robinson of illegally recording a phone conversation in which the one-time quarterback attempts to get Envy to admit to his alleged wrongdoing. Envy is seeking an unspecified amount of punitive damages in the case. This is all in relation to an alleged real estate scam that Envy has been accused of. Anthony Barone and Anthony Martini claim that Envy and two others defrauded them out of $1.5 million in investment for an apartment complex that never came to be. The two men claim they invested in two real estate companies associated with Envy, who never followed through on the project.

Major Claims Against DJ Envy

However, those are just some of the claims that have been made against Envy. He is also accused of utilizing investments to buy properties in New Jersey. He is accused of later undervaluing these properties before flipping them or renting them out. The Breakfast Club host has denied these allegations and filed a motion to dismiss the suit with prejudice. Furthermore, Envy has claimed that he is also a victim of fraud. He claims to have lost $500,000 in a separate project with his accused partners. The trio of Envy and Cesar and Jennifer Pinas were reportedly working to renovate a school into an apartment complex.

The trio is due back in court on September 8 in order to try and seek a solution. Meanwhile, Robinson appears confidant about the defamation. Speaking in the comments of The Shade Room post, Robinson accepted Envy’s challenge. “Let’s get to it,” Robinson wrote. “Raashaun has 8-10 new lawsuits people making claims on fraud this too easy!.” However, this is a developing story and we’ll have any updates here at HotNewHipHop.

Offset Calls Off Lawsuit With Quality Control

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Offset and Quality Control, the label that has supported him, as well as his group Migos, have politely agreed to move on. The 32-year-old rapper filed a lawsuit over a year ago against the Atlanta-based music label over his solo music. According to TMZ, the documents laid out that Offset’s claim was that the label was attempting to take full control of his own music and they were not being upfront about the contract they agreed to. Furthermore, it appears a settlement will be the result of all of this. The lawsuit was dismissed on August 8.

Lately, Offset has been releasing songs under Motown, which is a subsidiary of Quality Control. Even though things are mostly in the clear, people who are tight with Offset have said that the hitmaker will not be re-joining the label as a solo artist. That is why singles, such as “Jealousy”, featuring his spouse, Cardi B are in partnership with Motown. Moreover, the altercations between his fellow member, Quavo, have subsided and they are repairing their relationship.

Should Offset and Quavo Make Music Again?

Now that both have moved on is there any indication of new music? At the moment, it does not seem like a realistic goal. However, Quavo’s Rocket Power is slated to drop on August 18. It is a tribute to the late, great third of the trio, Takeoff. There could be a Offset feature, but we will have to wait and see.

What are your general thoughts on this lawsuit? What do you think led to Offset dropping the court battle with Quality Control? Do you think he should still go back to the label as a solo artist? We want to hear all of what you have to say in the comments section below. Additionally, be sure to keep it locked it with HNHH for all the latest news around the hip-hip industry.
