50 Cent Reacts To Diddy Allegedly Assaulting Cassie In Security Footage

Today (May 17), CNN exclusively obtained some disturbing 2016 security footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. In the footage, she’s seen waiting for an elevator in a hotel hallway, when Diddy runs out of his room in a towel. He then comes from behind her, pulling her to the ground and kicking her twice before attempting to drag her back to the room. Diddy is also later seen throwing what appears to be a glass vase at the singer. He has yet to address the newly surfaced footage.

Cassie’s lawyer, however, Douglas Wigdor issued a response via email. “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs,” he wrote. “Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

For those who don’t recall, Cassie filed a bombshell lawsuit against Diddy in November of last year, accusing him of sexual assault, physical abuse, and more. They settled shortly after, though his lawyers insist it was in no way an admission of guilt. As countless social media users and peers share their reactions to this latest development, 50 Cent chimed in, mocking Diddy for his team’s previous responses to all of the allegations brought against him in recent months.

👀Now I’m sure puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent this proves nothing ! This is what his lawyers are gonna say, God help us all 🙏🏿,” 50 Cent captioned the footage, which has not been included due to its graphic nature. What do you think of the newly surfaced footage of Diddy and Cassie? What about 50 Cent’s reaction to it?

Cardi B Seemingly Reaffirms Her Commitment To Offset

It’s been a busy week for Cardi B fans trying to unpack all the news surrounding her personal life and musical output. First she shared and then later deleted a tweet that made it seem like she wouldn’t be dropping her new album in 2024 after all. That was eventually contradicted by her own label when they tweeted in response to her Rolling Stone cover story. Their response specifically called her upcoming album as one of the best of this year. The response, alongside Cardi deleting her original tweet, seems like good news for fans looking forward to her first new album in 6 years.

Fans trying to dissect Cardi’s personal life are having a similar back-and-forth. Late last year she and husband Offset seemingly had a rocky few months. Cardi even described herself as “single” at one point before the pair reunited for Christmas. They’ve appeared together multiple times since despite continued rumors of infidelity rocking the couple. But in her new Rolling Stone interview she may have re-affirmed her commitment to her husband. “It’s not even about love, we’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?” she says in the cover story. Check out the full interview she gave below.

Diddy’s Alleged Abuse Of His Ex Cassie Is Seemingly Confirmed In A Hotel Hallway Security Video

Music producer Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged abuse of his ex Cassie Ventura has seemingly been confirmed by a hotel hallway security video that was obtained and circulated by CNN. The television report contained a clip of the video, in which Diddy throws Cassie to the ground and then stomps on her. You can see the clip below.

Ventura had previously filed a lawsuit against Combs alleging physical abuse and sexual assault by the music impresario; although Combs denied the charges, he also quickly settled the lawsuit less than a day after it had been reported by news publications. While Diddy’s lawyer argued that his settlement was not an admission of guilt, it looks like at least one of those alleged incidents has been confirmed.

Since then, Diddy has been the target of a slew of new lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct and violent behavior, including accusations from at least one woman who said he assaulted her when she was underage.

Combs and Ventura had a long, tumultuous relationship, with her claims against him later receiving support from songwriter Tiffany Red, who corroborated incidents in which Combs threatened them both. Another accusation from Cassie’s lawsuit, that Combs had rapper Kid Cudi’s car bombed in a fit of jealousy, was also seemingly confirmed by Cudi himself.

Diddy is also apparently under investigation by federal authorities after claims of sex trafficking were leveled against him by some of the lawsuits, with agents raiding multiple properties owned by the music mogul.

Lupe Fiasco Announces His New Album, ‘Samurai,’ With A Video For Mellow Title Track

It’s a big week for Black nerds. Ubisoft announced the next game in its long-running Assassin’s Creed series, Shadows, will feature the Black samurai Yasuke as a playable protagonist (we love Yasuke), and now, Lupe Fiasco has announced his return with the fittingly titled album, Samurai, coming June 28th via his own label, 1st And 15th. All we need now is a Ghost Dog sequel, and we’ve got the trifecta.

The first single is the title song, and comes with a simple music video well-suited to the subject, which finds Lupe posted up in various locations around his city that nod to the art and architecture of Imperial Japan. He also rocks a sweatshirt emblazoned with the word “Ishigawa,” which is Japanese for Westside (*pushes glasses up nose with one finger*), a clever reference to his hometown, with a neat tie-in to the Japanese themes.

Lupe last blessed fans with a full project in 2022 with the critically hailed Drill Music In Zion. The album title had a deep meaning for the Chicago rapper, and Samurai is no different; Lupe has long been known to be a big fan of Japanese culture, practicing the martial art iaido and incorporating references to Japanese fashion and anime into his lyrics, way before such things were considered “cool” to do.

“I sometimes get tagged by my fans as not doing personal records,” Lupe said in the press release for the album. “But I always tell people there’s me in there if you listen closely enough. This album is one of my more personal records to date. It’s not a full biography, but my personal experiences are tied up in all of my music. A lot of the records are me. Some are from the POV of a character. and some are me. The album weaves things from my life as an artist, touching on things other artists go through.”

Samurai is out 6/28 via 1st And 15th. You can watch the video above, see the tracklist below, and get more info here.

Samurai Tracklist:

01. “Samurai”
02. “Mumble Rap”
03. “Cake”
04. “Palaces”
05. “No. 1 Headband”
06. “Bigfoot”
07. “Outside”
08. “Til Eternity”

Soulja Boy Calls Cap On William The Baddest’s Claims That They Were In A Relationship

Soulja Boy found himself caught in the middle of yet another social media firestorm this week after William The Baddest claimed to none other than Tasha K that they were in a relationship. Moreover, William went on to detail what kind of business they were allegedly up to, what the supposed dynamic was like, and accused him of furthering the bond. Of course, the Atlanta rapper was not happy at all with this, but compared to other combative responses that he’s had for folks, this came across as much more dismissive and mocking. After all, he was laughing the whole thing off by the end, so at least things didn’t get too confrontational.

“I’m telling y’all I’m not, what the f**k do you want me to… What the f**k is wrong with y’all?” Soulja Boy exclaimed. “They saying, ‘To the left.’ Bro, anybody can go on OnlyFans and see that. Anybody can go on OF and see that, I got an OF page. What the f**k, that don’t prove nothing, what the f**k is wrong with y’all? Aye, wait, wait, wait, keep it gangster: are y’all serious right now or are y’all trolling? Y’all serious? Oh, y’all deada**.

Soulja Boy’s Response To William The Baddest

“Okay, on my life, God strike me down, send me to hell right now,” Soulja Boy continued. “On my soul, on everything I love, that dude is lying. I could die right now today, God strike me down. I’ll put it on my life, I’ll put it on my life and soul, I’ll put it on my heartbeat. That is not true, bro *laughs*. Nah, if that don’t do it for y’all, I don’t know what the f**k you want me to say. If you don’t believe me after that, I don’t give a f**k. I don’t give a f**k, because it ain’t… What’s the big deal? What the f**k?”

Meanwhile, Soulja Boy is still recovering from some serious online fallout. His social media feuding with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin over old tweets led to him disrespecting Metro’s deceased mother on Mother’s Day, which either side of the fanbase took strong issue with. All’s fair in love and rap beef, but if it’s over some petty Twitter stuff from over a decade ago, it seems like folks are less forgiving. Hopefully the next IG Live session doesn’t go to those lengths.

Diddy Allegedly Assaults Cassie In New Footage From Hotel Security Camera

New hotel security camera footage from Los Angeles in March of 2016 (reportedly and exclusively obtained by CNN) allegedly shows Diddy assaulting Cassie, lending supposed truth to her since-settled lawsuit against him. It’s important to note that the accusations against him remain speculative and still have yet to fully meet a court of law to determine their veracity. We will not link the video itself in this article, but if you are curious enough to find it in the “Via” link below, proceed with caution as it displays disturbing images. Whether this clip is accurate or not, it seems to parallel some of the narratives that Cassie put forth in her lawsuit.

For one, Diddy is seen striking Cassie in the head in front of the hotel elevator, kicking her twice, taking her possessions back to the hotel room, and then returning to Cassie in the hallway to shove her and launch an item at her, which seems to be a vase. While his representatives have not yet commented on this video, and join him in the staunch denial of any and all allegations, Cassie’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor issued a statement via email. “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Furthermore, this alleged video seems to be a partial recording of a March 2016 incident that Cassie referred to in her lawsuit against Diddy. In the filing, she claims that it took place at the InterContinental Hotel in Center City, Los Angeles, and that he gave her a black eye while he was intoxicated. CNN was reportedly able to confirm that this alleged clip shows the same interior design as publicly available pictures of the former hotel. While the Bad Boy mogul allegedly returned Cassie’s items to the hotel room while wearing a bath towel and socks, she made a call on a hotel phone, which is when he threw what seems like a vase at her.

With all this in mind, it’s anyone’s guess as to how this could impact the pace, public visibility, or charges when it comes to Diddy’s controversies. While he settled this lawsuit with Cassie, various other legal filings emerged against him. This has been a whirlwind of a story, and this alleged proof might only exacerbate its depth and severity. For more developments and updates, come back to HNHH.

Soulja Boy’s 7 Biggest Beefs

Soulja Boy is known for being combative, so it’s no surprise he has been involved in several beefs with other rappers. Recently, Soulja Boy was in the news again over a beef. This time, the “Crank That” crooner sparred with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage. The feud was entirely avoidable and was triggered by a 12-year-old tweet from Metro. In the tweet, a teenage Metro wrote, “My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy. Yours rings to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit down.” Soulja Boy found out about the tweet and asked Metro to delete it. However, 21 Savage got involved and asked what would happen if Metro failed to delete the tweet.

21 Savage’s response infuriated Soulja Boy, who challenged the rapper and Metro to a boxing fight. Soulja Boy also dissed Metro Boomin’s late mom several times, sparking criticism from fans. Following the criticisms, Soulja surprisingly apologized to Metro Boomin via a tweet. He wrote, “I apologize to @MetroBoomin for over reacting over an old tweet. Condolences to his mom. I’m going to seek therapy and anger management. I’m done responding to hate, new or old. 💯🙏🏾.” With Soulja Boy’s latest move and vow to seek therapy and not respond to hate anymore, one cannot but look at his past feuds. Soulja Boy has a long list of beefs to his name but here are seven of the biggest he’s been involved in.

7. Soulja Boy Vs. Chris Brown

Soulja Boy and Chris Brown’s beef began in January 2017 after the former liked a post from Karrueche Tran, Chris’s ex-girlfriend. Chris reportedly threatened Soulja Boy over the post, causing the latter to launch a verbal attack on him. In a tweet, Soulja Boy cited Chris’s 2009 assault against his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. However, Soulja Boy and Chris Brown’s spat progressed from online slingshots to a boxing fight. Former heavyweight boxing champion Floyd Mayweather organized a pay-per-view boxing match between the feuding musicians. Chris and Soulja Boy continued their war of words and didn’t hold back from hurling expletives at each other.

Later, Soulja Boy challenged Chris to a street fight in Compton. True to his words, he arrived there for the fight and went live on Instagram with a group of guys surrounding him. However, things turned sour when some of the group members attacked and reportedly robbed Soulja. With the situation escalating further, Soulja called on Floyd Mayweather to train him for his boxing fight with Chris, who was also hyped up about the matchup. However, the fight never happened with Soulja later revealing that he and Chris resolved their issues after speaking about it.

6. Soulja Boy Beefs With 50 Cent

Besides being one of the greatest rappers alive, 50 Cent is famous for his hilarious memes. The G-Unit boss loves having fun with whoever he chooses and got in on Soulja Boy and Chris Brown’s beef, urging them to hit the ring and fight each other. When Soulja Boy looked as though he was quitting his beef with Chris Brown, 50 Cent didn’t want that to happen. Then, Soulja Boy shared a video where he apologized for his erratic behavior and revealed his mom was hospitalized. However, 50 Cent didn’t like the apology and shared several memes urging Soulja Boy to go ahead with the fight. 50 also revealed his plans to make money off the boxing fight, writing, “They’re talking about this s**t, right?” “Get Soulja Boy on the phone! Tell that n***a I said stop apologizing, get the draco out! We got to keep this s**t going!”

After Soulja reportedly got robbed at Compton, 50 Cent went ahead to troll him again. This time, he said, “Soulja Boy just got Robbed in LA, don’t worry ya big homie Floyd can buy you another chain. But you bet not call POLICE little man. #thefightstillon LMAO.” In another post, 50 Cent also said Soulja Boy shouldn’t cancel the fight as he had no choice but to go ahead with it. Soulja Boy responded to 50 Cent via a now-deleted IG post he captioned, “Rob who take what somebody tell Curtis Jackson shut the f**k up.” He also released the diss track “Hit Em With The Draco,” in which he hurled shots at 50 and Chris Brown. Eventually, Soulja Boy and 50 Cent’s spat never got too serious and died down after his fight with Chris failed to materialize.

5. Soulja Boy Beef With Lil Yachty

Lil Yachty and Soulja Boy’s beef started over a girl. It began on Oct. 28, 2016, after Soulja Boy posted screenshots of text exchange between himself and Yachty. In the chat, Yachty asked Soulja to remove a picture of himself and model India Love from social media. However, rather than take down the photo, Soulja went on a social media rampage, threatening Yachty. Also, he posted more pictures of himself and India and text messages from her in which she claimed to have never met Yachty.

Yachty responded by tweeting, “Im not for beefing over no female…all Ima say is…f***in wit da boat you gone sink. Period.” Yachty continued his offensive during his performance at Mala Luna Festival in San Antonio. He wore a shirt with the inscription, “Pray 4 Soulja Boy R.I.P. 2007–2016.” He also rapped, “F**k Soulja Boy, you a bitch ass n***a / Lil Boat came in with a hundred n****s / F***in’ on your bitch / I know that you mad.

Later, Soulja Boy claimed Yachty cried over the phone to him pleading for their beef to come to an end. However, Yachty quashed those claims and leaked a phone call between himself and Soulja in which the latter was apologizing to him. Incredibly, Soulja shared a video not too long after showing him calling off the beef with Yachty. Also, Soulja claimed the whole beef began because he ran out of weed. He said, “Lil Yachty, man, you know I love you, bruh. You know how Big Soulja start tweakin’ when he ain’t got no weed.” During an interview with Shay Diddy on 106.1 KMEL, Yachty insinuated that Soulja Boy used the beef for clout as it shouldn’t have blown up the way it did.

4. Soulja Boy Beef With Ice-T

The beef between Soulja Boy and Ice-T began after Ice-T’s Black Urban Legends mixtape was released in 2008. The mixtape’s intro contained an attack on Soulja from Ice-T. Ice-T said, “Fuck Soulja Boy, eat a d**k. Soulja Boy, I know you are young enough to be my kid but you single-handedly killed hip-hop, man. That shit is such garbage. We came all the way from Rakim, we came all the way from Das EFX, we came all the way from motherfuckers flowing like Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube, and you come with that Superman shit?” Ice-T’s infamous diatribes soon found its way to the internet and reached Soulja Boy. Unsurprisingly, the then-17-year-old Soulja Boy responded in kind via a video where he trashed Ice-T’s legacy. He called Ice-T an old man and the “forefather of my nuts,” among many other labels while his friends laughed in the background.

The Ice-T and Soulja Boy beef is one of the former’s regrets. During an interview with Ebro in 2022, the Law & Order: SVU actor revealed how the beef originated. Ice-T shared that the associates he was making the Black Urban Legends mixtape for got him agitated by telling him people would rather listen to Soulja Boy and Hurricane Chris than listen to him. This caused Ice-T to get angry and say what he said. However, he never knew the associates would put his rant as the mixtape’s intro, starting the beef. The beef has since cooled and Soulja Boy reflected on it during a 2022 interview with HotNewHipHop. The “Kiss Me Thru The Phone” rapper said Ice-T was confused at the time and “didn’t know he was looking at the future in his eyes.” Soulja also said the beef thought him to always stay in tune with youth culture.

3. Soulja Boy & Kanye West Beef

Kanye West and Soulja Boy went back and forth with each other on social media in February 2022. Their spat began after Soulja complained about Ye removing his verse on the song, “Remote Control,” from his Donda album. Soulja shared images of text messages between him and Ye. The text messages showed that Ye approved Soulja’s verse and agreed it would be on the song. However, that didn’t happen eventually, infuriating Soulja, who tweeted, “Idk how to feel, Kanye sent me that song ‘remote control’ and I don’t hear my verse on it. Hmm f**k that n***a.” He also wrote, “This n***a Kanye smh. Tell homie don’t hit my phone anymore.”

Afterward, Soulja posted a video on Instagram depicting Kanye losing his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, to comedian Pete Davidson. Soulja said, “Kanye, wake up. Skete got yo b***h n***a, whatchu gon do? Is you gon keep posting memes of Marvel vs. Capcom or you gon lay smackdown?” He added, “That’s what the f**k you get n***a! N***a tried to play me. N***a, you know who the f**k I am? I’m Big Draco and now you running around Hollywood crying like a b***h.”

Eventually, Kanye and Soulja Boy settled their beef. Soulja shared a screenshot of a text Kanye sent to him warning him not to talk about him or his wife again. Kanye’s text read, “This Ye. Don’t bring up me or my no more.” Afterward, Soulja revealed he and Kanye had settled their rift. Kanye also shared a screenshot of a message he sent to Soulja Boy. In the text, Kanye apologized for removing Soulja’s verse from the song, to which the latter replied, “Love you too bro. That’s all I wanted.”

2. Soulja Boy & Drake Beef

Drake and Soulja Boy’s beef is probably the funniest among all Draco’s beefs due to the unforgettable meme that emerged from it. It all began in January 2019 when Soulja appeared on The Breakfast Club for an interview with hosts DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God, and Angela Yee. During the interview, Soulja asked why Meek Mill had a bigger comeback than he did. Charlamagne Tha God responded by suggesting that Meek Mill’s success could be due to his beef with Drake. Soulja Boy was then told that Drake was the biggest rapper in the world, which caused him to get up from his chair to vent his annoyance. He then went into a full-blown rant that quickly became a meme.

Soulja screamed, “Draaaaaaake? Draaaaaaaaake? The n***a that got bodied by Pusha T? The n***a that hiding his kid from the world, but his world want to hide from the kid? Aubrey Graham in a wheelchair? Draaaaaake? Y’all n***as better stop playing with me man. Y’all talking about the lightskin ni**a from Degrassi?” Afterward, Soulja claimed he taught Drake everything he knew. He said, “”Stop playing with me. Stop playing me like I ain’t teach Drake everything he know. Y’all ain’t hear Drake on his first song?”

Soulja proceeded to sing a line from Drake’s 2010 song, “Miss Me,” from his debut album, Thank Me Later. He claimed Drake stole the song’s first bars from his 2007 song, “What’s Hannenin.” He claimed, “”That’s Soulja! That’s my bar. He copied my whole f**king flow. He copied my whole f**king flow. Word for word. Bar for bar. Don’t act like I didn’t make Drake, ni**a.” During an interview with XXL, Soulja also questioned why Drake never invited him on tour to perform their 2013 collaboration, “We Made It.” He also wondered why Drake never shot a video for the song.

Drake and Soulja eventually settled their beef. The 6 God got tagged to a video of Soulja Boy shopping from his OVO store in Los Angeles in February 2019. He then sent messages to Soulja, which the latter posted on X, formerly Twitter. In the message, Drake wrote, “You know it’s always been love all jokes aside. I dunno if you was serious about the video thing but I never knew you wanted to do a video for we made it you know I would have done that shit…” Drake then acknowledged Soulja’s hilarious meme from his interview on The Breakfast Club, writing, “but on some real shit…Draaaaaaaaaaaaake?!?! kill that show.”

1. Soulja Boy Vs. Bow Wow Beef

Soulja Boy and Bow Wow are now friends, but they have endured some low points in their friendship. The duo has toured together, collaborated on several songs, and also has a joint mixtape. However, at their worst, the pair engaged in heated exchanges online. The sour point in their friendship came after Soulja Boy dissed Nas in an eight-minute video in December 2008, declaring that the iconic rapper killed hip-hop due to his 2006 single, “Hip-Hop Is Dead.” However, Bow Wow, who idolizes Nas, released a freestyle over Jay-Z’s “Friend or Foe.” In the track, he responded to Soulja’s Nas diss, saying, “I’d never disrespect Nas, I’m not Soulja Boy.”

Bow Wow’s line fueled a back-and-forth with Soulja, who responded by uploading a video of himself in a new white Lamborghini. He then challenged Bow Wow to a race in their Lamborghinis. He vowed, “If I lose to you, I’ll give my pink slip to you. You can have that motherfucker.” Bow Wow responded two days later with a video of him driving his orange Lamborghini through a garage. He trolled Soulja Boy for driving a poor man’s Lamborghini and using plastic rims, among other shades. Days later, Soulja released a video claiming Bow Wow rented the Lamborghini he was driving. He also released a diss track titled “F**k Bow Wow,” in which he called the latter several derogatory names.

Bow Wow responded to Soulja’s diss track with a video in which he dissed his career, saying, “The only reason you’re in the game is because of me.” He followed that up with a diss track titled “What I Think About You” in which he rapped that Soulja’s career was dead. The pair kept going at each other in 2009 but things quietened afterward. Much wasn’t heard about the pair’s beef for many years until September 2016, when Soulja Boy appeared in an interview on Say Cheese! During the interview, he revealed that he and Bow Wow were no longer feuding but were now friends. He said their beef was due to them being young and in different mind spaces.

Soulja Boy added, “We straight now. That Shit crazy. That’s like one of my best home boys. I was just in his crib like two days ago. I’m telling you, once years go by, you get some experience in this industry. You get you some real money, you get off of that shit.” Soulja and Bow Wow proved they were truly reconciled with the release of their joint tape Ignorant Shit. After Soulja called out Drake for not crediting his influence, Bow Wow appeared in an interview with Hollywood Unlocked: Uncensored and credited Soulja for being among the top artists who changed hip-hop. Bow Wow added that Soulja Boy was the “first big digital internet sensation that we saw.”

Bow Wow and Soulja Boy seemed to be feuding again in May 2021 after rumors of them facing off in a Verzuz battle emerged. However, Soulja clarified that it was all love between them. It was eventually confirmed that the rappers would face off in the rap battle, and they hyped up the event on social media and engaged in playful jabs with each other. The Verzuz battle was held on June 26, 2021, in Los Angeles. It was a memorable event, with both rappers engaging in friendly competition and eventually shutting the place down.

Boosie Badazz Thinks Someone Could Have Gotten Hurt Amid Drake & Kendrick Lamar Beef

It’s no secret that Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical feud got pretty ugly, and according to Boosie Badazz, the situation could have escalated even further than it did. During a recent appearance on Ari Fletcher’s cooking show Dinner With The Don, the Louisiana-born performer revealed that he doesn’t like rap beef. He explained that while nobody was physically injured this time around, that’s not always the case, and it’d be a tragedy if someone had been.

“I don’t like rap beef,” he began. “Cuz what if somebody shoot Drake up? The whole world gon be sad… Somebody shoot Kendrick Lamar a** up? Chop his a** up? The whole house gon be quiet.” Boosie’s remarks have sparked a debate in TheHipHopWolf‘s comments section, with fans arguing about whether or not he has a point.

Boosie Badazz Doesn’t Like Rap Beef

This isn’t the first time Boosie’s aired his unfiltered opinion on rap beef, however. Back in April, the “Wipe Me Down” artist took to Twitter/X, urging fans to stop supporting it altogether. This was right after the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s album We Still Don’t Trust You, as listeners began to speculate about any potential Drake shade. Boosie similarly warned that things could get real in a hurry, even before Kendrick and Drake dropped their most explosive diss tracks.

“EVERYBODY GASSING UP RAP BEEF SMH ALL EXCITED SAYING THIS HIP HOP,” he wrote. “WELL EVERYONE N THE CREW NOT GO SEE IT THAT WAY . N WHEN IT POP OFF ‘IT REALLY GOES DOWN.’ SO WHEN SOMEONE FROM ONE OF THESE CREWS DIE, DONT SAY THEY ST*PID SMH GO SUPPORT THEM N COURT LIKE YALL SUPPORTED THE RAP BEEF.” What do you think of Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef?

Doja Cat Enraged With “Fortnite” & Its Developers Are Responding Accordingly

Doja Cat is of course known for her musical talents, but she is also a huge video game nerd. The California native streams on Twitch occasionally, and one of her favorites at the moment is Fortnite. The battle royale game, which launched in late 2017, grew immensely fast, thanks to Ninja mainly. The multiplayer title is always bringing new updates, DLCs, and loads of in-game concert events. As you can probably surmise, not all of the changes are welcomed by everyone. Lately, Doja Cat has not enjoyed her recent sessions on Fortnite, as a series of rageful posts on X suggests.

According to AllHipHop, Doja is having major issues with a weapon, the Chains of Hades, and the Water Bending ability. “FORTNITE WOULDN’T BE SO F***ING EMBARRASSING IF THEY MADE LOBBIES WHERE PEOPLE WITH ACTUAL AIM SKILLS AND FPS EXPERIENCE DIDN’T DEAL WITH LOSERS USING F***ING WATER BENDING AND CHAINS OF HADES.” Doja did not stop there though. “WATER BENDING IS A F***ING CRUTCH YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT THE GAME BECAUSE OF WATER BENDING, I WOULD BECOME SEVERELY DEPRESSED IF I HAD TO RELY ON ANY OF THESE STUPID NON F***ING WEAPONS.”
