Diddy Accuser Alleges That Mogul Filmed Freak Offs To Blackmail Celebrities

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with DailyMail, one of the women suing Diddy detailed some of the experiences she allegedly had at his parties. According to Adria English, she was hired as a go-go dancer, but eventually, was allegedly made to participate in freak offs. She accuses him of grooming her into sex trafficking and more.

English claims that the alleged freak offs took place in rooms away from the main party. Based on this, many guests wouldn’t know what was allegedly going on. She even accuses Diddy of filming the alleged encounters and using the footage to blackmail celebrities. “He would send them in a room with me or another sex worker, record it, and then hold that over that celebrity or that influential person’s head and then basically use me,” she alleged. “It was like high-class temping, if you will.”

“He orchestrated it, he commanded it, he lined it up, he expected it, he manipulated it. He got money and yachts and planes all around the world based on me doing these favors,” English also alleged. Diddy’s team has denied the allegations on his behalf. “As we’ve said from the start, anyone can file a lawsuit without proof — and this case is a clear example of that,” a spokesperson for the Bad Boy founder said this week.

“Adria English escalated things by filing false police reports and making baseless claims, using high-profile events as a backdrop to harm innocent people,” they continued. “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex trafficked anyone.” What do you think of one of the women suing Diddy accusing him of filming freak offs for alleged blackmail?

Swizz Beatz Sued For Allegedly Receiving Millions In Stolen Funds

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Swizz Beatz now finds himself in the middle of one of the world’s largest current corruption scandals. Moreover, according to court documents reportedly obtained by AllHipHop, authorities filed a lawsuit in New York on Wednesday (October 2) accusing him of receiving $7.3 million of stolen funds from Jho Low and his associates amid the 1MDB scheme. For those unaware, according to officials, this refers to the theft of billions of dollars from the Malaysian state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) by business fugitive Jho Low and others, including associate Eric Tan. It’s important to note that the Ruff Ryder producer’s connection is still an alleged one at press time, and that Low denies any involvement.

Furthermore, liquidators sued Swizz Beatz for both intentional and constructive fraudulent conveyance, as well as unjust enrichment. But he wasn’t the only hip-hop star that came up in this case. Authorities convicted Fugees member Pras last year for attempting to stop the United States’ investigations into Jho Low. Back to Swizz, though, real name Kasseem Dean: “As the 1MDB Fraud was underway, Jho Low became a well-known figure in the Hollywood scene and developed a reputation as a businessman with deep pockets and a penchant for hosting lavish, star-studded parties and group vacations,” the lawsuit against him reads. Throughout the early 2010s, Low befriended many U.S. celebrities including Dean and his wife Alicia Keys.”

Liquidators want to recoup the cash stolen from the 1MDB-linked Affinity Equity International Partners Limited and Alsen Chance Holdings Limited, which were in liquidation processes in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). “Between September 21, 2012 and September 4, 2014, Jho Low and/or Eric Tan caused the debtors to transfer $7,300,000 to defendants and, during that same time period, the debtors did not receive any money back from the defendants or any other consideration from the defendants in exchange for the fraudulent transfers,” the suit continued. “Consequently, a net amount of $7,300,000 was conveyed from the debtors to the defendants.” Alsen Chance reportedly handed $1.5 million to the Verzuz creative’s company in September of 2012. Two payments of $1 million and $800K followed in October.

On the other hand, Affinity reportedly paid Swizz Beatz’s Monza Studios $800K in November 2013, with $1 million more arriving in December. The Elon Musk partner also received $500K in June 2014, $300K in July, $1.4 million in September, per the court documents’ allegations. Through incorporation under the BVI Companies Act, the BVI Court appointed liquidators to Alsen Chance and Affinity to contribute to “global asset recovery efforts for the benefit of the debtors’ creditors, being 1MDB and SRC International, and therefore ultimately the people of Malaysia.” Liquidators seek $3.3 million in damages from Swizz Beatz Productions, $1.8 million from Monza Studios, and $2.2 million from Swizz himself, as well as other legal fees.

Kanye West Thanks Drake For Writing “Yikes” Chorus During China Show

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that Kanye West and Drake go way back, and it looks like the Yeezy founder hasn’t forgotten. During his recent performance in China, for example, he gave Drizzy a shoutout for his contributions to one of his songs. The track in question was his 2018 Ye cut, “Yikes.”

“I wanna thank Drake for writing this chorus for me,” Ye said onstage. The shoutout took place just a couple of months after the Toronto hitmaker’s 100-gigabyte data dump. The drop included music, behind-the-scenes footage, and more. It even included a clip of Drake working on “Yikes,” which proved just how involved he was in its creation.

Kanye West Gives Drake A Shoutout

This isn’t the first time that Ye’s given Drake a shoutout in recent months, however. At his Vultures listening event in Korea in August, he also mentioned Drake onstage, though the moment left fans fairly confused. “This one’s for Drake, this one’s for Ian Connor,” he said just before playing “I Wonder.” While many speculated that he was throwing shade, others theorized that Ye was simply using Drake’s name for clout. Some even suspected that Drake’s viral loss to Kendrick Lamar earned him some sympathy from Ye. The Chicago rapper hopped on a remix of “Like That” not long before that, however, seemingly indicating whose side he was on in the lyrical battle.

While some viewers believe that Ye was genuinely thanking Drake for his contribution to the song, others have their doubts. Many users in NFR Podcast‘s comments section think he simply said this because the aforementioned footage of Drake writing it came out. What do you think of Kanye West thanking Drake during his recent performance in China? Are you surprised or not? Are you glad that Drizzy is getting credit for his contribution to “Yikes”? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Halle Bailey & DDG Wipe Each Other Off Of Their Instagram Pages

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG and Halle Bailey may have just had a baby boy not even a year ago, but it looks like they realized they wanted to go in different directions. Moreover, the former recently announced that they decided to break up, which was a shock for some social media users and an opportunity for debate and speculative criticism for others. No matter what your thoughts are, it looks like the couple is proceeding with their choice. For example, they each deleted all posts featuring the other on their respective Instagram accounts. While we can’t know the exact reason why they chose to do so, one can assume that they would want distance at this point before continuing their journey as co-parents.

“Dear friends and supporters,” DDG’s announcement of the Halle Bailey split began. “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared. Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared. As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support. Thank you for your love and encouragement. -DDG [red heart emoji].”

As for why Halle Bailey and DDG broke up, fans have many theories and rumors to spread. Chief among them is the joke that Usher is to blame, since the rapper tried to snatch a cherry that the R&B legend tried to feed to Halle during a performance. It wouldn’t be the first time that Usher was the alleged root of a breakup, but that moment was probably just a playful antic without any serious repercussions.

Meanwhile, their co-parenting of Halo will probably maintain a strong bond between them regardless of their relationship status. All we can hope for is that things stay amicable and family-focused.

“I saw Paris Hilton and Reverend Al Sharpton. I still wonder why Reverend Al Sharpton was there,” she also alleged. English claims that she agreed to dance at Diddy’s parties with no idea that she’d ever allegedly be expected to do anything more. “I agreed to do it because, heck yeah, I’m at an exclusive thing where Jay-Z was there, and Beyoncé – Diddy, all the big names… I didn’t know it was going to turn into anything sexual,” she alleged.

According to her, her first paid event seemed “legitimate.” Allegedly, it “had no sinister intent or requirements for physical sexual contact.” What do you think of one of the women suing Diddy recalling the celebrities she allegedly saw at his parties?
