D.L. Hughley Says Donald Trump Deserves Manslaughter Charges

by

Donald Trump has been putting a lot of energy towards his 2024 Presidential campaign in recent weeks. Seeing as the Jan. 6 Committee commissioned to analyze the deadly insurrection at the Capitol during his last stint in office has referred him for criminal charges, though, it’s entirely possible we may not see the politician hit the campaign trail next year.

Earlier this month, news came out declaring that the New York native is facing accusations of “providing aid and comfort” to the 2021 mob. Additionally, he could receive charges for “obstructing Congress’ Jan. 6 joint session, conspiracy to make false statements to the National Archives, and conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

At the time, panel chair Rep. Bennie Thompson said, “Faith in our system is the foundation of American democracy. If the faith is broken, so is our democracy. Donald Trump broke that faith. He lost the 2020 election and knew it, but he chose to try to stay in office through a multi-part scheme. This can never happen again.”

While he still has a surprising number of supporters, just as many others have been expressing disdain for Trump since the moment he began his political career. Specifically, comedian D.L. Hughley has been vocal about his thoughts on the Jan. 6 situation.

Recently, TMZ caught up with him at LAX, at which time they discussed what the future may hold for Trump. “Ultimately, we all saw what happened,” he tells the camera.

When asked about the former POTUS’ future election plans, Hughley says, “He should be disqualified from running again. Anybody who tries to overthrow, and have armed people rise up… Use white nationalists and skinheads to affect the results he wanted. They should automatically have been disbarred.”

Additionally, the actor thinks that failure to indict Trump on these allegations would “speak volumes of our legal system.” He went on, “Stop saying out loud that nobody is above the law because clearly, they are.”

“From espionage to, you know, tampering with elections. You name it. I think he should be charged with manslaughter for the cop that died, even though it wasn’t in the event,” Hughley told TMZ.

He then said that if Trump was a Black man, he would be a “co-conspirator” and put in jail long ago. “He is clearly guilty,” the 59-year-old insisted. “He’s taking this country down fast. I don’t know that it will ever recover.”

Boosie Badazz Gets Into Minor Car Accident, Lets Driver Slide

by

Although it can be hectic, the holiday season usually puts people in a festive mood and promotes generosity.

It certainly seems as though the Christmas spirit got to Boosie Badazz this year.

The “Wipe Me Down” rapper was reportedly involved in a minor car accident during the holidays. He subsequently took to his Instagram account on Monday (December 26) to share a message surrounding the incident.

“Mothaf*cka just hit me in the back, mane. He ain’t damage my sh*t, he just hit my sh*t. I let him ride, dawg. 9:00-5:00 worker. N***a said, Boosie, mane, I don’t know what to tell you, bruh, I can’t pay you,” the 40-year-old says in the video.

Obviously, the Baton Rouge native is expecting others to pay it forward in case he accidentally hits someone while out on the roads. “I want y’all to let me slide. When I bump somebody, let me slide too. Be a real one. Let me slide. I let ya’ll slide. This [is] a Rolls Royce truck,” he continues afterwards.

In other recent news surrounding Boosie, he revealed his interest in directing a movie about YSL’s ongoing RICO case. Young Thug remains behind bars, awaiting trial. However, other YSL members have since been released after taking plea deals. Gunna, YSL co-founder Walter Murphy and Thugger’s brother, Unfoonk, are among those who have accepted deals.

There is certainly enough going on surrounding the trial to document it within a film. It will be interesting to see if the 40-year-old actually pulls it off.

After all, the movie business is not entirely new territory for the “Wipe Me Down” rapper. He has acted in several movies throughout his career, including 2010’s Ghetto Stories: The Movie. Furthermore, he’s responsible for writing, directing and producing his own movie, Where’s MJ, which saw a release on Christmas Day. It’s supposed to be his take on the classic holiday movie, Home Alone.

Love Sean Comb’s Face Makes Its Debut On Daddy Diddy’s Instagram Feed

by

Diddy loves all of his children, there’s no denying that. The youngest addition to his family has been getting an extra amount of attention lately. She’s been making headlines all month long, despite not even being able to walk yet.

As you may recall, the 53-year-old announced the birth of Love Sean Combs via Twitter a few weeks ago. Since then, we’ve uncovered the identity of his baby mama (surprisingly it’s not Yung Miami). Now, we’ve been given our first look at her face.

After teasing photos of her throughout the Christmas weekend, Diddy finally shared his bundle of joy with his followers on Tuesday (December 27). “Baby Love,” he captioned the series of snapshots posted on his feed this afternoon.

In the first photo, the infant’s dark brown eyes shine as she pouts. The previously shared faceless pictures from the weekend proved that she had a lot of hair on her head already, but now we can clearly see just how much.

In the second snap, Combs holds his peacefully sleeping baby in his arms. While he sports a crisp white shirt – bold decision around a newborn – she looks ever-so angelic in a pink ribbed onesie and adorable bow on her head.

Diddy only shared Love’s first photo 30 minutes ago, but celebrity friends are already flooding to the comments to express their joy at seeing him on daddy duty. “Love is beautiful,” Draya Michele wrote.

“What in the most beautiful baby in the world is going on here,” The Game asked his friend. Additionally, Winnie Harlow, Ashanti, and Swizz Beatz chimed in with sweet emojis to show their support.

Though fatherhood is clearly one of the highlights of his life, it’s not the only endeavour that Diddy is putting his energy into at the moment. He has a new album on the way in 2023 (as does his son), and he looks to be working on a reality show of some sort as well.

Roc Nation Trends On Twitter As Users Poke Fun At Tory Lanez’s Dad

by

The two weeks during which Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion’s trial took place earlier this week were undeniably tense. Since then, however, the internet has blown up with memes reacting to some of the more comedic moments that took place throughout the case.

Most recently, it’s been the artist’s father, Sonstar Peterson, who is being markedly ridiculed online. Specifically, Twitter users are having a field day with his condemnation of Roc Nation following his son’s guilty verdict.

“I just stood here and witnessed the worst miscarriage of justice that this world has ever seen. You want to know how I feel, I’ll tell you exactly how I feel,” he ranted after being removed from the courthouse last week.

Sonstar obviously thinks that Megan’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, and Roc Nation’s COO, Desiree Perez, are to blame for Lanez’s prosecution. Additionally, he cast blame on “the whole wicked system of Roc Nation, including you, Jay-Z.”

“You who say you rose from the gutter, but you have traded and bartered the souls of young men, and you’re still doing it,” Peterson continued targeting Hov.

Aside from his father’s reaction, the “Say It” hitmaker also has countless fans still in his corner. Many of them have accordingly signed a petition requesting Lanez be released. However, it’s unlikely that will be entertained before his January 27th sentencing.

Thee Stallion herself comparatively has yet to comment on the situation. Still, Twitter users are keeping the verdict in the vernacular by blaming Roc Nation for some of their own problems, in the same style as Sonstar.

“Roc Nation can’t keep getting away with this,” one person previously replied to a post reading, “The fact that it’s 10 degrees in every state don’t seem strange to y’all?”

Another chimed in, “Half the people who work for Roc Nation can’t even get into the Roc Nation brunch but sure they have control over LA superior court.”

In other news, we recently revealed what Tory Lanez got to eat for Christmas dinner while behind bars. Read more about that here, and afterwards, check out more funny tweets below.

Noah “40” Shebib Shows Support For Megan Thee Stallion

by

Drake and his long-time in-house producer, Noah “40” Shebib have seemingly always been on the same page.

Ever since The Boy’s second mixtape, 2007’s Comeback Season, 40 has notably produced on every single project.

Continuing tradition, the two OVO Sound co-founders collaborated for multiple tracks on Drizzy’s latest offering – the 21 Savage collab album, Her Loss.

Upon its release early last month, the world was witness to the “Jimmy Cooks” rapper shockingly taking shots at Megan Thee Stallion. On the ninth track, the Daft Punk-sampling “Circo Loco,” the Toronto native accuses Meg of lying about getting shot. “This b*tch lie ’bout gettin’ shots, but she still a stallion / She don’t even get the joke, but she still smilin’,” he raps in the first verse.

“Shorty say she graduated, she ain’t learn enough / Play your album, track one, ‘kay, I heard enough,” he later continues. There has been speculation that he may not have been trying to reference Meg directly. However, the lyrics certainly seem self-explanatory.

In an Instagram post from On Canada Project last week, the social wellness organization promoted their support for the “Savage” rapper amid the trial. The post includes a number of tweets defending the San Antonio native from the public shame she was experiencing after the 2020 incident.

The Canadian producer liked the post and subsequently left a comment with emojis representing applause and praise for the caption.

The comment is certainly causing some confusion, considering Drake and Shebib’s close relationship. Although the producer doesn’t have a production credit on “Circo Loco,” he does have a writing credit.

Regardless, the lyrics were in poor taste from the jump. However, now that Lanez has been found guilty on all three charges against him, the attack is even more of a bad look for Drizzy. It still remains unclear as to why he decided to take aim at her in the song. The Toronto superstar has yet to address the bars publicly, despite calls for him to do so.

“And…I still haven’t listened to Drake’s latest album because of that disgusting lyric in reference to Meg!! I hope his apology is just as loud. Justice has been served, Merry Christmas everyone. #WeStandWithMegan,” wrote comedian London Hughes in a tweet following the guilty verdict.

Ye’s Ex-Girlfriend Juliana Nalú Rocks A Tiny Black Bikini While Celebrating In Brazil

by

Kanye West was spending time with a number of women throughout 2022. Though he started the year with Julia Fox by his side, he later moved on to Chaney Jones. Things there would eventually fizzle out as well, and he would go on to affiliate himself with iconic models like Candice Swanepoel and, most recently, Juliana Nalú.

The 24-year-old began spending time with the “Flashing Lights” rapper in October. They were regularly seen out in oversized rubber boots and other interesting style choices while going on dates across the country. Eventually, though, the young beauty had enough of her beau in the midst of his pro-Nazi rants on various platforms.

As backlash came her way for seemingly dating an anti-Semite, Nalú wrote, “I’m single. Thanks for caring.” Since then, she’s been fully embracing the relationship-free lifestyle. Meanwhile, Ye has been busy preparing for his big 2024 presidential run.

A new report from Daily Mail reveals that the foreign socialite went back to her homeland for the holidays. She spent Christmas amongst her loved ones in Brazil, where the paparazzi caught her on camera looking snatched and ready to serve.

Throughout a series of snapshots, Nalú models a tiny string black bikini, which saucily shows off her tantalizing figure. In some of the photos, she holds her small dog, Rio – named after her hometown – while standing in the water.

Clearly, the father of four’s ex didn’t have a white Christmas – unless you count the white sand from the beach. While it remains unclear what her future plans are, or if she’s got her eye on any other famous faces, it’s obvious that she’s moved on from their brief fling.

Ye has also been doing some moving on of his own, although his is from a different relationship. Just a few weeks ago, the 45-year-old finally allowed for his divorce from Kim Kardashian to wrap up, marking a new chapter of life for each of them as they continue to co-parent.

Quando Rondo Calls Out YouTuber Who Pranks Him With Fake Diamond Test

by

Quando Rondo was angry with a YouTuber who tried to prank him with a fake diamond tester during a video shared on social media. In the clip, YouTuber DatBoyQ tried to convince the Georgia rapper that his jewelry was not authentic.

As the results continue to come back negative, Rondo gets flustered.

“Man, lil’ bruh, quit playing with me, man,” he said initially after the results arrived.

Afterward, Quando took the YouTuber and his crew to his jeweler, Crescent Jewelers for a real opinion. There, his jewelry is confirmed to be real.

“Where your diamond tester at? They trolling me with they little fake diamond tester. I don’t know what they got going on,” Quando Rondo told the jeweler. “I ain’t gon’ lie, I don’t even know y’all boys. Y’all got that fake-ass diamond tester and shit. Lil’ bruh, y’all playing, n****s gets murked like that. And get laughed at, ‘Ah ha, he dead.’”

The incident comes a month after Rondo shared a collaborative mixtape with NBA YoungBoy, 3860. The project features a sole guest appearance from Lul Timm. It marked YoungBoy’s seventh project of a busy 2022 although it was only Rondo’s first. Speaking about the tape on Never Broke Again Radio, YoungBoy admitted that Rondo is a better rapper than him.

“It’s crazy, I don’t know,” YoungBoy said. “The world be hating so bad, and I be keeping it so gangsta. Man, Quando rap way better than me, and them bitches be hating on my five. I don’t like that twisted ass shit.”

Check out the YouTube prank video featuring Rondo below.

Tesla To Finish As One Of The Worst Performing Stocks Of 2022

by

Tesla is set to finish 2022 as one of the worst-performing stocks of the year. In the two months since owner Elon Musk purchased Twitter, shares of Tesla have dropped 45%. In total, the stock is down 65% since January.

Instead of uncertainty in Musk, himself, since the Twitter acquisition, the billionaire says interest rates are to blame.

“In simple terms: as bank savings account interest rates, which are guaranteed, start to approach stock market returns, which are not guaranteed, people will increasingly move their money out of stocks into cash, thus causing stocks to drop,” Musk recently wrote on Twitter.

Tesla investor and Future Fund manager Gary Black challenged him in the replies. He cited differences between Telsa’s fall-off and the rest of the market.

“Elon – you can’t compare a very short duration bank with long duration $TSLA stock…,” Black wrote back. “Since you closed on TWTR, TSLA [is down] -38% vs NDX [Nasdaq 100] -1%. If it was all [interest] rates, NDX would be down a similar amount.”

Musk has sold nearly $40 billion worth of Tesla stock since last year. As recently as earlier this month, he dropped off another $3.6 billion. Afterward, he vowed to stop selling Tesla stock until at least 2024; however, he’s broken similar promises in the past.

Additionally, Tesla is offering a $7,500 discount on Model 3 and Model Y vehicles delivered in the U.S. this month.

Musk said last week that he intends to resign as head of Twitter once the company identifies a successor. He previously ran a poll asking whether he should do so.

Diddy Spotted Jewelry Shopping In St. Barths While Filming For New Reality Show

by

Diddy officially achieved billionaire status just a few months ago, but that hasn’t slowed down his work ethic at all. If anything, the 53-year-old is working as hard as he can to bring in more streams of revenue. He recently announced that a new album will be landing from him in the new year. As Daily Mail reports, he’s also presently filming something while on vacation with his family.

According to the outlet, Sean Combs has been spending Christmas in St. Barths. Joining him in the tropical paradise are several of his children. Among them are daughters Chance, Jessie, and D’Lila, as well as his sons, Christian and Quincy.

On Christmas Eve (December 25), the New Yorker and his offspring were out and about with a camera crew. Presently, we have no details regarding the project. Still, many are speculating we’ll be seeing a Combs family reality series in the near future.

During one night shoot on their trip, Diddy, Quincy, and Christian went out jewelry shopping, likely treating themselves to some luxurious pieces.

It’s been noted that the music mogul’s twin daughters appear to play an important role in the show. For many of their outings, they dressed in similarly styled outfits and have already flaunted various looks throughout their vacation.

In the past, Combs has worked on several reality projects. His VH1 series I Want To Work For Diddy ran for one season, and Making The Band was far more successful with 12 editions airing over the years.

Aside from his upcoming music and major money moves, fans would be undeniably pleased to learn more about the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker’s new baby mama, Dana Tran on his reality show.

Of course, they’ll also want answers regarding his situationship with Yung Miami, which is never not making headlines.

Kim Kardashian Says That She “Hated” 2018 White House Visit

by

Kim Kardashian says that she “hated” the way she felt while visiting the White House in 2018. Kardashian reflected on the trip during her recent appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast.

“I hated how I felt when I went into the White House for the first time and I didn’t know half of anything that they were saying – like all of the clemency talk, and all the attorney lingo and everything that they were talking about,” she said. “I literally was sitting there, like texting my attorney that was next to me.”

Kardashian went to the White House to meet with then-President Donald Trump on behalf of Alice Marie Johnson. Trump later commuted Johnson’s sentence. She had been handed a life sentence in 1996 over nonviolent drug charges.

“I was to the point where I didn’t even know like all of the abbreviations in the White House, so they were like okay this person at the DOJ, and I was like ‘What is the DOJ?’” she continued, before adding, “And my attorney was like, come on Department of Justice and she kept texting me all this stuff but I was never too embarrassed to ask.”

Kardashian added: “I think that sometimes like you go into something and you like I should know all this stuff.”

The White House eventually invited Kardashian back to further discuss clemency.

Kardashian recently studied to receive a law degree. She says that her late father, attorney Robert Kardashian, would be proud of her efforts.

Check out Kim Kardashian’s appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast below. Elsewhere in the interview, she discussed her relationship with Kanye West.
