50 Cent says Meek Mill needs to stop concerning himself with the rumors about his sexuality and instead worry about whether Diddy was recording his behavior at his infamous parties. Taking to Instagram, 50 shared a headline that reads: “Meek Mill Says The Rumors About Him And Diddy Is Confusing His 12-Year-Old Son ‘People Saying His Dad is G*y.’” In the caption, 50 remarked: “Got Damn it. People don’t think you are gay @meekmillnews they think you on them tapes. Old boy was filming every room even the toilets.”
The story stems from a series of tweets Meek put out in which he complained about his son hearing about the rumors. “I don’t believe no Diddy story once they lied about me now!” he wrote in one post. “I don’t care but yall confusing my son he’s 12 with people saying his dad gay it’s sick.” In another, he added: “Yall call it trolling I call it I have 2 young kings papi and czar plus my other son I raised zah that see magnified press … to know they can be whatever they want but their dad represent one thing and if I was gay they probably wouldn’t be living!”

The rumors about Meek Mill stem from Lil Rod’s sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy, in which he claims the Bad Boy mogul bragged about having sex with a rapper from Philadelphia who previously dated Nicki Minaj. The filing never mentioned Meek by name and Diddy has denied all of the allegations. Even 50, who has been using the lawsuit to troll Diddy relentlessly, recently admitted it might be false.
50 is currently working on a docuseries about the situation. Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent as well as Diddy and Meek Mill on HotNewHipHop.
Back in 2016, former music executive and politician Ronald Savage came forward to accuse Afrika Bambaataa of molesting him in the late 70s, when he was between the ages of 12 and 14. After he shared his story, various other alleged victims spoke out with similar accusations. One of his former bodyguards even suggested that he may have witnessed some concerning activity. As a result, Bambaataa was kicked out of Zulu Nation, an international hip-hop awareness group he founded himself in 1973.
Now, one of Bambaataa’s anonymous alleged victims, who accused the artist of child sexual abuse and sex trafficking in a 2021 lawsuit, is urging the judge to make a ruling. According to an exclusive report by AllHipHop, John Doe previously filed a motion seeking a default judgment. In new court documents from earlier this week, he asks the judge for an update.

“From 1991 to 1995, Plaintiff was invited to Defendant’s apartment, located in the BRH, where he was repeatedly subjected to sexual abuse consisting of mutual masturbation and sodomy,” the lawsuit alleges. “During the same time period, Plaintiff was transported by Defendant Taylor, to other locations and offered for sex to other adult men in exchange for money. Defendant Taylor, intentional sexual assault of Plaintiff was for his own sexual gratification and without regard for the Plaintiff’s well-being. Defendant Taylor, performed the aforementioned actions for his own sexual gratification and without Plaintiff’s consent.”
Allegedly, the victim was only 12 years old when the abuse began. He later sued Bambaataa for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and gross negligence. Universal Zulu Nation and XYZ Corp were additionally named as defendants in the suit.

“What I can’t do and what I won’t do is downplay the laughter, the fun, the energy, the inspiration, the award shows the studio sessions the most legendary parties and events I’ve ever attended in my life, and I also can’t act as if my high school backyard parties throughout south central LA wasn’t the craziest parties ever because of the Bad Boy on slew of hit records,” Tyrese began. “I don’t condone nor do I support abuse, bullying sexual assault or anything that is currently being alleged but what I can’t do is turn the blinds on how much this mean to me and all of us, and what he has done for the community of music and culture.”

I love this brother he’s been nothing but kind and generous towards me and that’s the way I feel praying and praying for more of a better outcome of all of this is happening. God bless you Diddy. If you ever need to call me and just need a listening here I’m right here bro.”
Tyrese isn’t the only celebrity to back Diddy in recent weeks. Floyd Mayweather, Slim Thug, and more have all said they’re reserving judgment on the disgraced industry veteran. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
50 Cent shared a poster for his upcoming docuseries about the allegations Diddy is facing on Instagram, Monday night. The teaser comes after police and Homeland Security officers raided the Bad Boy mogul’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami earlier in the day. “This is gonna break records when this drops. GLG GreenLightGang you know the vibes,” 50 captioned the image, which features three photos of Diddy.
Fans joked about 50’s level of disdain for Diddy in the comments section. “50 is the most committed hater I know, you have to respect that,” one fan remarked. Another joked that Katt Williams should narrate the project. “R. Kelly moving his things to the top bunk,” one said.

Diddy’s attorney Aaron Dyer released a statement addressing the raids the following day. “Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,” he said. He added: “This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

“For Meek Mill’s sake I hope Diddy no Diddy got rid of those photos & tapes,” Wack wrote in his post.

The raids on Diddy’s properties were carried out by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York, HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and local law enforcement. They are related to an investigation into sex trafficking in the Southern District of New York. Diddy was reportedly aboard a flight from California to Antigua at the time. Check out Wack 100’s jokes about the incident below.
Diddy has yet to comment on the raids but has denied the allegations against him on several occasions in recent months. Be on the lookout for further updates on the fallout from the case against Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
In the last few weeks, multiple sexual assault lawsuits have been filed against several men in politics and entertainment. As the final wave of accusations rolled in, New York Mayor Eric Adams was caught in the overwhelming wave. Significantly, these lawsuits have been filed under the Adult Survivors Act (ASA), a legislation that had a one-year look-back period. Within that period, the statute of limitations for adult sexual assault cases in New York was suspended. As a result, victims of sexual assault would be able to file lawsuits against their former abusers.
It also didn’t matter how long ago the incident happened. Explicitly, as long as the victim was 18 years or older at the time they were abused, they would be able to file a lawsuit under the ASA. The ASA was enacted on November 24, 2023, and expired exactly a year later, on November 24, 2024. However, before the deadline was reached, many women spoke up and sued their alleged abusers. After that, within a week, prominent figures, including Jamie Foxx, Andrew Cuomo, and Jimmy Iovine, were all hit with lawsuits. Mayor Eric Adams has since denied the allegations against him.
Mayor Eric Adams Accused Of Sexual Assault
On November 22, 2023, court filings accusing Eric Adams of sexual misconduct were submitted at the New York County Supreme Court. The accusations against the mayor were made by an unnamed woman who allegedly worked with him 30 years ago. The court filing explicitly states: “Plaintiff was sexually assaulted by Defendant Eric Adams in New York, New York in 1993 while they both worked for the City of New York.” Furthermore, NBC News reports that the court summons states that the woman “experienced sexual assault, battery, employment gender discrimination, retaliation, a hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”
Per USA Today, The New York City Police Department’s transit bureau and the Guardians Association of the NYPD are also listed as defendants in the legal filings. Additionally, three other unidentified entities are also listed as defendants. As a matter of fact, the ASA allows institutions that harbored abusers to be listed as defendants. Before becoming mayor, Eric Adams worked as an officer in the NYPD for 22 years.
Therefore, the plaintiff is within her rights to list the aforementioned NYPD institutions as defendants. Adams began serving as a transit officer in the department but eventually rose in the ranks and became a captain. Subsequently, he also became the head of the aforementioned Guardians Association.
While it’s now apparent where Adams worked in 1993, it remains unknown in what capacity the woman worked for New York. She may have been a colleague of Adams’s in the department. However, unless she eventually confirms that, we will remain in the dark about how exactly she worked with the mayor. In the meantime, we know that the plaintiff seeks at least $5 million in damages, according to CNN’s report.
The Response
.@NYCMayor responds to the sexual assault allegations claim that was filed yesterday against him – he says that he doesn’t recall ever meeting this person and that people know his character -that he would never do something like that
Since the accusations were made against him, Mayor Eric Adams has strongly denied the claims. “That is not who I am, and that is not who I’ve ever been in my professional life. It’s just something that never took place,” he said in a video posted by a Fox 5 New York reporter on X.
Additionally, a City Hall spokesperson also promptly addressed the allegations against the mayor. On November 23, 2023, they told CNN, “The mayor does not know who this person is. If they ever met, he doesn’t recall it. But he would never do anything to physically harm another person and vigorously denies any such claim.”
Hollywood superstar Jamie Foxx has found himself caught in the web of the Adult Survivors Act (ASA). Between his unspecified medical emergency earlier in the year, and the lawsuit he now faces, Foxx has certainly had a turbulent 2023. Without a doubt, the ASA has shaken up the entertainment, sports, and even the country’s political industry. The legislation was enacted on November 24, 2022, and is meant to last a one-year period. Within that time, victims of sexual assault would be able to file a lawsuit against their alleged abusers. As long as they were 18 or older at the time of their abuse claims, they could sue their alleged abusers no matter how long ago they were abused.
Notably, over 2,500 lawsuits were filed under the ASA while it was active. However, there was a noticeable surge in the number of lawsuits filed within the act’s final weeks. Celebrities and politicians, including Cuba Gooding Jr., Jimmy Iovine, and Andrew Cuomo, among others, were hit with lawsuits. Jamie Foxx, too, was accused of sexual misconduct under the ASA before it expired. Foxx has since denied the claims.

On November 22, 2023, two days before the ASA’s deadline, Foxx was sued for sexual assault by an anonymous woman. The complaint was filed at the New York Supreme Court and alleges that the victim was assaulted at a rooftop bar in 2015. In detail, the incident allegedly happened at Catch NYC in August 2015, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. The lawsuit details the events of that night, and how the actor allegedly sexually assaulted the victim.
The woman has chosen to remain anonymous and will be referred to as Jane Doe. The suit alleges that she saw Mark Birnbaum, a co-founder of the establishment, having drinks with Foxx “one table away.” Afterward, at approximately 1:00 a.m., she claims to have walked up to the actor, accompanied by her friend, to ask for pictures with him. According to the suit, he replied, “Sure baby, anything for you,” after which he took “several photographs” with her.
The Incident

The suit contains claims from the alleged victim that Jamie Foxx “seemed intoxicated.” According to the document, he began to make moves on Jane Doe. She claims that he passed several comments, including “Wow, you have that supermodel body,” “You smell so good,” and “You look like Nickie.” He allegedly clarified that “Nickie” was Gabrielle Union after Doe asked him who that was.
In time, Foxx allegedly grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to the back area of the rooftop bar. She said that it was at this back area that Jamie Foxx sexually assaulted her. As soon as they reached a secluded area, Foxx “placed both of his hands on her waist, moved them under her ‘crop top’ and began rubbing her breasts,” alleges the court filing. While Jane Doe claims she attempted to step away, she alleges that the actor proceeded to slide his hands into her pants. Furthermore, she claims she noticed a security guard “some distance away who saw what was happening but walked further away.”

In addition, she claims that when Foxx slid his hands into her pants, her friend came outside. Afterward, he allegedly stopped and walked towards the aforementioned security guard. In the lawsuit, the woman claims to have required medical treatment and advice. She was allegedly “injured [and] was rendered sick, sore, lame and disabled.” Furthermore, she alleges that she “was unable to pursue her usual and regular activities.” It also claims that she has had “to undergo great conscious pain.” Finally, the suit states that she “will permanently be affected by the injuries and emotional distress she incurred as a result.”
Additionally, she claims it caused her “severe emotional distress and anxiety, humiliation, embarrassment, post-traumatic stress disorder and other physical and emotional damages.” The suit alleges that Birnbaum and Catch’s employees “had knowledge of Foxx’s propensities for aggressive behavior towards females.” Furthermore, it was alleged that they also knew Foxx’s “bad disposition when consuming excessive alcohol.” Following the filing of the lawsuit against Jamie Foxx, the woman is now seeking unspecified damages.
A Spokesperson For Jamie Foxx Addresses The Lawsuit
Soon after the lawsuit was filed, a representative of the Oscar-winning actor refuted the accusations in a statement. “The alleged incident never happened. In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. That case was dismissed shortly thereafter. The claims are no more viable today than they were then. We are confident they will be dismissed again. And once they are, Mr. Foxx intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against this person and her attorneys for re-filing this frivolous action.”
Subsequently, Jane Doe’s representative, Michael S. Lamonsoff responded as well. In a statement of his own, he stated, “Our client and our firm will not be intimidated by Jamie Foxx’s age-old tactic of lies and threats against survivors of sexual assault,” he said. “Thankfully, the ASA was passed, allowing our client to demand accountability for the abuse and mental anguish she had endured since the time of this heinous assault.”
In the latest twist of legal drama, veteran music executive Jimmy Iovine has been hit with a summons for sexual abuse and harassment allegations by an anonymous accuser going by “Jane Doe.” The legal document was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County. It claims that the accuser endured sexual abuse, forcible touching, and harassment, allegedly occurring around August 2007. However, while the court documents remain tight-lipped about the explicit details of the allegations, they assert that the accuser suffered as a result of actions that violated anti-discrimination laws.
Moreover, a spokesperson for Jimmy Iovine responded to the bombshell accusations, expressing shock and confusion. “We are quite shocked and baffled by this alleged claim,” the spokesperson stated to Rolling Stone. “No one has ever made a claim like this against Jimmy Iovine, nor have we been contacted or made aware of any complaint by anyone, including this unknown plaintiff prior to now.”
Jimmy Iovine Is The Latest Filing In A Series Of Lawsuits

Moreoever, this summons is the latest in a series of high-profile lawsuits filed under the Adult Survivors Act. The deadline is set to close out Friday. The Act created a one-year window for abuse victims to file cases beyond the statute of limitations. This allows individuals who were at least 18 years old at the time of the alleged abuse to seek justice. Moreover, in recent weeks, the music industry has seen a surge in legal action. There’s been several suits targeting prominent figures such as Sean “Diddy” Combs (settled within a day), L.A. Reid, Neil Portnow, and, as of Wednesday, Axl Rose and Cuba Gooding Jr.
However, the wave of allegations sheds light on a shift in the entertainment landscape. As survivors come forward to hold powerful figures accountable. Moreover, as the legal battle unfolds, the music industry is left to grapple with the fallout of these allegations against one of its key players. Whether Iovine’s case follows a similar pattern of quick resolution or takes a different turn, it adds another layer to the ongoing conversation about accountability and justice within the entertainment world. Stay tuned to HNHH for details.
