by

A video of Rosie O’Donnell trolling Diddy for his 1999 arrest in New York City from the 2000 Grammys is recirculating on social media in the wake of the 14-page federal indictment he now faces. In the clip, the comedian jokes about him ending up behind bars while speaking with TLC’s Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.

“Wanna hear a joke I have? Ready? This is good. See if you like it,” O’Donnell began. “Lot of multiple nominees, multiple Grammy nominees, this year. Lauryn Hill’s got four, TLC’s got eight, and Sean Combs – five to 10. Get it? Like, he’s going to jail?” The members of TLC then burst into laughter, which prompted O’Donnell to add: “I don’t mean to be mean, because, I mean, he’s a nice guy and he can really sing sing. Oops!” Diddy was eventually found not guilty on all charges from 1999, however, authorities arrested him again for separate charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, earlier this month.

Speaking with TMZ, his attorney confirmed that he won’t be pursuing a plea deal and instead plans to argue his case in court. “It’s not up to me. It’s up to Mr. Combs, and I don’t see it happening because he believes he’s innocent,” Attorney Marc Agnifilo told the outlet. “He believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself (but) his family and for everybody who’s been targeted by the federal government. He feels an obligation to those people to say, ‘You know what? Maybe I can break the model. Maybe I can show the world that a Black man can win in federal court.’ And I think he might be the only person I know of to be able to accomplish that.”

50 Cent Clowns Meek Mill For Offering $100K To Get To The Bottom Of Diddy Rumors

by

In Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy, he alleged that the mogul had a sexual relationship with a “Philadelphia Rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.” Unsurprisingly, social media users were quick to jump to conclusions and speculate that the rapper was Meek Mill. He’s been getting clowned online over the alleged fling ever since, despite denying it.

Earlier this week, Meek took to Twitter/X with a proposal for whatever investigators might be able to reveal why his name keeps getting roped in with Diddy’s. “I wanna hire an investigative team 100k cash to find out every specific detail involving meek mill name to ‘Diddy’ Case,” he wrote. “I also want them to look at who is powering the media involving ‘meek’ anything to do with buddy! ‘Something not right.’”

50 Cent Continues To Troll Diddy & Meek Mill With Bizarre Deepfake Video

He continued, questioning whether or not there’s some sort of conspiracy at play. “The streets know wassup with me thats not the case,” he explained. “We talking about business side ,somebody powering these bad campaigns [shrug emoji] with ‘meeek mill’ again I got 100k for a thorough investigation of who’s powering and how exactly my name connect to this…” Unfortunately, Meek’s posts resulted in even more online trolling. 50 Cent, for example, took to social media last night with a bizarre deepfake.

“They been doing meek dirty, he want to pay 100k to find out who doing this. LOL http://gunitbrands.com,” he captioned the clip alongside a laughing emoji. What do you think of Meek Mill offering $100K to whoever’s willing to investigate what’s tying his name to Diddy’s? Do you blame him for wanting to get to the bottom of things? What about 50 Cent’s reaction to his proposal? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Candace Owens Claims “Gangster Rap” Was Created By Feds To “Destroy Black American Values”

by

Candace Owens shared a conspiratorial take on hip-hop and “gangster rap” on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, sparking passionate debate on social media. The conservative media pundit argued that the genre was created by the Feds to “destroy black American values.” Despite ample backlash online, she promised to never change her mind on the topic.

“Gangster rap was never black culture,” she began. “It was created by the Feds, who proferred deals to homosexual black men in prison and then turned them into artificial celebrities. The goal was to create false idols to destroy black American values. I will never change my mind on this.”

The topic eventually found its way to hip-hop legend Ice Cube, who wrote back on X: “We called it Reality Rap the industry coined it Gangsta Rap. The fans wanted gangsta rap and that’s what they got. The Feds didn’t write none of my sh*t. I’m a real MC.” In the replies, fans shared their support for Cube. One user posted: “I’m disinclined to trust govt or believe almost literally anything good about it – and I know how incompetent it is. Aint no way in hell a govt agent wrote literally any of your stuff I’ve ever heard. Far too intelligent.”

Candace Owens Criticizes Gangster Rap

The Weeknd responded to Nicki Minaj’s recent praise on X (formerly Twitter), earlier this week, after the rapper posted about his “sweet” falsetto. “How does The Weeknd still have that sweet young sounding falsetto?” Nicki wrote in one post. He replied with a number of heart emojis.

Despite her praise of The Weeknd, Nicki hasn’t been entirely positive on social media as of late. She’s called out JAY-Z on several occasions after the legendary rapper chose Kendrick Lamar to perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans. She thought the move was disrespectful to her longtime collaborator, Lil Wayne, who is from Louisiana. “Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego,” Minaj wrote on X, earlier this month. “Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?!!!!!! Eminem stood firm on having 50Cent come out. A white man. S*** sad. House N***** TINGZ. but it’s GOOD FI DEM!!!!!!! No loyalty?

Nicki Minaj says she still doesn’t have United States citizenship, despite moving to the country from Trinidad and Tobago as a child. Discussing the situation on TikTok Live, she complained about having paid millions of dollars in taxes to U.S., but still not having been given citizenship.

“I’m not a citizen of America. Isn’t that crazy?” she said. “I was born on a beautiful island called Trinidad and Tobago. But I’ve been in the States for many years.

Back in 2018, she reflected on coming to the country illegally as the Donald Trump administration detained immigrants at the border. “I came to this country as an illegal immigrant at 5 years old,” she revealed on Instagram at the time. “I can’t imagine the horror of being in a strange place and having my parents stripped away from me at the age of 5. This is so scary to me. Please stop this. Can you try to imagine the terror & panic these kids feel right now? Not knowing if their parents are dead or alive, if they’ll ever see them again… ”

Diddy’s Arrest Causes Explosion Of R Kelly Jokes On Social Media

R Kelly has been trending on social media on Tuesday following the bombshell arrest of Diddy in New York City. Users on social media have been comparing the allegations against both of the singers, as prosecutors released the 14-page federal indictment against Diddy. In it, they accuse him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking while detailing his alleged “freak off” parties.

On X (formerly Twitter), tons of users have been posting various memes about Kelly and Diddy while bringing other celebrities into the jokes as well. Jemele Hill took a more serious response to the trend, writing: “I know everybody is going to get these jokes off about Diddy, and by extension R Kelly, but think of the numerous Black women whose lives were ruined by these horrendous people. The narrative is not, another Black man got taken down — cause this ain’t got sh*t to do with Black men as a whole. The narrative is, thank God these women are finally getting the justice they deserve.”
