Diddy’s Assault Of Cassie Left Stevie J In Shock

November 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Stevie J says he was thrown for a loop by the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016, which CNN published for the first time, earlier this year. He reflected on seeing the footage for the first time and how he handled it during an interview with TMZ for the outlet’s docuseries, The Downfall of Diddy.

“It really threw me for a loop,” Stevie said. “I always think about and talk about things I know to be true about Sean Combs.” From there, he alleged that he spoke with Diddy about the incident afterward and the Bad Boy mogul said he was in a “dark place” at the time. “After I saw the video, I went and saw him in Miami and we had a conversation. And I let him know how affected I was by that. I didn’t know he had that in him to do that,” Stevie said. “I just know that he was in a dark place in his life, as he described to me. He was just doing a lot of drugs and it was just dark for him.”

Being in a “dark place” echoes comments Diddy made shortly after CNN first published the footage. “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” Diddy said in a video on social media. “I was f**ked up—I hit rock bottom—but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace.”

More recently, Diddy has been trying to get out of jail on bond after authorities arrested him on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, back in September. A decision on his latest try is expected at some point this week. If unsuccessful, he’ll be spending Thanksgiving behind bars. He’s already pleaded not guilty and denied all of the allegations against him.

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J is alleging that Diddy’s celebrity friends are paying alleged victims to keep their names out of any claims they’ve made against the Bad Boy mogul. Ray J made the allegations during an interview with TMZ for The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs.

“I’m hearing about artists paying victims to keep their name out of it,” Ray alleged to the outlet. When presented with the inverse situation, victims asking for money in exchange for their silence, Ray added: “Here’s the other way around that: I’ll give you money. Please don’t talk.” He also claimed that people keep calling him up because they “wanna tell me about certain things that happened with them and Diddy. They wanna talk to me about what happened to them. They call me, they feel like they can trust me.” He also said these alleged celebrities “had some affiliation with Diddy that they don’t want to come out, and they think [Ray J] might be the vessel for it coming out.”

Diddy Fires Back At Aubrey O’Day For “The Downfall Of Diddy” Allegations

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy has fired back at Aubrey O’Day for alleging that he only gave Bad Boy Records artists back their publishing rights in an attempt to silence them from speaking out about his behavior. O’Day spoke about the various allegations surrounding Diddy in recent months during an interview with TMZ for the outlet’s new Tubi documentary, The Downfall of Diddy.

In a statement to TMZ, sources from Diddy’s team wrote: “Aubrey O’Day got her big break because Diddy and Bad Boy cast her in their show with her group, Danity Kane. Last year, when he reassigned his portion of the publishing to Bad Boy artists, an unprecedented move within the industry and which he did not have to do, not all artists signed an NDA, contrary to what she claims.”

As for O’Day’s claims, she said during the documentary: “I received the publishing deal, I know what it says, I know how much money it was giving me. I’ll tell you: $300.30. For a full release of all claims against Diddy and many other players. I think he was making moves to keep as many people quiet as possible. When I went to look at the publishing deal, it said anything but I’m being made whole financially again. In fact, it asked me to not have access to my story and my experience anymore. It asked me specifically to stay silent and never speak poorly about a human.” Check out a trailer for The Downfall Of Diddy below.

Diddy previously explained his decision to let the Bad Boy artists get their publishing back during an appearance on The Breakfast Club in 2023. He remarked at the time: “You don’t have to make changes in the world, but if you have a chance to do the right thing, you do the right thing. That’s a world I want to live in. I want to be the change that I want.” As for the allegations he’s been facing, he’d denied all of the claims stemming from Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr.’s lawsuit and more. Police also have not charged him with any crimes. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy and Aubrey O’Day on HotNewHipHop.

Suge Knight Admits Diddy Allegations Are Bad For Hip-Hop: “It Makes Us All Look Bad”

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight says he was disappointed when he learned of the allegations against his long-time rival, Diddy. Speaking with Harvey Levin for TMZ’s new The Downfall of Diddy special on Tubi, the co-founder of Death Row Records explained why he wasn’t celebrating when he learned of the lawsuits Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr., Cassie, and more filed against the Bad Boy mogul.

“My first reaction, it’s not the reaction I thought I would have when it came to Puffy,” Knight said, as noted by Complex. “I thought it’d be a reaction like he got what he got coming because everybody know what’s been going on. My reaction was actually different because I felt like, damn. The first thing that came to my mind was he has his sons, he has his daughters. My reaction was first about the kids. The thing is, I feel it’s a bad day for hip-hop, a bad day for the culture. Because it makes us all look bad.”

When Harvey Levin appeared surprised about Knight’s reaction, he explained he doesn’t enjoy watching his enemies’ downfall. “I’m not the type of guy to cheer for people’s downfall,” he added. “If somebody gets killed or something happens to them, I’m not gonna pop champagne bottles. If I have a problem with Puffy, that’s for him and I to sit down in a room and resolve it. So for the tragedy on both sides, to the victims to him, that’s definitely not nothing to cheer about.” Check out the trailer for TMZ’s The Downfall of Diddy below.
