April 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J discussed the lack of public support for Diddy during a recent interview with TMZ at LAX. In doing so, he labeled the allegations against the Bad Boy mogul a “big question mark” and explained his associates want to know the full extent of the situation before speaking on it.

“I think a lot of people are just trying to understand it, understand what is and what’s not. It’s still a big question mark. Pray for everybody though. Prayers go up for everybody.” When asked about attending Diddy’s parties and whether he saw anything questionable, or whether he thinks the allegations stem from other “after parties,” Ray J pled the fifth. From there, he discussed his newest venture, Tronix Network.

As for questions about the lack of support from Diddy’s friends, Boosie Badazz recently brought up that topic on social media. “I don’t hear none of them n***as that was toasting at Diddy’s with that champagne every year, having speeches with mane, nobody speak up for this mane or nothing,” Boosie said. “When you on top of the world, it’s a celebration. When you on the bottom, it’s a denial-ation. All of them muthaf***as all with their suits on, and their cups up. Ain’t nobody saying nothing. Boy this world, boy.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Ray J on HotNewHipHop.

50 Cent Isn’t Actually Being Considered To Replace Diddy As The Face Of Ciroc

April 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent and Diddy have been linked to each other for months now. That’s because as soon as the Cassie lawsuit broke last year, 50 began trolling Diddy on Instagram. That trolling hasn’t let up for a second ever since. As a flood of new lawsuits and eventually a raid by the federal government followed, 50 continued posting about the rap mogul nearly every day uninterrupted. That’s even applied to other people mentioned in the various lawsuits like Stevie J and Daphne Joy.

That’s why it’s not surprising that the pair have been connected in other ways too. Rumors have swirled about 50 potentially replacing Diddy as the face of Ciroc, the rap mogul’s alcohol brand. Diddy and the brand cut ties with each other earlier this year following a lawsuit last year. Despite the rumors swimming around the brand just confirmed that there’s no legitimacy to any of it. They reached out to TMZ to confirm that the rumors were completely untrue. Check out their full statement denying the allegations below.

Just a few days ago, 50 joined Nicki Minaj on stage for a pair of shows on her Pink Friday 2 tour.

He got some flack from fans for his outfit during an appearance at the D.C. show, which they claimed was a throwback to the 2000s. 50 will get a chance to redeem himself in terms of fashion at Dreamville this weekend.

Stevie J Compares Diddy’s House Raid To El Chapo & Osama Bin Laden

April 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Stevie J says the use of police force during Homeland Security’s raids on Diddy’s properties was comparable to the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. He detailed being inside the Miami home at the time during an interview with TMZ published on Tuesday. He began by claiming that he’s never witnessed Diddy doing anything for which he is accused.

“I was at his crib in his studio,” Stevie said, referring to Diddy’s mansion in Miami. “I was sitting outside the studio door and I heard a big ‘Boom!’ I’ve witnessed some historical events of excessive force but none like this. Since Saddam Hussein or El Chapo or Pablo Escobar… even Osama Bin Laden. I heard a big boom … I heard it again. Turn my head I’m hearing, ‘Doo-doo-doo-doo.’ Three big armored vehicles come, dudes jump out. I got 50 dots on my shirt screaming, ‘Get on the fucking ground.’ They took me outside, I asked to speak to the higher-ups, asked who was under arrest and they said, ‘No, you’re being detained.’ ‘I want to speak to the higher-ups.’ They said, ‘No, you’re not [under arrest], we’ll let you go.’”

Elsewhere in the interview, he brought up 50 Cent and the G-Unit rapper’s continuous posting about Diddy. “Uncle Tom cats like that. Now you wanna put me– I don’t know if y’all saw the post 50 posted about me. Of course you guys saw that,” he said. “You can’t brush under the rug– I don’t see anybody reporting about what Tatted Up Holly said about him beating her up and about these other baby mommas, beating her up. I just look at it as, he wants to bring the Black community down worse than anyone else.” He also brought up his previous offer to fight 50 for charity.

Diddy Hits Up Top Golf With His Family Despite Police Raids

March 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week the dam finally broke for Diddy and it’s been a continuous cycle of bad news ever since. After months of allegations and accusations of decades of bad behavior were levelled against the rap mogul through various lawsuits, that stakes were significantly raised. At the start of the week the feds raided two of the rapper’s properties, something they later confirmed was in relation to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

Additionally, celebrities from across the entertainment spectrum have been reacting to the news and some have even promised Diddy stories of their own will be revealed. But the man himself seems to be trying to play it as cool as possible. TMZ spotted him out and about in Miami with his twin daughters where they hit up Top Golf to get some swings in. He’s bouncing around the same city where his residency was just raided and one of his associates arrested following his plane being intercepted. In a picture outside the venue Diddy throw up some casual peace signs. Check out the pictures below.

TMZ is also reporting that the investigation is turning towards private jet companies next. They reportedly want to know who Diddy flew where and speak to many of those passengers. In the days following the raids there’s been a ton of rampant speculation and rumor spreading online. Some of which has even come from updates to producer Lil Rod’s lawsuit against the rap mogul.

After he added an amendment to his original lawsuit making claims about Yung Miami, her team shut it down quickly. They brought out the receipts of where she was at the time of the allegations. The City Girls rapper was getting fitted for her elaborate MET Gala dress. What do you think of Diddy casually hitting up Top Golf just days after the feds raided his homes? Do you think any kind of arrest will spawn from the current federal government investigation? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy Associate Body Cam Arrest Footage Leaks Online

March 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a flurry of breaking news stories for Diddy all week. While the biggest is likely the fact that two of his properties were raided by the federal government, his plane was also intercepted while in Miami. The rapper was reportedly traveling with his own children and various members of his entourage. One of the members in that entourage, Brendan Paul, was arrested by police. He was hit with two charges, possession of cocaine and possession of suspected marijuana candy both of which are felonies in Florida.

Now just a few days later body cam footage of the arrest has made it’s way online. TMZ shared the footage which features Paul complying with officers and saying absolutely nothing. Afterwards he was taken to jail but has since been released on bond. It’s another surprising piece of footage from the Diddy drama this week. Just yesterday footage of one of his residencies after the police raid made its way online. The clip showed the contents of dozens of drawers and cabinets thrown onto the floor. Check out the newly released body cam footage below.

Body Cam Footage Of Diddy Associate Brendan Paul’s Arrest

Diddy himself has been relatively quiet throughout this busy week so far. Footage leaked yesterday of him pacing around Miami airport, seemingly with a lot on his mind. Subsequently, he made a statement via a lawyer calling the raids a gross over-use of military force. It’s unclear at the moment if they found what they were expecting to in the raid. But they did reportedly take electronics from the residences that are likely to be searched as part of the investigation. They also announced that the raids were in connection with an investigation into sex trafficking.

What do you think of the newly released body cam footage of one of Diddy’s associates being arrested at the Miami airport? Do you think the federal government investigation will result in the rap mogul being arrested as well? Let us know in the comment section below.

They also reported that electronics were seized during the raid which could potentially contain evidence for the investigation against the rapper.

There have been a variety of reactions from around the rap world to the raids. Some feel like it is overdue justice following all of the recent allegations made against Diddy.

Diddy Reportedly Sells Remaining Revolt TV Shares Amid Home Raid

March 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, rap fans were stunned to find their timelines full of videos of the feds raiding Diddy’s homes in both Los Angeles and Miami. It felt like the culmination of months of lawsuits and accusations made against the rap mogul finally coming to fruition. Overnight cameras caught his sons King and Justin pulling up to his LA mansion to pack up their belongings from the residence and take off. The rap mogul himself was spotted in Miami earlier today for the first time since the raids, but that doesn’t mean he’s not keeping busy.

As TMZ learned earlier today, Diddy has sold off all his shares in a company he founded amid the raids. That company is Revolt TV, the network that he co-founded in 2013 in an attempt to advance black culture. He stepped down from his role in the company last year, so for some his sale of the shares isn’t all that surprising. Sources can’t confirm the sum of money that the shares were sold for or who specifically they were sold to but does confirm that the company will remain black-owned.

Diddy Sells Revolt TV Shares

New details are emerging about the raids that were executed yesterday. Reports claim that Diddy himself had no idea that they were coming. He was allegedly with his family while they were being executed. Other reports claim that the feds seized electronics from his properties. The raids were reportedly in connection with an investigation into allegations of sex trafficking against the rap mogul.

Unsurprisingly, dozens of celebrities have weighed in on the news since it first broke yesterday. That includes some who claim that the raid is a long overdue reckoning with Diddy’s actions. But there are others who are calling him a scapegoat. What do you think of Diddy selling off his shares in Revolt TV just a day after his properties were raided by the feds? Do you think the sale has anything to do with the raids? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy’s Two Sons Gather Their Belongings From Recently Raided Mansion

March 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, one of the most shocking stories of 2024 so far broke. That came when reports flooded in that Diddy’s mansions in both Los Angeles and Miami were being raided by the federal government simultaneously. They were reportedly raided in connection to an investigation over sex trafficking allegations. It comes after months of accusations leveled against the rap mogul in various lawsuits dating back decades.

As you’d expect paparazzi have been keeping their eyes on the mansions since then and they’ve spotted two familiar faces at the Los Angeles residence. TMZ reports that Diddy’s sons King and Justin both stopped by the LA mansion overnight. First came Justin who reportedly gathered his belongings, packed them into a car, and took off. They also report that a couple hours later King arrived and did the exact same thing packing up his belongings and taking off. Check out some of the videos they took below.

Diddy’s Sons Picking Up Their Things From His Mansion

After the raids yesterday, fans online were curious what Yung Miami was up to. The City Girls rapper has been dating Diddy since last year, but took to Twitter to both confirm she’s doing fine and that she seemingly wasn’t anywhere near the raids when they happened. That didn’t stop people talking about Miami though. Streamer DJ Akademiks tried to restart his beef with the rapper by claiming that she snitched on her rapper boyfriend and was somehow the cause of the raids. As you’d expect there’s no evidence of any kind that the claim is true.

Another person who has re-emerged in the wake of the raids is 50 Cent. The rapper has posted about Diddy near-constantly on his Instagram story for months dating back to the original allegations. What do you think of Diddy’s sons picking up their belongings from the rap mogul’s recently raided mansion? Do you think the feds found any incriminating evidence in their raids? Let us know in the comment section below.
