Madonna Sued Over On-Stage Sexual Content During Her Recent Tour

by

Last year, Madonna took off on her Celebration Tour. The show was fittingly a celebration of her decades-long career of making hits and evolving his style. The tour was a major attraction for fans both old and new, but it almost didn’t happen in the first place. As the start of the tour was approaching the pop legend had a major health scare that put the whole thing in jeopardy. But she reportedly worked hard to make her way back to a level where she could perform and rescheduled dates she missed.

The impressive feat she accomplished might be slightly undermined by a new lawsuit. According to TMZ a fan who saw her on tour is trying to take the pop icon to court over the sexual content displayed on stage during the performance. The lawsuit claims that she wasn’t clear enough with fans about the erotic content that would be on display. The suit is seeking payout for the price of the tickets and profit that she made off of the shows. Check out the full details of the suit below.

Fan Has Some Big Complaints About Madonna’s Tour

One of the most memorable moments on the Celebration tour came back in March. That was when the singer was joined on stage by Cardi B for a particularly raunchy edition of her 1990 smash hit “Vogue.” Last year the pop legend teamed up with The Weeknd and Playboi Carti for the hit song “Popular.” The song was part of a series of soundtrack releases for the Weeknd affiliated show The Idol which aired on HBO last year and was met with harsh criticism. Earlier this year the song finally got a music video staring all three of its collaborators.

What do you think of a fan attempting to sue Madonna over the sexual content of her recent Celebration tour? Do you think they have any chance of getting an actual payout as a result of the suit? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy’s Sean John Eyeglasses Brand Dropped By Major Retailer

by

It’s been a difficult year for Diddy, one that’s led many people and brands to cut ties with him entirely. Even for those that have been completely silent or even defenders of the legendary rap figure they recently hit a point of no return. That came earlier this month when CNN leaked a video of hotel security footage. In the clip the rap mogul appears to assault Cassie in full view of the camera, something she first accused him of in a lawsuit last year. In fact, her lawsuit served as the beginning of the recent series of trouble for Diddy.

While many have focused on the social repercussions he’s faced from various members of the music industry he’s collaborated with in the past decades, that isn’t all he’s dealing with. There’s also been a consistent undertone of business connections deteriorating, something he’s once again facing today. According to TMZ one of the major retailers for glasses, America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses is severing their ties with him. A representative for the company confirmed that they will no longer be carrying glasses from Diddy’s Sean John brand. Check out the full statement they gave below.

Diddy Suffers Another Business Loss

The consequences have been coming fast for Diddy in recent weeks. A push had been made recently for his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame to be removed. But over the weekend an insider alleged that his star can’t actually be removed. Fellow celebrities have reacted to the video and his subsequently maligned apology by unfollowing him on social media. LeBron James and Yung Miami are two of the most relevant celebs to unfollow the rap mogul on Instagram recently. While all of this has been going on he’s still subject to an ongoing investigation by the federal government into allegations of sex trafficking.

What do you think of Diddy suffering further business consequences as a result of the leaked video of him allegedly assaulting Cassie? Do you think he’ll ultimately face any legal consequences as a result of his actions? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nas Tapped As Potential Recipient Of The Key To New York City If It’s Revoked From Diddy

by

Having the key to New York City rescinded from him wouldn’t come close to the biggest problems Diddy is facing right now. The rap mogul has faced months of lawsuits leveling pretty serious accusations of bad behavior across decades. Just this week yet another lawsuit was filed against him. The newest includes claims that he drugged and sexually assaulted a model. Over the weekend, hotel security footage was leaked by CNN that shows Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie. The video backed up claims made by Cassie in a lawsuit filed late last year.

Now that the controversy has built up, fans online are calling for various boycotts of Diddy. Recently, exercise equipment company Peloton announced they would be removing his music from all future classes they put out. There’s also been plenty of pressure applied by both fans and even members of government themselves for the rap mogul’s key to the city to be revoked. When TMZ spoke to come representatives about it, a different rap figure from the city’s history emerged as a potential replacement, Nas. Diddy first received the key to the city last year, just a few months before the lawsuit filed by Cassie dropped.

Nas Suggested As Alternate To Diddy For Key To New York City

Nas just wrapped up a prolific 4 years run of new albums produced by Hit-Boy. The pair released an impressive 6 albums together in that span across two different trilogies. Magic 2 and Magic 3 dropped last year concluding their work together. Nas has continued to share new music videos from the two albums into this year. He also recently revealed a special orchestra show to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his debut album Illmatic.

Do you think that the city of New York should rescind Diddy’s key following the leaked footage of him allegedly assaulting Cassie? Do you think Nas is the best replacement if the key is eventually rescinded? Let us know in the comment section below.

50 Cent Mocks TMZ After Selling Diddy Docuseries To Netflix

by

50 Cent had a busy May 21. The rapper has had a field day with the downfall of his fellow NY mogul, Diddy. He not only made fun of Diddy on social media, but he secured distribution for his anticipated documentary series on the mogul’s various crimes. The docuseries, tentatively titled Diddy Do It, was bought by Netflix after a lengthy bidding war. A bidding war that 50 celebrated by poking fun at TMZ.

TMZ broke the news of the Netflix acquisition. They claimed that multiple networks and virtually all the streaming platforms were trying to purchase the docuseries, given how much attention the Diddy saga had gotten in the last few months. “[The] new Diddy docuseries will hit the streamer sooner than later,” the outlet added. 50 Cent’s decision to go with Netflix makes perfect sense, given the success that the platform has had with other true crime shows.

50 Cent Claimed His Diddy Series Is Better Than TMZ’s

The rapper did not appreciate TMZ’s coverage of the story, however. He reposted a screenshot of the article on his Instagram and noted that the outlet used a photo of him when he was noticeably heavier. His theory? TMZ is salty because they recently put a Diddy documentary of their own: The Downfall of Diddy. “TMZ use this fat boy picture of me because their doc went to Tubi LOL,” he wrote on IG. “It’s ok guys we’re all making good television mines just happens to be the best.”

50 Cent went on note that he may have to produce more episodes of his docuseries if more harrowing Diddy allegations surface. “Netflix wins the bidding war but if more victims keep coming out I’m gonna need more episodes,” he added. This Instagram post comes only a few hours after the rapper reacted to the latest assault claims leveled at Diddy. A former model named Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit against Diddy for an alleged 2003 incident, and 50 once again blasted the Bad Boy founder. “This my last puffy post I think he might kill himself,” he wrote. “I don’t want no parts of that.” The rapper later deleted the post.

Diddy’s Case Could Be Harmed By Leaked Cassie Video, According To Ex-Prosecutor

by

Over the weekend a leaked video of Diddy became a lightning rod for reactions from the rap media at large. That’s because the clip showed hotel security camera footage of the rap mogul allegedly assaulting Cassie. It corroborated allegations that she first made in a lawsuit filed against the rap mogul last year. Though the suit was settled quickly, it became the first in a series of lawsuits filed alleging decades of bad behavior. The most notable was Lil Rod’s lawsuit filed in February which made some pretty outlandish claims related to some other celebs.

Much more pressing for Diddy himself though is the federal investigation into allegations of sex trafficking against him. It first became public knowledge back in March when the Feds raided two of his properties in Miami and LA. In response to the new video, TMZ recruited an expert in former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky. She discussed the implications of the new video on the investigation into the rapper by the federal government. While she clarified that it isn’t a “smoking gun” for the specific investigation he’s facing, it won’t do him any favors both in the public eye and in the still very much ongoing investigation. Check out everything she had to say below.

Ex-Federal Prosecutor Discusses Leaked Diddy Video

The new video of Diddy has sparked numerous intense reactions from various figures in the rap world. Charlamagne The God didn’t mince words when he dismantled the rap mogul’s apology, calling it dishonest. Aubrey O’Day similarly held onto receipts of a previously pinned post on Diddy’s Instagram. His previous complete denial of the allegations before there was video evidence contrasts harshly with his apology.

What do you think of the ex-federal prosecutors claim that the video of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie won’t bury him, but is still a very bad look? What kind of consequences, if any, do you think he will face for all of the recent drama? Let us know in the comment section below.

Derek Chauvin Facing $9 Million Lawsuit From Excessive Force Claim Predating George Floyd’s Death

by

It’s been a few years since Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd. He was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. The charges came from an incident in 2020 where he used excessive force that resulted in the tragic death of Floyd. His death served as an inciting incident sparking protests all across America against police violence and lack of accountability. Now according to a new lawsuit, it may not have been the first time Chauvin used similar excessive force on someone.

According to TMZ, a lawsuit filed by a woman named Patricia Dawn Welch Day cites similar use of excessive force as what would go on to happen to Floyd. She accuses Chauvin and another officer named Ellen Jensen of using unnecessary force on her during a 2020 incident. She claims she was violently removed from her car with no cause and thrown to the ground where she sustained multiple injuries. After that, she alleges she was handcuffed and Chauvin placed his knee on her back. The lawsuit describes the action as similar to what would ultimately end George Floyd’s life.

The lawsuit also takes aim at the Minneapolis Police Department. The MPD have been subject of tons of controversy both before Floyd’s murder and since. The lawsuit alleges that there was body cam footage verifying Day’s claims but that the department ignored it. Their overlooking of the evidence allowed the officers to continue working and eventually led to the death of George Floyd. She’s seeking $9 million from both officers in the case. That’s in addition to compensatory and punitive damages of an unknown amount.

What do you think of Derek Chauvin facing a $9 million lawsuit for allegedly similar behavior to what he later did to George Floyd? Do you believe the claims in the lawsuit from just a few months before Floyd’s death? Let us know in the comment section below.

Common Explains Why He Won’t Watch Diddy And Cassie Video

by

Everyone in the rap world is discussing the newly leaked Diddy and Cassie video, at least, almost everyone is. Over the weekend CNN shared a difficult to watch new clip of hotel security camera footage showing the rap mogul allegedly assaulting Cassie. The video mirrored allegations that Cassie made last year when she sued Diddy, which served as the first of multiple lawsuits that emerged against him in the months following. But not everyone is following the developments so closely.

Recently. TMZ caught up with Common where they asked him a few questions. He kicked the interaction off with an expert dodging of some proposal questions, instead promoting his upcoming album with Pete Rock which is coming this summer. For their next question, the interviewers just assume that he’s been following the developing situation surrounding Diddy. But the “GO!” rapper actually clarifies that he hasn’t seen the video yet. He reveals that he avoids things with negative vibes and instead chooses to focus on positivity. When asked if Diddy should get another chance in music, he pretty humbly suggests that it isn’t his place to judge and that he has no authority on the situation. Check out his full interview below.

Common Isn’t Here For Negative Vibes

Though Common isn’t engaging with the Diddy situation directly, plenty of others are. That’s included numerous incredibly strongly-worded refutations of his apology in particular. Aubrey O’Day has been one of the loudest critics of Diddy and she unsurprisingly had thoughts on his apology. She called is dishonest and pointed out his complete denial of the claims made by Cassie back when there was no video evidence. Charlamagne The God made similar claims about the authenticity of the feelings going into his apology.

What do you think of Common avoiding watching the Diddy and Cassie video that the rap world has been talking about altogether? Do you agree with his philosophy to only focus on things that are bringing a positive energy? Let us know in the comment section below.

Eminem Enjoys A Dance With His Daughter Hailie At Her Wedding

by

Eminem appears to be close to re-entering the public light in a major way. The rapper hasn’t released a new studio album since 2020 when he dropped Music To Be Murdered By. He followed the album up later that year with a deluxe edition adding numerous B-sides. Since then he’s continued to drop supplementary material like a second greatest hits album and deluxe editions of projects like The Eminem Show and The Marshall Mathers LP 2. But that all changed last month when he announced the release of a new project later this year.

The record is called The Death Of Slim Shady and fans are expecting to hear it at some point this year. Since the announcement news about the album has come from a variety of places. 50 Cent confirmed that the album would be handled by Dr. Dre on production, something that delighted long-time fans of Em and Dre’s collabs. There was also an obituary for the character of Slim Shady published in a Detroit newspaper further teasing the album’s concept. But in the midst of a swirl of music-related news, Em also had some personal matters to attend to, most notably his daughters wedding.

Will Smith’s Security Forced To Call Police On Trespasser At His Los Angeles Home

by

Will Smith has been subject to a variety of stories both very good and very bad in the past few years, notably sometimes even on the same night. But he’s also subject to a bizarrely common problem for celebrities, trespassers. Stories of overzealous fans getting a bit too close to celebrity residences pop up with surprisingly often. In fact, this isn’t even the first time the Smith family has dealt with something similar recently. At a different house back in February two men allegedly climbed onto Jada Pinkett-Smith’s balcony which resulted in another phone call to police.

This time as TMZ reports, it was much less dramatic. Smith himself didn’t have to make the call as he reportedly wasn’t even at the residence at the time of this newest incident. Smith’s security team was forced to call the police twice for a man hovering around his premises. As TMZ reports, the man was reportedly asking for somebody who didn’t live at the residence in the first place. After he disappeared following the first call to the police he returned and somehow gained access to the premises before being detained and arrested. The scary incident reportedly ended in a misdemeanor trespassing charge for the man responsible.

Man Arrested For Trespassing On Will Smith’s Property

Last month, Smith made a pretty surprising appearance. Him being at Coachella isn’t on its own that surprising, but fans watching J BALVIN’s set certainly weren’t expecting him. Even more surprising was that he brought out his Men In Black soundtrack song alongside a bizarre stage display with alien backup dancers. He’s been hard at work on Bad Boys 4 which is currently still in production.

What do you think of Smith’s security having to call the police on a trespasser just a few months after Jada experienced a similar incident? What did you think of his surprise appearance at this year’s Coachella alongside J BALVIN? Let us know in the comment section below.
