UNSTOPPABLE Archives - New Hip Hop News

Jennifer Lopez dodged a question about her ex, Diddy, while signing autographs for fans in promotion of her new film, Unstoppable, over the weekend. In a video published by The Daily Mail, a fan asked Lopez about the allegations stemming from Diddy’s recent arrest for charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering.

“J.Lo, do you have any comments about Diddy and the allegations?” they asked after a screening of her new film at AFI FEST 2024. From there, the vibes shifted and she left as one fan shouted, “Don’t leave.” It isn’t the first time she’s dodged the topic either. As caught by Page Six, she avoided questions about her ex when Papparazi ran into her outside of a dinner with her manager, Benny Medina, on October 19.

Lopez and Diddy dated from 1999 through 2001. She previously described the relationship as “emotionally exhausting” during an interview with Vanity Fair in 2011. “We broke up many times (before that) and got back together and broke up again, and nobody knew about it,” she told the outlet. “It was very tempestuous. Towards the end, it was emotionally exhausting. It was good that I was young.”

Check out the clip of Lopez dodging questions about Diddy below. It comes as Diddy remains behind bars in Brooklyn while awaiting trial. He’s already pleaded not guilty in the case and denied all of the allegations he’s faced. “Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” his lawyer, Erica Wolff, said in a recent statement. “He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Jennifer Lopez and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Since last year’s deal between Aaliyah’s original label, Blackground Records, and EMPIRE was inked, fans are finally getting their long-awaited wish of her music on streaming services. Blackground is owned by her uncle Barry Hankerson, who also happens to own the rights to all of the late R&B singer’s back catalog masters.

Through this partnership, the track “Poison” featuring The Weeknd was released last month and is slated to be on Aaliyah’s posthumous album, Unstoppable. At press time, the track has already clocked over 5 million Spotify spins and Hankerson is clearly pleased with this. “One of the songs that’s out now is doing incredibly well. And that’s the song that she did with Weeknd [“Poison,”] he said in an interview on The Geno Jones Show. He then further elaborated that the new album is coming this month and that it’ll feature some very big names. “Because of that success, we think it’ll only get better with people such as Ne-Yo and Snoop Dogg, Future, and Drake — one of her biggest fans. Those are the features that’ll be on the record and that’ll be out in January.”

Aaliyah’s music coming to streaming services hasn’t come without controversy. Aaliyah’s estate, which is not affiliated with Hankerson, has noted that several of the artists involved with her back catalog will not see profits under the deal between Blackground and EMPIRE. It raises an issue for fans who are surely happy to have Aaliyah’s music at their fingertips but then have to ask themselves, whether this is the way they wanted it to happen. Regardless, Unstoppable is officially set to drop later this month.
