Bun B’s Trill Burgers Faces New $1M Lawsuit Over Allegedly Stolen Recipe

March 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bun B continues to reap the rewards of one of his most successful endeavors yet, a Houston hotspot called Trill Burgers. The restaurant is known for serving up some of the best smashburgers the city has to offer. According to two of its original co-founders, however, there’s more to Trill Burgers’ success than what meets the eye.

Brother and sister Patsy and Benson Vivares claim they were the real minds behind the restaurant’s famous burger recipe. Allegedly, they had been looking to expand the menu of their food truck Sticky’s Chicken to include new items in 2021. This is when they say they partnered with Andy Nguyen, another co-founder of Trill Burgers, to develop an original recipe for their signature smashburger. Allegedly, it was later trademarked as the “Trill Burger.”

“[The Vivareses] spent a lot of time and energy developing the recipe,” their lawyer Saad Aziz claims. “They are the ones who kind of came up with the specifics of the smashburger … Now called the OG Trill Burger.” The duo later teamed up with Bun B, who they say was supposed to help promote their new menu item. Eventually, he acted as the “face” of the iconic Trill Burger at pop-ups and beyond. They used earnings from the pop-ups to pay off debts at Sticky’s Chicken, which was suffering due to their focus on their new Trill Burgers endeavor.

The Vivareses insist all partners were aware that Trill Burgers’ earnings would be used to pay off their debts. They were later sued and accused of stealing $45K, however, after Bun B opened a permanent Trill Burgers location without them. What do you think of Bun B’s Trill Burgers being sued over an allegedly stolen recipe? Are you surprised?

March 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, Trippie Redd made an announcement that had both his fans and his haters pretty excited. He revealed that he was teaming up with Machine Gun Kelly, who is now going by mgk. The pair weren’t just dropping one song though, they were releasing an entire album together. The album is called GENRE: SADBOY and it’s due to arrive tomorrow, March 29. Both artists have a long history of dealing with their haters, but they probably weren’t expecting for one of the producers from the record to be one of them.

That was the case when someone tweeted that they got word one of their beats was used on the record but he wasn’t exactly excited by the opportunity. “the way I just learned I have a beat placement in this this morning and I know it’s bout to be the worst song I’ve ever heard” his tweet reads. Clearly that didn’t sit right with Trippie who claimed the producer was removed from the album entirely. “Thanks for letting me know. You have been removed from the album. Good luck” his response tweet read. Subsequently, that led to their pair going back and forth extensively on social media arguing about the album and the production. Check out where their interaction started below.

Trippie and mgk have already shared the first taste of the album with fans. Earlier this week they dropped the single “Lost Boys.” Additionally, the song confirmed much of the speculation about the albums direction towards emo and “sad boy” music. Unsurprisingly, it was met with mixed reviews from fans and haters of both divisive artists. The duo have crossed over multiple times on songs before. Most notably they teamed up for Trippie’s song “RED SKY” a few years ago.

What do you think of Trippie Redd beefing with one of the producers who worked on his new album on Twitter? Do you think he’s famous enough that he shouldn’t be bothered by it? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jussie Smollett To Appeal Staged Hate Crime Conviction In Illinois Supreme Court

March 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in 2021, California-born actor Jussie Smollett was convicted of five counts of disorderly conduct. He was charged for accusing two men of attacking him in Chicago, which was later found to be a hoax. Now, Smollett will have an opportunity to plead his case before the Illinois Supreme Court in an attempt to get his conviction overturned.

Smollett has previously argued that he shouldn’t face further prosecution after Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx dropped his case. Following his conviction, he was sentenced to 150 days behind bars. He served only six days in jail before being released. He was additionally ordered to pay the city $120K in restitution, a $25K fine, and serve 30 months of probation. The scandal also cost him his role in Empire.

Smollett has maintained his innocence since allegedly staging the hate crime alongside two former Empire extras, Ola and Bola Osundairo. He’s been accused of orchestrating the 2019 hoax in an effort to bolster his career in entertainment. In December of 2023, a panel of three judges voted 2-1 to uphold Smollett’s conviction in an Illinois appeals court. This meant that Smollett would have to serve the remainder of his 150-day sentence or bring his appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Jussie Smollett’s name was most recently thrust back into headlines when Scottie Beam slammed Joe Budden for his controversial takes on the actor. She accused him of giving her a hard time for refusing to call him a “fa**ot” before having “all the info.” What do you think of Jussie Smollett maintaining his innocence?

Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori are often in the news for one reason or another, usually for something having to do with showing too much skin in public. Ye also frequently raises eyebrows with things he says, but we don’t hear Censori speak all that often. So, people were surprised by her voice when an old video of her talking recently made the rounds online.

As TMZ notes, the video sees Censori, for the 2022 CFS Summit in Paris, discussing her work as an architectural designer for Yeezy. The clips runs for nearly two minutes, and in it, Censori speaks plainly about her job, but it’s not what she says that has generated interest, but how she says it: with an Australian accent, as she’s originally from Melbourne.

Some were surprised to hear Censori speak, like one X (formerly Twitter) user who said, “That’s the first clip of her actually speaking I think anyone has found. Thats not what I expected.” Others didn’t understand the big deal, like another user who wrote, “Publicly known she’s Australian < Public surprised she has Aussie accent.”

That’s the first clip of her actually speaking I think anyone has found. Thats not what I expected.

Yung Miami’s Team Refutes Drug Trafficking Accusation In Diddy Lawsuit

March 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a turbulent few months for Diddy and as a result, for his girlfriend. City Girls rapper Yung Miami has already been facing quite a bit of backlash for her silence on the numerous accusations being made against Diddy. He was even edited out of a reality show following the singer that dropped earlier this year. But recently she was forced into the mix following a raid on two of Diddy’s properties earlier this week.

Following the raids, there were completely unsubstantiated rumors online that Miami was serving as an informant. While she didn’t respond to those claims, once she was added to an actual lawsuit she hit back quickly. Producer Lil Rod’s lawsuit has been one of the most notable filed against Diddy and an update made through his lawyer mentioned Miami directly. It claimed she was serving as a drug trafficker for the rap mogul securing and selling tuci. Miami’s legal team hit back quickly with receipts. They claim that the specific time cited in the lawsuit the rapper was getting fitted for her elaborate Met Gala dress. That puts her in New York at the time of the lawsuits claims, far away from Diddy and his crew in Virginia.

Yung Miami’s Lawyers Hit Back At Lawsuit Claim

While Miami’s lawyers have been hard at work refuting the allegations against her, she’s continued working. Earlier this week she hit back at a fan on Twitter suggesting she may have been caught up in the raids somehow. Even after the drug trafficking allegations hit she was still on her grind. She shared a preview of an upcoming single she has with Skilla Baby that she’s been promoting for a few weeks now. Unsurprisingly, the tease was met with quite a few jokes from fans online given the circumstances.

What do you think of Yung Miami’s lawyers pulling out receipts after she was mentioned in Lil Rod’s lawsuit? Do you think Miami will face any consequences from her association with Diddy? Let us know in the comment section below.

Breaking Down The Allegations Against Yung Miami In Lawsuit Against Diddy

March 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The recent sexual harassment and assault lawsuit filed by Rodney Jones against Diddy has certainly shaken up the mogul. Reports revealed that the initial filing the producers submitted was over 70 pages long. Evidently, he had a lot to say about Diddy and his alleged shady ways. Despite the length of the original documents, Jones had even more information to deliver. He amended the lawsuit on Monday, March 25, 2024, adding 25 more pages. The updated filing contains allegations against Yung Miami, Diddy’s ex-lover.

Following the raid of Diddy’s L.A. and Miami homes, it’s become clearer that this is a serious matter. Nevertheless, it could still go either way, so onlookers patiently await to witness the story unfold. Unfortunately for her, Yung Miami has now been roped into this highly publicized case. Here’s what we know about Rodney Jones’s allegations against her.

Yung Miami Is Accused Of Transporting “Pink Cocaine” For Diddy

According to the amended court documents obtained by XXL, Diddy allegedly has a love for a substance called “pink cocaine.” This drug, a combination of cocaine and ecstasy, is also called “tuci.” Allegedly, Diddy had a designated drug mule who transported and delivered the substance whenever he wanted. Following Diddy’s home raid, this alleged mule, a man named Brendan Paul, was arrested at a Miami airport.

Rodney Jones’s document identifies Paul as the primary transporter and supplier of the drug. However, the former Syracuse University basketball player is not the only person Jones accused of transporting “tuci.” According to the producer’s statement in the lawsuit, Yung Miami also transported pink cocaine for Diddy.

“Plaintiff and the Combs Rico Enterprise were rehearsing for ‘Something in the Water Festival’ in Virginia. Plaintiff Jones personally witnessed Mr. Combs do a few lines of coke in his dressing room. Defendant Sean Combs wanted tuci but Brendan forgot it, so Defendant Kristina Khorram called Yung Miami. Who then brought it on the private jet from Miami,” reads the court filing. Since this allegation was made against her, Yung Miami has not directly addressed it.

Sex Work Allegations

Besides the aforementioned pink cocaine allegation, Jones also accused Yung Miami of being a sex worker for Diddy. The amended lawsuit alleges that the “50/50” rapper, alongside Daphne Joy, 50 Cent’s ex, engaged in sexual activities with Diddy for money. According to the court filing, Diddy would brag to Jones about his sexual exploits with Yung Miami and Joy. After the women allegedly rendered their services, the document claims that the music mogul would pay them a “monthly stipend.”

“Upon information and belief, Defendants Lucian Charles Grainge, in his capacity as CEO of UMG, authorized Motown Records and Universal Music Group to provide financial resources to Defendants Sean Combs and Love Records through wire transfers to Defendants Sean Combs and Love Records accountant Robin Greenhill. Upon information and belief, Ms. Greenhill ensured the wiring, funds transfer, or cash payments to sex workers were completed,” the suit reads. “According to Plaintiff Jones, Defendant Sean Combs bragged about having several women on a monthly stipend,” it continues. Clearly mentioning the individuals, it reads on, “According to Plaintiff Jones, the women who received these payments are Caresha Romeka Brownlee, aka ‘Yung Miami,’ Jade Ramey, aka ‘Jade,’ and Daphne Joy Cervantes Narvaez, aka, ‘Daphne Joy’ who were paid a monthly fee to work as Mr. Combs’ sex workers.”

Yung Miami has yet to respond to either accusation. Throughout the period of this lawsuit, she has kept a low profile, choosing not to engage with associated topics. However, fans believe she is aware of everything going on and is trying to distance herself from Diddy. We can neither confirm nor deny that speculation. However, it is true that the two haven’t been publicly seen together in a while.
