A woman is alleging Diddy raped her with a TV remote after she stated she beleived he had a hand in the murder of Tupac.
According to TMZ, Ashley Parham stated she was assaulted by Diddy during a “gangbang-style” rape after levying the accusation in a Facetime call.
Parham met a friend of Diddy’s at a bar in Feb. 2018. Not a fan of the mogul, she stated she felt he had a part to play in the death of the rap legend and he responded she would “pay” for her comment, being set up for a rape a month later.
Parham stated she was invited to the friend’s home in Orinda, California, only to meet Diddy who stated “she thought she would never see him in person.” He then presented a knife to her face, threatening to cut it. According to Parham, Kristina Khorram, a Diddy consultant was present and advised the mogul to not cut her face but instead to traffick her.
The woman states then Diddy doused her in a bottle of liquid after removing her clothes, followed by the mogul using a TV remote to rape her after another utensil failed to work properly. The woman states Diddy then anally raped her and three other men also raped her.
The woman states to Diddy’s suprise the woman was able to regain control of her body, grabbed a knife to leave but was confronted by Diddy who offered her money to say it was consenual, even calling his own mother, Janice Combs, to assist in the cover up. The woman also stated Diddy had someone with a live stream of her family’s home.
A scuffle ensued later where Diddy reportedly pleaded for his life and she grazed his abdomen with a knife. After escaping, the woman stated she alerted Contra Costa County Sheriff, Walnut Creek Police and Orinda Police Department, who she believes did no investigation to her claims.

The NFL has a reason to dust their shoulders off because the league is extending its partnership with Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s entertainment power house, to continue producing the Super Bowl halftime show.
We’re right in the thick of the NFL season and guess that was perfect timing for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to confirm the ongoing collaboration during the NFL owners meeting in Atlanta.
Goodell described the relationship as highly beneficial for both parties. “It’s been a mutually positive relationship,” Goodell stated, referring to Jay-Z and Roc Nation’s CEO Desiree Perez.
Get this, while addressing the nature of the partnership, Goodell added, “I’m not sure either one of us really spend much time talking about contracts. Jay is happy. Desiree Perez is happy. I’m happy, so we’re all good.”
If you recall, the partnership, which originally began in 2019, saw Roc Nation take the lead in advising and selecting artists for major NFL performances, including the coveted Super Bowl halftime show. Additionally, Roc Nation has played a significant role in supporting the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative, a social justice program that has distributed $375 million in grants to various causes.
If you’re curious about the math, while the original deal was reportedly valued at $25 million over five years, specifics regarding the value and duration of the new extension remain undisclosed.
The collaboration between the NFL and Roc Nation began at a time when the league was under intense scrutiny for its response to Colin Kaepernick’s protests and players kneeling during the national anthem. Some called it disingenuous. Others felt it was a step in the right direction.
Since the partnership took effect, the Super Bowl has featured headline performances from top artists such as Rihanna, The Weeknd, and Shakira. Kendrick Lamar is slated to perform at the upcoming Super Bowl in New Orleans.
Anyways, the partnership between Roc Nation and the NFL has evolved into a powerful platform for entertainment and social change, strengthening the league’s public image and diversifying its cultural outreach.
Well, there you have it. The NFL x Roc Nation and Super Bowl shows will rock on.

Selwyn Jones, George Floyd’s uncle and co-founder of the Hope929 Organization, has publicly criticized Melania Trump for not mentioning Floyd by name in her recently published memoir.
In the book, the former First Lady referred to Floyd only as an unnamed “Black Minneapolis Resident.” Floyd’s family continues to honor his memory four years after his tragic death, which would have marked his 51st birthday.
When asked about Trump’s memoir, Jones expressed his frustration: “She should say his name. Everyone knows who he is because of the horrific situation he went through. My nephew would have been 51, and he is one of many wrongfully murdered by police in the last four years. They all deserve to be remembered.”
Jones, a civil rights advocate since Floyd’s death, has traveled the country promoting police reform and supporting families affected by police violence. Through Hope929, Jones focuses on creating change in honor of Floyd and other victims. He recently spoke at Harvard University, continuing his activism to foster safer communities.
Jones has also been rallying for the passage of The Medical Civil Rights Act, approved in Connecticut last year, which guarantees the right to emergency medical care during police interactions. He is relentless in his pursuit of justice and safety, particularly for young people in vulnerable communities.
Jones and his family are continuing their call for Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. They are pushing for mental health screenings for police officers to prevent future tragedies.

Kenya Barris’ Khalabo Ink Society and Cole Bennett’s Lyrical Lemonade are collaborating on a new documentary exploring the life and career of Chicago rapper Chief Keef. Directed by Bennett and produced by Barris alongside Khalabo’s Jeremy Allen, the film will chronicle Chief Keef’s meteoric rise, his 10-year political exile from Chicago, and his recent return to the city.
The documentary will highlight Chief Keef’s pivotal role in creating Drill Rap, a genre that revolutionized hip-hop and left a lasting impact on both the music industry and Chicago’s cultural landscape. Viewers will also get a glimpse into Chicago’s segregated neighborhoods and gang violence, providing context for Keef’s journey. The film will delve into how Keef became both a voice for the city’s marginalized youth and a scapegoat for political figures looking to address gang violence.
Widely regarded as the “King of Drill Music,” Chief Keef was more than a rapper to his community—he was a symbol of hope for young people in underserved areas. As he developed a new sound that captured the raw realities of life in Chicago, he gave a voice to their shared struggles. However, for local politicians, Keef’s music made him a convenient target for controversy.
Cole Bennett, founder of Lyrical Lemonade, brings his unique vision to the project. Known for his innovative music videos, Bennett has worked with artists like Juice WRLD, Eminem, and Post Malone. His blend of bold visuals and cutting-edge techniques has made Lyrical Lemonade a powerhouse in the hip-hop world.
In addition to Barris and Allen, the film’s executive producers include Jake Millan, Krista Worby, Emile Geneve, and Idris Dykes.
