Former POTUS Donald Trump Defended Diddy To Aubrey O’Day As A “Good Guy” Says Arsenio Hall
Arsenio Hall has entered the Diddy and Trump chat. The former talk show host recently shared a story about Donald Trump defending Sean “Diddy” Combs in an unexpected moment. During an appearance on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Hall recalled an incident that took place behind the scenes of Trump’s reality show Celebrity Apprentice. Former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day had made critical remarks about Diddy, and Trump surprisingly came to the Bad Boy founder’s defense.
“She says some negative things about Diddy, and I’m listening,” Hall explained. “Trump chimes in and defends Diddy and that surprised me because usually Trump don’t defend nobody but himself.”
The Coming 2 America star described how Trump passionately stood up for Diddy, emphasizing that he had never encountered any personal issues with him. “For him to speak up and say, ‘Well, I like him, he’s a good guy. I’ve never had a problem.’ He gives him a full-throated vote of character,” Hall recalled. “I had no idea one day this was going to play out in real-time. But Trump liked Diddy.”
Get this, Hall also spoke about attending several of Diddy’s famous parties, which he said could start out family-friendly but often escalated as the night progressed. “For instance, you use a person’s home and their family is in the home, so it’s fun, legitimate. 8:00 PM? Lots of food and music,” Hall shared. However, he noted that as the night wore on, things could get wilder. “I’ve also seen the ones that last longer than eight or nine,” he added, referencing the rumored “freak-offs” that allegedly occurred.
If you are not in the know, Trump and Diddy’s relationship dates back to the 1990s, with the two being seen together at events and in photographs over the years. Diddy even revealed that Trump attended his extravagant 30th birthday party in 1999 during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2018.
Here’s the full interview below …

Bow Wow Slammed For Eluding to Missing Diddy Parties: ‘There was no motion, no parties, nowhere to go’
Sometimes you have to know how to read the room. Anyway, here we go … Bow Wow recently faced backlash for comments he made about missing Diddy’s parties, a statement that sparked criticism in light of Diddy’s current legal troubles. The 37-year-old rapper, known for stirring controversy, expressed nostalgia for Diddy’s events during an appearance on Rocsi Diaz’s More To The Story podcast.
However, his remarks were poorly received, considering Diddy’s recent arrest and legal battles involving allegations of rape, sex trafficking, and other charges.
Here’s what he said …
“Bruh supposed to be on a 250-foot yacht with his wife, legs up, chilling,” Bow Wow said. “It seems unreal at times. Me and Jermaine [Dupri] spoke about it, and I was like, ‘I never thought we would see him in this position. Ever.’ He’s like the gatekeeper to the game. To the point where… BET Awards weekend? The past two, they just didn’t feel right ’cause there was no motion, no parties, nowhere to go.”
Bow Wow emphasized that he wasn’t referring to the infamous “freak offs” mentioned in federal investigations. “I said, ‘Jermaine, there’s no parties!’” he added. “You feel it, it’s like a hole. He was everything Hip-Hop! For that to die out, you just would have never thought… It’s sad and it’s messed up that we gotta witness this.”
His comments did not sit well with many online users. He got cooked TBH.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “Fiending for Diddy parties is crazy. Dude should have just stayed quiet.” Another user criticized Bow Wow personally, recalling a disappointing club appearance: “Get a load of this loser. We booked him at the club and he couldn’t even give his liquor away… A Diddy party may actually be his best bet.” A third user tersely added, “Send him back to the orphanage.”
Obviously, in the spirit of not reading the room, the timing of Bow Wow’s remarks is especially problematic, as Diddy is currently facing serious legal charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His legal troubles began when his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023, accusing him of rape and trafficking. Although the case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, it led to more allegations from other women.

Juice WRLD Drops Posthumous “Both Ways” Video Directed By Trippie Redd
Today, fans are once again being treated to two long-sought Juice WRLD gems: minimal, melodic “Both Ways” and the darkly booming “Cavalier.” The songs continue an ongoing series, arriving as The Pre-Party (Extended) EP via Grade A and Interscope Records. Additionally, “Both Ways” comes with a video starring and co-directed by Juice friend and collaborator Trippie Redd along with DotComNirvan.
Blessed with a beat from Juice’s right-hand producer Nick Mira alongside Pharaoh Vice (iann dior, The Kid LAROI, Lil Peep), “Both Ways” is low-slung with a subtly infectious groove. Juice is in his zone, casually shifting rhythms and catching melodies, feeling himself and issuing warnings: “If you’re crossing my streets, better look both ways.”

VP Kamala Harris Introduces ‘Opportunity Agenda’ Focusing on Supporting Black Men
To combat the chatter about Black men being left out of the political discourse, Vice President Kamala Harris has introduced a new “Opportunity Agenda” focused on supporting Black men in a big way. Now this sweeping proposal offers one million forgivable loans of up to $20,000 for Black entrepreneurs.
As expected and smartly so, Harris aims to bolster Black male voters’ support as she faces a close race with former President Donald Trump. This is a big deal and we’re sure the naysayers will find ways to attack the positive points within the proposal.
Diving in, the plan includes partnerships between community-oriented banks, mission-driven lenders, and the Small Business Administration to fund the forgivable loans. In addition to the loan program, the agenda offers training and mentorship to help Black men find jobs in high-demand sectors.
Harris also aims to enhance the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program to attract and retain Black male teachers, who currently make up less than 2% of public school educators in the U.S. The PSLF program forgives student loans after 10 years of work in certain nonprofit and government roles.
“This agenda is a further realization of Vice President Harris’ Opportunity Economy,” said Cedric Richmond, Harris’ campaign co-chair. “An economy where people don’t just get by, but get ahead. Where Black men are equipped with the tools to thrive: to buy a home, provide for our families, start a business, and build wealth.”
Oh but wait, there’s more. Harris also announced her support for federal marijuana legalization, surpassing the current Biden administration’s stance, which has focused on pardoning individuals for marijuana possession and reconsidering its classification. According to her campaign, Harris “will break down unjust legal barriers that hold Black men and other Americans back by legalizing marijuana nationally” and ensure Black men have access to jobs and wealth in the emerging cannabis industry, addressing the disproportionate policing of Black men for marijuana-related offenses.
It get’s better. Another key part of her agenda focuses on digital assets. Harris recognizes that over 20% of Black Americans have invested in cryptocurrency. Her campaign said she would work to establish a regulatory framework that protects Black men and other participants in the digital asset market, though specific details on the framework were not provided.
Get this, Harris’ proposals come as Trump makes inroads with Black voters. Polls show roughly 15% of Black voters plan to support Trump in the upcoming election, a 6% increase from Biden’s final margin with Black voters in 2020.
With her new agenda, Harris hopes to close that gap by addressing economic opportunities and social justice issues impacting Black men.
When it comes to contrast to Trump, Harris frequently links him to the Project 2025 agenda, a conservative plan that proposes cuts to education and social safety net programs like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, despite Trump’s efforts to distance himself from it.

New ‘Tupac: Cover-Up’ Documentary Claims It Shoots Holes In Theory Tying Diddy To Tupac Murder
A new documentary, Tupac: Cover-Up, currently streaming on the XUMO PLAY service (with plans to be on all streamers by February 2025), punches a rather sizable hole in the current rash of news stories trying to implicate Sean “Diddy” Combs in the 1996 Murder of Rap Star Tupac Shakur.
The documentary “Tupac: Cover Up” dismantles the current charges against Duane “Keefe D” Davis for the murder of Tupac, using Attorneys, Former Judges, former FBI Investigators, and industry insiders. This group of experts asserts that there is much more to the effort to convict Davis than meets the eye and what is at stake if a false narrative is sold.
“The consensus of our experts indicates that there was a narrative constructed by a group of self-interested individuals beginning five (5) minutes after the Shakur shooting and that Mr. Davis may have been coerced into creating the story he has often repeated in interviews and books,” says Director/Producer Richard “RJ” Bond, who also directed the “Tupac Assassination” series and authored the book “Tupac:187”.
“The Davis Narrative, as inconsistent and contradictory as it has been, seems to indicate that Davis participated in the killing motivated at least in part by some scheme involving a longstanding ‘bounty’ put out by Diddy. Not only has Davis recently disowned his previous statements, but there is now a real disconnect between the alleged ‘Diddy’ bounty and the ‘Revenge Narrative’ put out for almost 30 years to the Nevada Grand Jury- alleging Orlando Anderson and Davis participated in a shooting compelled as revenge for an altercation earlier that evening.”
“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” Bond concludes. “And it’s critical that Clark County prosecutors taint the prospective jury pool with a phantom association between Diddy and Tupac so that when the jury pool hears the prosecution repeat Davis’s “Diddy fairy tale,” they will have already thought, ‘Oh yeah, that was in the news not long ago.’ But if Davis is lying and he’s the only eyewitness to the shooting besides Suge Knight still alive, then there’s nothing to tie Davis to Diddy.
“But now it’s getting out of hand, and it’s ended up in my backyard, so I need to speak to it.”
Tupac Cover Up is streaming on XUMO PLAY.

Kanye West has been dealing with Lauren Pisciotta (former YEEZY employee from 2021-2022) for a few months now. It seems like every other week we hear some new allegation as over this weekend that was the case. The sexual harassment/assault accuser recently alleged that she received some lewd text messages from Kanye West that he wanted to have sex with Bianca Censori’s mother. The alleged thread started with, “I wanna f*** your mum. Before she leaves,” to Bianca.
He then allegedly screenshotted that and sent it to Lauren, asking, “Before she leaves… Should I [add] I meant I want you to watch me f*** your mom.” Allegedly, Bianca never had a reaction to any of these interactions. If you have been keeping up with this debacle, these are not the only messages, videos, and phone calls, that Lauren has allegedly received from Kanye. It also includes an allegation that she was drugged and sexually assaulted at a Diddy party.
