Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, is speaking out against the charges against her son, referring to them as a “public lynching.” Combs expressed her views in a conversation with Page Six.

“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies,” Janice shared.

“To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”

She added, “I am not here to portray my son as perfect because he is not. He has made mistakes in his past, as we all have.

“My son may not have been entirely truthful about certain things, such as denying he has ever gotten violent with an ex-girlfriend when the hotel’s surveillance showed otherwise.”

Earlier this summer, media personalities Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg of the “Juan Ep Is Life” podcast have released their latest episode featuring dancehall legend Vybz Kartel. It marks his first interview since being released from prison after serving a 13-year sentence. In the candid conversation, Vybz Kartel opens up about recording music during his incarceration, plans to marry his fiancée, and how he maintained his confidence throughout his sentence.

Kartel shared the resourceful ways he recorded music while in prison, describing how he wrapped his mattress around his head as soundproofing. On his knees, with his phone placed three feet away, Kartel laid down tracks that an outside engineer would later clean up. Notably, his hit single “Fever” was among the many songs recorded under these conditions.

The conversation also touched on Vybz Kartel’s upcoming performances, with Rosenberg confirming Kartel’s headlining show on December 31st in Jamaica. Kartel called it “the biggest concert in Jamaica since Bob Marley,” and revealed plans for additional shows across the Caribbean and South America.

Discussing his health, Kartel mentioned working with a personal trainer to prepare for his return to the stage. He expressed gratitude for the love he’s received from the Jamaican community since his release. He also thanked fans who supported him with letters and gifts during prison.

When asked about potential collaborations, Kartel expressed interest in working with Lil Wayne and praised the influence of artists like Drake and Kendrick Lamar, acknowledging their popularity in Jamaica.

LeBron James And Bronny James Make History By Sharing The Court For The First Time: Watch

LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, made NBA history on Sunday night by taking the court at the same time in the Los Angeles Lakers’ preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. During the second quarter of the matchup, Bronny checked into the game to join his father on the court. The day coincided with the celebration of his 20th birthday.

“It’s surreal,” Lakers Head Coach JJ Redick said before the game, as caught by ESPN. “It’ll be fun when they’re on the court together. I’m excited about it. I’m very honored that I get to be part of history.” He also promised that the moment would occur “in the flow of the game” and wouldn’t be “gimmicky.” The Lakers ended up dropping the game 118-114, as LeBron contributed 19 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds. Bronny chimed in with just 2 rebounds in his 13 minutes of action.

When the NBA shared the moment on social media, fans had mixed responses. Many celebrated the wholesome situation, such as one user on X (formerly Twitter) who wrote: “That’s a historic moment for both LeBron and Bronny! Seeing them share the court is a dream come true for many basketball fans. It’s not often you get to witness a father-son duo at such a high level of competition.” Others joked about Bronny being a nepotism hire for the Lakers. One annoyed fan wrote: “Wow so amazing this guy forced his team to waste a draft pick and a spot on their bench for his own kids who isn’t remotely a NBA caliber player just so he could add that little bit to his resume.”

Diddy Faces Ruthless Jokes From “Saturday Night Live”

Michael Che and Colin Jost took aim at Diddy during the latest episode of Saturday Night Live. In doing so, the two comedians poked fun at the number of allegations made against the Bad Boy mogul in the wake of his arrest in New York City, last month. Authorities have charged him with alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s already pleaded not guilty to the alleged crimes.

Che kicked things off during the “Weekend Update” segment. “It was reported that the U.S. added 245,000 new jobs. Unfortunately, they were all ‘Diddy accusers,’” he joked. “It was announced that Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs’ sex trafficking case has been assigned to a new judge. One that Diddy hopes is cool with rapes.” From there, Jost joined in on the jokes. “It was reported that Diddy once invited Prince Harry and Prince William to one of his parties, but they did not go,” he said. “Although before Diddy could even finish writing the invite, Prince Andrew was there.”
