Anthony Edwards Allegedly Petitions Lil Baby’s Ex, Ayesha Howard, For A Paternity Test

by

Anthony Edwards has allegedly filed a petition for paternity and child support against Ayesha Howard, who shares a child with Lil Baby. The NBA star hopes genetic testing will help determine whether he shares a child with her as well, according to a new report from Page Six. “If genetic testing shows that the petitioner is the father, the petitioner requests an order establishing the minor child’s paternity,” the documents filed in Georgia, last month, state.

Fans were highly critical of both parties when The Neighborhood Talk posted the rumors on Instagram. “Why he keep having babies on his gf ???? This why everybody think men hate the women they have at home,” one user wrote. Another added: “This the same woman that gets on the internet talking about side chicks. Whole time you one! Saddddd.”

Edwards is currently starring in Netflix’s Starting 5 as he prepares for the start of his fifth season in the NBA. One episode of the show documents the 23-year-old’s reaction as his girlfriend, Shannon, went into labor during one of his games. He ended up leaving the game at halftime to be by her side. The Atlanta Black Star also reported, earlier this year, that another woman by the name of “Ally D” on social media alleged to have welcomed a son with Edwards. “Our son 8 months… Kids were not born the same time just a few months apart. One little girl in September then our son October then he just had one,” she alleged on Instagram at the time.

Kanye West’s Sexual Harassment Accuser Says She Was ‘Drugged’ At Studio Session Co-Hosted by Ye and … Diddy

Here we go again, this time involving Ye. Alright, let’s get to it … Lauren Pisciotta, a former personal assistant to Kanye West, has just updated her lawsuit against the Yeezy honcho. She added new allegations involving an incident during a studio session co-hosted by Diddy. Oh, boy …

Now according to our friends at TMZ, Pisciotta claims that West invited her to the session, where drinks were served.

Pisciotta recalls an announcement being made that “everyone had to drink if they wanted to stay.” Weird and ridiculous if you ask us.

Get this, Pisciotta contends after taking “a few small sips” of the drink provided by West, she began feeling “disoriented.” The next day, she experienced difficulty remembering the night and felt “immense shame and embarrassment.” Later, Pisciotta alleges West mentioned that something had happened between them, which left her surprised, as she initially thought she had simply “felt unwell and acted out of character.”

What’s more is this follows her original lawsuit filed in June, where Pisciotta accused West of inappropriate behavior, including sending her explicit messages.

Meanwhile, as we reported yesterday, Kanye West is reportedly residing in Tokyo, seeking some distance from ongoing controversies. Seems like a recurring theme. The heat turns up and the flights stay booked, but we can be reading that entirely wrong.

Anywho, music journalist Touré notes that West has been staying in a hotel while working on his self-produced album Bully. Touré described West’s current lifestyle as “upper-class homeless,” as he enjoys the flexibility of hotel living without the responsibilities of maintaining a home.

West has chosen Tokyo for its quieter environment, where he can live more privately, unlike in Los Angeles, where he frequently deals with media attention and paparazzi.

New Twist: Prosecutors Collaborating with Feds on Diddy’s Alleged Ties to Tupac’s Murder

In a new development that intertwines two of hip hop’s most infamous names, federal prosecutors investigating Sean “Diddy” Combs are reportedly collaborating with the Clark County District Attorney’s office in Las Vegas, which is overseeing the murder case of rapper Tupac Shakur. This latest revelation comes months after a bombshell was dropped in July, when Los Angeles gang kingpin Keith “Keefe D” Davis, a key figure in Tupac’s 1996 murder, was revealed to be an FBI informant who had linked Diddy to the crime.

According to The Sun, federal investigators have been in discussions with the Las Vegas DA’s office regarding potential connections between Diddy and the murder of Tupac. Keefe D, the only person charged in the assassination, has previously alleged that Diddy offered him $1 million to carry out the hit on Tupac during the height of the East Coast-West Coast rap feud. This explosive claim, which Keefe D has made in police interviews and media appearances, has never been fully corroborated by other gang members or supported by solid evidence. Diddy has long denied any involvement and has never been charged in connection to the murder.

The ongoing federal investigation into Diddy is reportedly linked to broader gangland activities, and the same investigative teams probing Diddy’s federal case are now coordinating with Las Vegas law enforcement. This collaboration aims to explore not only Keefe D’s allegations but also the larger network of criminal activities that may have surrounded Tupac’s murder.

Keefe D’s cooperation with federal authorities initially came to light in July, when he was exposed as an informant providing information on both the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul and the events leading up to Tupac’s untimely death. However, until now, it wasn’t clear that federal investigators were actively involved in liaising with the Las Vegas DA regarding Tupac’s murder.

The 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur remains one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in music history. For decades, conspiracy theories have swirled, with many suggesting that powerful figures in the music industry played a role in the tragic event that occurred on the Las Vegas Strip. With Keefe D’s recent arrest and the revelations surrounding his ties to Diddy, this decades-long mystery may be on the verge of unraveling.

Though no official charges have been filed against Diddy in connection with Tupac’s death, the resurfacing of these claims has ignited fresh speculation and raised serious questions about the music mogul’s potential involvement. For now, both the hip hop community and the public at large remain on edge, awaiting further developments in the case that may finally bring answers to one of rap’s darkest chapters.

As the investigations unfold, one thing is clear: the legacy of Tupac Shakur continues to loom large over the world of hip hop, and the truth about what happened on that fateful night in 1996 may soon come to light.

Dr. Dre Facing Massive $10 Million Harassment Lawsuit Accusing Mogul of ‘Systematic and Malicious’ Threats

by
Screen Shot 2024 10 12 at 4.00.34 PM

Another day, another lawsuit in the entertainment world. There needs to be a show dedicated to this just to keep up. Anyways, Dr. Dre is facing a $10 million lawsuit from his former psychotherapist, Dr. Charles Sophy, who claims the music producer subjected him to harassment, threats, and homophobic rhetoric.

We previously reported the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, engaged in a “systematic and malicious” campaign against Dr. Sophy, marked by a series of threatening texts and actions that began in February 2023. Dr. Sophy alleges that Dre’s harassment stems from unresolved frustrations related to mediation Sophy oversaw during Dre’s divorce from Nicole Young in 2021.

Now according to the complaint, Dre sent Sophy several “overtly threatening” messages, accusing him of an undisclosed offense and demanding he “pay for” the perceived wrongdoing. Dre also allegedly pressured Sophy to disclose confidential information from a separate therapy session with another client, which Sophy refused. As the harassment escalated, Dr. Sophy claims Dre even deployed men impersonating FBI agents to his home, leaving him in a state of constant fear.

“Dr. Sophy lives in constant fear. He wears a bulletproof vest anytime he steps foot outside, is afraid to leave his home and is constantly looking over his shoulder,” the lawsuit reads. “Nobody should have to live in constant fear. But Dr. Sophy does — ironically for no other reason than he tried to help Young to resolve his own family’s conflict.”

Furthermore, Dre’s legal team, however, denies these allegations and counters with their own. Howard King, Dre’s attorney, claims that Dre filed a “confidential complaint” against Sophy with the Osteopathic Medical Board of California for “dereliction of duties and incredible incompetence.” King alleges that Sophy attempted to coerce Dre’s children into turning against him during the divorce and encouraged one child to make false accusations to the press to secure a financial settlement.

Get this, King stated, “That complaint seeks revocation of Dr. Sophy’s license to provide mental health counseling… He was terminated when it was revealed that he was encouraging one of their children to take sides against Mr. Young.” King added that Sophy has refused to cooperate with the Medical Board’s investigation into these claims.

Dr. Sophy, in his lawsuit, denies Dre’s accusations and insists he tried to avoid legal action in hopes of resolving the matter. “There is no truth behind these baseless and far-fetched accusations,” the lawsuit asserts. “Dr. Sophy tried to let the threats go… Young, however, would not let go.”

What ya’ll think, does Dr. Sophy have a case or nah?

2Pac’s Brother Remains Unconvinced Diddy Wasn’t Allegedly Involved In Late Rapper’s Murder

by

2Pac’s brother, Mopreme Shakur, says he’s not fully convinced the allegations that Diddy was in some way involved in the legendary rapper’s murder are untrue. He discussed the unfounded rumors during an appearance on Piers Morgan’s show, Uncensored, on Friday. Morgan began the segment by bringing up the infamous since-retracted story from the Los Angeles Times in 2008 about the allegations, in which Diddy denied any involvement.

“My opinion is that I don’t believe it was a 100 percent honest statement,” Mopreme told Morgan. “So, again, we gotta find out what’s true and what’s false. What’s real and what’s fake.” He also alleged that Diddy once denied his involvement to him in person in Los Angeles years after the murder. “[He] basically said he had nothing to do with my brother’s murder,” Mopreme alleged. “I told him, ‘The truth is still yet to come out, so we’re going to see.’ Here we are, 27, 28 years later, it looks like there’s some doubt in that statement, along with all the other suspicions that people have.” He concluded that “it’s time” for an investigation into the allegations.

Over the years, Diddy has never faced any charges in connection to the allegations. The interview with Morgan comes as Diddy resides behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial in his case regarding allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s already pleaded not guilty to the alleged charges and plans to argue his innocence in court.

Rick Ross’ Ex Accuses Tia Kemp Of Not Visiting Son After Alleged Shooting

by

Tia Kemp is someone who never shies away from sharing her opinions online. Now, however, the mother of another one of Rick Ross’ children has also joined the chat. Yesterday, Stoni Jones took to Instagram to put Kemp on blast. She shared a news report about Kemp’s son allegedly getting shot in a drive-by in Miami.

“Girl talk about your life & your kids,” she wrote. “Shut the F up about mine. Throwing rocks living in a glass house. Praying for all the victims involved.” At the time of writing, it’s unclear exactly what Jones was upset by. It appears that it could have been something Kemp said during her recent appearance on Unwine With Tasha K.

Stoni Jones Puts Tia Kemp On Blast In Heated IG Post

She went on, accusing Kemp of not visiting her son in the hospital after the alleged shooting. “Her own son is shot in a drive-by shooting and she says nothing about it doesn’t show up to the hospital to be by his bedside,” she alleged. “But yet has so much to say about others.” For obvious reasons, Jones’ post has since earned mixed reactions from social media users. While some are siding with her, others think she crossed the line by bringing Kemp’s son into things.

Luckily, it appears as though he’s recovering well. Tasha K took to Twitter/X earlier today to provide fans with an update, and to deny Stoni’s allegations. “Lies!” the internet personality wrote. “Tia Kemp has been with her son the whole time! Keep her family your prayers! But he is fine and recovering.” What do you think of Stoni Jones accusing Tia Kemp of not being with her son at the hospital after he was allegedly shot? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ovrkast. & Cardo Experiment With Their Chemistry On New EP “KAST GOT WINGS”

by

Ovrkast has been developing into an underappreciated star (in our opinion) for the last year and change. He’s been in the game for a minute, but he really broke through late in 2023 with his contributions to a major LP. You may know by now that we are referring to Drake’s For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition. He laid down some beats tailored to just spit over, putting Drizzy in a truer MC mindset. It seems like he’s just been carrying the momentum from those credits into his solo catalog, again even though he’s been a more than respectable MC for some time. His latest journey has been honing in his partnership with fellow producing superstar, Cardo. He knows a thing or two about making memorable tracks for some of the game’s biggest faces. You can tell that Ovrkast was able to learn a lot from his studio sessions with Cardo, because he crafted a lot of the beats for KAST GOT WINGS.

But die hard fans, don’t worry one bit, it doesn’t take away from his rapping performances in the slightest. In fact, he really doesn’t miss the mark entirely on any of them. Some of our favorites though include “BEAT IT UP!,” a nocturnal trap banger that seems him spitting with the feeling that he wants to rip the competition’s head off. The other is “FREE UP SUMN,” which sees Ovrkast playing the role of a provider and dedicating his career to those he cares about most. There’s a spectacular beat switch up in the last quarter that just takes this track to new heights. Give Ovrkast and Cardo’s KAST GOT WINGS your time with the links below, you won’t be left wanting more.

T.I. Focused On Movie & Comedy Career Amid Retirement From Touring

by

T.I. says he’s focused on his comedy career as well as directing, writing, and producing after announcing that he’s retiring from touring, earlier this week. Speaking with TMZ in New York City on Friday, the legendary rapper shared his plans for the future. He also clarified that he still plans to continue his music career.

When asked whether winning a $71 million judgment in his lawsuit against MGA Entertainment factored into his decision, he responded: “My decision to do comedy happened.” He also clarified that he still plans to do music but is focusing on directing, writing, and producing. He won the massive judgment after alleging that MGA’s “O.M.G.” dolls stole the likeness of his since-defunct girl group OMG Girlz. Speaking with Rolling Stone afterward, he said: “I think justice was served. I think it’s a testament to the relentless and resilience of my wife, daughter and nieces. We’re just happy we were able to come out on top and fight for creatives and our intellectual property that large corporations seem to think is just public domain and free for all to come and grab and use.”

T.I. previously confirmed that this year’s Jingle Bell concert in Atlanta will be his last live performance during an appearance on 96.1 The Beat. “I appreciate y’all for offering me my last working gig because I do not need the money anymore and I will not be performing,” he said, earlier this week. “I don’t want to do it anymore…I don’t want people to pay me to hop around and sweat for their entertainment anymore.”

T.I. will soon also be focusing on being a grandfather to his son King’s first child. We’re not permitted to post the video of T.I. discussing his future directly on HotNewHipHop, but if you’d like to see it, you can do so by clicking the “Via” link below.
