Per the outlet, an alleged source reportedly close to Davis said that Keefe’s lawyer Michael Pandullo believes Sean Combs would back up Keefe’s claims that his past confessions to orchestrating 2Pac’s death were all lies for the sake of “fame and fortune.”

“Duane has made his feelings clear,” the alleged source reportedly expressed. “If Diddy is a witness or makes a statement denying what he told cops, then that helps him hugely. Another factor is that this case will be a jury trial… And there is a suspicion that celebrities are often seen preferentially. So if Diddy backed up this story, it would help immensely.”

Keefe D’s referenced Diddy concerning Tupac murder allegations in the past, previously claiming Combs put a $1 million hit on ‘Pac. On the other hand, Diddy has repeatedly denied involvement in Tupac’s murder.

When Is Keefe D’s Trial?

For those unaware, Keefe D’s trial for allegedly murdering Tupac Shakur will begin in August of this year, if everything goes according to the current schedule at press time. However, there’s a big chance that this could experience a delay to 2027, but we will see how the court actually develops the case in the next few months.

Keefe D has previously claimed that he organized the murder of ‘Pac as retaliation for the rapper, Suge Knight, and others attacking his nephew Orlando Anderson, and that money that Combs allegedly offered Keefe never made it to him after the hit. Authorities arrested Davis on murder charges from Las Vegas in September of 2023. The defense team wants Puff to contradict Davis’ previous claims, thus disproving his stories and arguing against the murder charges against him.

On the other hand, prosecutors are using his previous claims against him. We will see what side wins out.

Meanwhile, Diddy continues to deal with legal drama. The sexual misconduct scandal that landed him in prison continues to bleed into civil lawsuits, legal developments, and more accusations.

“Sayless,” which dropped yesterday, hears Harris continue to go below the belt. Once again, he tells Fif to go dig up his late mother, Sabrina Jackson. To add insult to injury, he wears the aforementioned t-shirt, which seemingly has a legit photo of the G-Unit boss’s late matriarch on it.

Harris posted a teaser of this track and video on his Instagram and as per Complex, Rozay was in his comments section asking to get that shirt sent his way.

“Need dat T in a 3x lil bro,” he wrote beneath the post. Harris is more than willing to hook him up, writing back, “@richforever got [P button emoji salute emoji].”

For those wondering where King Harris got this photo from, he shared it on his Instagram yesterday as well, but via a Story post instead. He tagged 50 Cent, jokingly asking him about his late mom’s gender. “This yo mama or pops @50cent [thinking emoji].”

Why Is King Harris Beefing With 50 Cent?

Harris has been making it a focus to constantly taunt 50 about Sabrina. Since entering his dad’s larger beef with the mogul, he’s gone on vengeful rants about him taking shots at his mom, Tameka “Tiny” Harris.

Fif posted a not-so flattering photo of her on his social media as a means to instigate things with Tip. But that angered King Harris (for good reason), so he’s been fighting fire with fire ever since.

“B*tch a*s n**** wanna say something about my mama, your mama dead as f*ck n****. Your mama dead as f*ck, go dig her up. Go dig her up. F*ck. Post a picture of your motherf*cking mama n****, she dead n****,” the 21-year-old said in part earlier this week.

“For this ever to be an issue, Kardashian must first pass the bar exam, something she admittedly has not yet done,” the singer reportedly expressed in court documents. “Regardless, it is unclear why vague, third-party allegations from [an interview] and a Twitch stream could ever ‘jeopardize’ her legal career. It would be the underlying wrongful conduct, none of which [Kim and Kris have] denied.”

“It is my understanding that, before becoming an attorney, the California State Bar evaluates moral character through a comprehensive background investigation, including investigation of allegations of criminal misconduct or dishonesty,” Kim reportedly expressed in previous legal filings. Ray claims their denial of knowing about any alleged federal investigations concerning them does not include denial of racketeering activity. We will see how the celebrity socialites respond in court.

Why Is Kim Kardashian Suing Ray J?

For those unaware, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are suing Ray J for defamation because he claimed that a RICO “worse than Diddy” is coming for the Kardashians. More specifically, this claim seems to refer to allegations against Kim and company for alleged fraud, the release of her sex tape with Ray, and other unfounded accusations the singer has levied at Kim and her family in the past.

“I’m worried that I would need to address these entirely false accusations and that they might be taken seriously,” the SKIMS mogul expressed in court documents concerning the California State Bar’s background investigation. “To say that my daughter and I are being pursued for doing something worse than Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, is a horrific lie,” Kris Jenner recently declared.

Ray J sued Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner in response, which has more to do with allegations around the aforementioned sex tape. We will see how both cases end up playing out in court, and whether or not Kim eventually becomes a lawyer.

In a clip caught from Ak’s recent livestream by joebuddenclips/fanpage on Twitter, she said that Frost claimed (whether jokingly or otherwise) that she gave him herpes and that she sexually assaulted him with the kiss during their recent livestream. For those unaware, he had appeared on his stream after the kiss with prosthetic makeup showing a fake lesion around his lips.

Deshae Frost, on the other hand, denied that he explicitly said Powell gave him herpes, and that she knew about the lips joke. However, Celina claims that he asked her to kiss him before. Akademiks asked her why they streamed in the first place, and she said he “crossed a line” beyond just looking for viral clips, clip-farming, and joking around. Celina Powell said she wanted to give Deshae a pass and be a good sport about his trolling, but his alleged double-downs on the situation, plus the lips joke, convinced her otherwise.

“My lawyers are hungry for this right now, they are ready to go,” she told her former fling. “My lawyer was reading a bunch of lists of laws that he broke. She sent me a draft about the lawsuit… I went today and got tested for everything to go along with the lawsuit. And then we can proceed.”

Who Has Celina Powell Dated?

DJ Akademiks joked that Powell’s cough was a result of the kiss, which led her to joke about Ak being part of the lawsuit, too. We’ll see if this actually leads to legal action against Deshae Frost in any way.

For those unaware, Celina Powell’s dating history includes either confirmed connections or alleged flings with DJ Akademiks himself, YBN Nahmir, Young Thug, Snoop Dogg, 6ix9ine, and more. However, many of these relationships, such as Offset, never saw outright confirmation from both parties.

In the case of that alleged ‘Set fling, Powell posted a video of someone appearing to be Offset sleeping next to her. With many of her claims in the background, we will see if Deshae Frost gets a lawsuit over these jokes and claims.

As a result, a nine-month stint overseas is certainly on the table. Initially, this wasn’t the case, though. In fact, it seemed for a moment that the “We Dem Boyz” hitmaker was going to get by with just a fine. A lower court issued him a criminal fine of 3,600 lei, or $830, last April for “illegal possession of dangerous drugs.”

However, prosecutors were able to successfully appeal that decision, hitting him with this punishment in December. Overall, Romania has some of the strictest drug laws in all of Europe. Possession of cannabis for recreational use can carry a minimum of three months or a max of two years, or just a fine.

Prosecutors said Wiz had 18 grams or more of cannabis on him during the Beach Please! Festival in Continesti.

When Was Wiz Khalifa Arrested In Romania?

He performed there in July 2024 along with a host of other superstar rappers. Unfortunately, his evening didn’t end on a high note as he was arrested on site. He apologized to the country on social media afterwards and commended the authorities for being “respectful.”

“Last nights show was amazing. I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big a*s joint next time,” he joked.

But things are much more serious now. As of yet, it’s unclear if Romanian officials will file an extradition request. However, there is also a possibility the United States could save him. Typically, they refuse such requests for non-violent drug offenses, even more so when foreign penalties are harsher than American standards.

As reported by KESQ 3, on Wednesday (February 25), the California Supreme Court rejected a petition from his defense team asking them to review the case. Last November, a three-justice panel from the state’s Second District Court of Appeals argued that there was “more than sufficient [evidence] to support the jury’s finding that [Lanez] personally inflicted great bodily injury on” Megan. This was despite his legal team’s claims that the trial experienced various errors and that supposed new evidence allegedly proved otherwise.

We will see if the Canadian artist and his lawyers continue to seek change via the appeals process. They have not slowed down thus far, but each new attempt falls to the wayside. Some of these arguments concern alleged procedural mistakes during the trial, whereas others accuse evidence of being either insufficient, misleading, or exploited.

When Did Tory Lanez Go To Jail?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

For those unaware, Tory Lanez’s Megan Thee Stallion shooting case stems from a shooting incident in July of 2020, when he shot her after a Hollywood Hills party. Authorities took him into jail custody following his conviction in December of 2022, which followed a house arrest stint, bail-outs, and other legal matters.

In August of the following year, Lanez received his ten-year prison sentence for the shooting. His parole eligibility reportedly opens in September of 2029, with a current expected release date of around 2033 given the sentence and other factors. The Brampton singer and rapper is currently behind bars at the California Men’s Colony facility in San Luis Obispo.

However, not all of Tory Lanez’s updates are legal. He and his music continue to make waves in the discourse, such as Hitmaka’s recent claims that they originally wrote Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again.” That was ironic considering how Tory had called the producer out days before that old clip went viral again.
