The first report came around 1:30 p.m. and alleged that a woman had thrown a 3-year-old child to the ground at Blueface’s Canyon Country home. Deputy Mariela Picard of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station told KHTS Radio that deputies found Blueface livestreaming when they arrived. A walk-through of the property found no children, and officers could not locate the person who made the report.

Then, at approximately 3:42 p.m., another caller claimed someone at the residence was suffering a seizure. According to TMZ, Los Angeles County firefighters joined deputies for the second response. Authorities spoke with Blueface and determined there was no medical emergency. Both calls were classified as swatting incidents, and Blueface has repeatedly found himself on the receiving end in recent months.

Blueface Has Been Dealing With Swatting Calls Since July

The September 30 calls bring the reported total involving Blueface to at least six since July, according to AllHipHop. Several have happened while he was livestreaming, giving viewers a real-time look at police arriving over claims that ultimately proved false.

One of the earliest incidents occurred July 21, when someone reported a shooting at his Canyon Country home. KHTS Radio reported that deputies searched the property and found no evidence a shooting had occurred. Blueface and a cameraman were briefly detained during the response.

Another call in August sent deputies to his King of Crabs restaurant while Blueface was there with Nevaeh Akira and their newborn son. Someone falsely reported a shooting victim inside and described an armed man matching Blueface. Officers detained him at gunpoint before determining there was no crime.

The pattern continued in September, including a Miami incident that brought a heavy police response to a residence where Blueface was staying. Afterward, he blamed people watching his livestreams for trying to interfere with them through false reports. “They call the police. They make false reports. Waste everyone’s time,” he said.

The claims originated in an NBC News investigation based on accounts from four men who were housed in the same unit. They alleged that people outside the prison deposited thousands of dollars into other inmates’ commissary accounts in exchange for work done for Diddy. One source characterized the setup as something only a wealthy inmate could pull off, describing it as far removed from normal prison life.

Food was reportedly another area where Diddy found ways around the usual experience. Former inmates claimed other prisoners prepared meals specifically for him, including curry chicken and pizza. The report also alleges he obtained contraband alcohol, including Hennessy, along with access to a cellphone that federal prisoners are prohibited from possessing.

Diddy’s Alleged Prison Perks Went Beyond Chores

The accounts also describe a jailbroken tablet that allegedly gave Diddy access to content outside the restrictions normally placed on prison devices. According to the reporting, he used it to browse Instagram and watch entertainment, including the Netflix docuseries about his legal troubles that was executive produced by 50 Cent. Former inmates additionally claimed he received sexually explicit images through social media.

FCI Fort Dix has not confirmed the allegations. A Bureau of Prisons representative told the Los Angeles Times that officials do not discuss the conditions of confinement for individual inmates or confirm investigations involving them. The representative acknowledged that contraband cellphones and other prohibited items remain an ongoing problem across federal facilities.

Diddy’s spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, pushed back on the attention surrounding the claims. “The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and he patiently awaits the court’s decision on his appeal,” he said. Yet, the scrutiny has already been followed by another change in Diddy’s living situation. TMZ reported that he was returned to the Special Housing Unit while officials investigate the allegations regarding his Fort Dix stay. It marks his second stint in solitary confinement after a July altercation with another inmate.

The explanation adds a new wrinkle to a story that became nearly as memorable as the breakup itself. Quavo surprised Saweetie with the customized white Bentley for Christmas in 2020, complete with snowflake details and “Icy” embroidered into the headrests. REVOLT covered the original gift as Saweetie celebrated the surprise, months before their relationship publicly unraveled.

By March 2021, the couple had called it quits. Saweetie suggested betrayal played a role in the split, writing at the time that “presents don’t band aid scars” and saying intimacy had been given to other women. Quavo disputed her characterization of their relationship, and rumors quickly followed that he had reclaimed the Bentley. His camp initially denied it, although his later music seemed to wink at the controversy.

Yung Miami Has Now Heard Both Sides Of The Bentley Story

There is some symmetry in Quavo finally telling this story to Yung Miami. Back in 2022, she put Saweetie in the hot seat over the exact same car during an episode of Caresha Please. “How you feel when he took your car back?” Miami asked.

Saweetie did not seem interested in mourning the Bentley. She laughed, then explained that she’d simply bought herself another luxury vehicle. “I had to go get me a little Rolls[-Royce],” she said, adding that she had gotten used to the experience and decided to purchase one herself.

That interview also found Saweetie admitting that the breakup had been much more painful than some of the public back-and-forth suggested. She told Miami that she once believed she and Quavo would spend their lives together and described their relationship as one filled with “growing pains.” She declined to directly answer whether he had cheated.

His support comes with a clear exception. Too Short said the 2016 hotel surveillance footage showing Diddy physically assaulting Cassie Ventura was unacceptable, separating what was captured on camera from the sexual conduct examined during Diddy’s federal case. He also said that throughout the years he spent around the mogul, he never witnessed the kind of activity described during the trial. He stated his memories of Diddy’s parties involved music, weed, and people enjoying themselves.

Diddy was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The jury acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, and he was later sentenced to 50 months in federal prison. The Los Angeles Times recently reported that Bureau of Prisons records list his projected release date as January 21, 2028. However, a new investigation into his alleged VIP life in prison may change that.

Too Short Thinks Diddy Should Keep His Comeback Low-Key

Planning to attend the celebration does not mean Too $hort thinks Diddy should immediately jump back into public life. He suggested that the mogul should move carefully after prison rather than trying to force a major comeback before seeing how people respond.

Short Dogg pointed to Bill Cosby’s attempt to announce a comedy tour after his own release from prison as an example of what Diddy might want to avoid. His advice was to read the room first. He even offered a much quieter alternative, joking that Diddy could move to Bali and spend time with Russell Simmons.

The lawsuit, filed September 29 in Washington, D.C., includes 13 plaintiffs and names the United States as the defendant. Knutson’s portion takes particular issue with prosecutors using his music during sentencing. His attorneys claim the government submitted nearly two pages of lyrics from a song he released shortly before sentencing as part of its argument for a harsher punishment. The complaint argues that his defense raised concerns about his right to create and release music, but the court considered the lyrics relevant to his conduct.

Knutson pleaded guilty in 2022 to entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds after participating in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach. He was sentenced to six months behind bars, followed by one year of supervised release, and ordered to pay $500 in restitution. Federal surveillance footage showed him entering the Capitol through a broken window near the Senate Wing, according to his criminal case.

Playboy The Beast Claims The Case Destroyed His Music Career

The government’s interest in his music did not begin at sentencing. South Dakota Searchlight previously reported that prosecutors pointed to Knutson’s lyrics, criminal history, controversial past, and public comments about Jan. 6 while arguing that incarceration was warranted. His catalog included politically charged records such as “Let’s Go Brandon (fjb)” and “Kyle Rittenhouse,” along with music referencing his ties to the Proud Boys.

Knutson now argues the consequences followed him well outside the courtroom. His lawsuit alleges restrictions prevented him from touring while repeated social media removals erased music that had accumulated millions of views. He also claims artist and label relationships disappeared as his online presence was dismantled. “His livelihood was destroyed,” the complaint states, describing social platforms as central to how he operated as an independent artist.

His attorneys are also alleging lasting health consequences from his incarceration. According to AllHipHop, Knutson argues delayed medical treatment in prison left him with breathing problems that now interfere with his ability to perform. Those claims remain allegations in the civil case and have not been established by a court.

President Donald Trump granted Knutson a pardon as part of his sweeping Jan. 20, 2025 clemency action covering people convicted of Jan. 6-related offenses. The White House proclamation granted full pardons to most convicted defendants while commuting the sentences of 14 others.

Per alleged sources in the publication’s report, authorities at the New Jersey prison stated the Bad Boy mogul will face “serious consequences” for these alleged violations. Diddy is now under solitary confinement at FCI Fort Dix, and it’s unclear for how long this will be.

As for the prison release date, his participation in a drug treatment program led to various expeditions of the date. But other instances have also led to other delays. So this back-and-forth process likely isn’t over even if this alleged violations situation clears up.

“Like all correctional agencies, contraband, particularly cell phones, narcotics, and weapons, remains a constant challenge. We continue to tackle the problem of contraband being introduced into our facilities,” the BOP reportedly told Deadline. The bureau reportedly did not offer specific comments about Sean Combs himself.

“Inmates are not permitted to have access to cell phones. All incarcerated individuals in the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) who are found to violate the ‘Inmate Discipline Program’ policy are subject to sanctions,” they added.

In addition, Combs’ crisis communication representative told Deadline this situation raises questions about who is obtaining information behind bars, and how. “There is something odd about all of this,” he reportedly stated. “Someone was apparently able to record Sean inside the prison, and numerous stories continue to emerge from inside the facility in real time. Yet the focus inevitably lands on the celebrity because he is the person everyone recognizes. There are legitimate questions about how recordings and information are making their way out of a federal prison in the first place. Focusing almost exclusively on the famous inmate may make the easiest headline. But it overlooks the broader question of how this material is being obtained and circulated.”

Diddy’s current prison release date is scheduled for January 21, 2028.

A lot of the discussion to this deluxe expansion centers around Drizzy’s “Choosin’ Texas” interpolation on the track “Solar Eclipse” featuring Don Toliver. The Cactus Jack star also appears on the new song “Cold Shoulder” alongside Yebba. But back to the Ella Langley reimagining, DJ Akademiks claimed the Toronto superstar did not claim any publishing for the release. Beyond that, though, fans were just happy to have the new material on streaming services.

It also follows one of these new tracks being removed from YouTube, as “Quebec” was originally part of the individual music video releases for “FOMO.” Now, though, die-hards can rest easy knowing the official release came around.

Drake’s HABIBTI (FOMO)

Still, anyone who hasn’t liked the 6ix God’s material this year (or at large) seems unconvinced by these new tracks. On the other hand, some folks loved ICEMAN so much that they want to hear bars and nothing more. It’s worth noting that some more rap-centric cuts from the “FOMO” short film haven’t gotten an official release yet. Maybe that will be for another deluxe edition or a Scary Hours EP, as some folks have predicted.

Drake initially announced these HABIBTI (FOMO) drops via a livestream, so fans were ready to dive in quick. While it’s nice to hear the new material, it hasn’t changed how most folks see the trilogy and this run, for better or for worse.

Fan Reactions

Meanwhile, Drake might play Coachella next year, if recent rumors are actually true. Although many fans think this is just reaching, he did confirm he’s going on a world tour in 2027. Maybe that festival will be one of the first stops. Either way, there’s a lot more Drizzy to look forward to in the future, and a lot more to criticize if he’s not your cup of tea.

The boot is all black, with a tall leather upper and a heavily paneled build. Stitched overlays wrap across the toe and run up the ankle. A chunky sole with cutouts sits underneath. Paired with his head-to-toe black leather fit, it all looks very intentional.

We’ve seen this boot before. Ye previewed it on Instagram back in August, alongside the new Yeezy 800 sneaker. Now we’re getting another look at it in person.

There’s still no release date or price for the boot. The Yeezy 800 sneaker is expected in December, so the boots could follow a similar timeline. Ye has also been dropping these previews with almost no warning.

The brand’s new JD Sports deal could help here. That partnership launched August 13th with five models, but the 800 wasn’t one of them. Fans have been waiting on new Yeezy boots since the Adidas split.

Yeezy 800 High Tactical Boots

Tactical boots are nothing new for Ye. Military-inspired designs run all through his Yeezy history, from Season 3 to the Yeezy 500 High Tactical Boot. The Sand pair of that boot dropped in 2024 for $300. It even had laces that double as a fire starter.

This new version feels like a different animal. The black leather paneling gives it a bit of a motorcycle boot energy. It’s more aggressive and a lot less soft than the old Adidas pairs. It also shows Ye leaning into rugged, utility-driven designs instead of chasing trends.

Resale is worth watching too. The 500 High Tactical Boot Sand has been trading below its $300 retail price on StockX. Supply and pricing will decide how hot these new boots get.

Ye’s footwear brand is clearly in a rebuild right now. A boot like this could be exactly what gives it some edge.

This upcoming legal battle will center on racketeering-related allegations that claim Durk carried out organized criminal activity. The three codefendants in question are Asa Houston, Deandre “OTF Dede” Wilson, and David “Browneyez” Lindsey. Houston got a trial severance, which means he’s still awaiting trial for the muder-for-hire charges. Meanwhile, Wilson and Lindsey received convictions in the recent murder-for-hire case, specifically on stalking charges. They are also appealing the stalking convictions.

They will all face trial together, according to reported court documents filed on Wednesday (September 30). “Due to the nature of the prosecution and the number of defendants, including the charges in the indictment and the voluminous discovery, this case is so unusual and so complex that it is unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings or for the trial itself within the Speedy Trial Act time limits,” the ruling reportedly reads.

However, another question that surged as a result of this relates to rumors that The Voice may be taking a plea deal. Journalist Michael Blackshire was quick to dispel this assumption on Twitter, tweeting earlier today (Friday, October 2) to dismiss this speculation.

“There is zero evidence that Lil Durk is going to take a plea deal,” he wrote. “Nothing in the last motion of the trial delay insinuated anything regarding a plea deal. If anything, Lil Durk’s team is banking on receiving a bond. We will find out next month.”

When Is Lil Durk’s Trial?

For those unaware, Lil Durk’s VICAR trial is set to begin on August 30, 2027. A bond hearing for him will take place on November 4, and some folks expect him to walk free or avoid the trial altogether.

All in all, it’s been a long road for the Chicago rapper and his codefendants. We will soon find out exactly how things will play out ahead of the scheduled VICAR trial.

Via Twitter, he shared a quick reaction to the trial delay, positing it could be a strategy move. Cohen is not the only legal expert who has weighed in here, and debates over what’s to come will persist until the court ends the case for one reason or another.

“Durk trial moved to next summer is a strategy move,” he wrote on the social media platform last night (Thursday, October 1). “My guess is there will be motions filed and negotiations to see if this can be resolved with the time he has in by that time essentially. I do not think that case ever goes to trial.”

For those unaware, a bond hearing for Durk on November 4 of this year indicated to fans that his original VICAR trial’s start date of October 5 would inevitably change. What many folks didn’t expect was that the delay would be so significant.

Who Is Lil Durk’s Lawyer?

If you’re unfamiliar with this lawyer, Bradford Cohen’s commented on the Lil Durk case before. He has a lot of experience with hip-hop-adjacent cases in particular, as he worked on the defense teams for YNW Melly, Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, Polo G, and others.

As for Cohen’s comments on The Voice, he commented on the murder-for-hire trial, which ended with Durk’s acquittal. He predicted the jury’s most important decision would be which witnesses to trust, and this became evident when the trial ended. We’ll see if this prediction about the VICAR trial will yield similar results.

Elsewhere, Lil Durk’s lawyer Drew Findling also spoke about his client’s legal situation, particularly after the murder-for-hire acquittal. He, his team, and their client expressed joy over the verdict, but they understand there’s still a long road ahead.
