“You’ll turn into Puffy if you don’t respect it, and you gon’ do some time,” Harvey remarked. “He was old enough to really get it together. But he didn’t… You have to practice acts of kindness. You’ve got to be a gentleman through it all. Dudes gon’ have more than one chick… But you don’t have to be abusive with it, and abrasive with it. Puffy was doing all this and getting away with a lot. But when that video came out… What you doing? For you to be a public figure… That’s your reaction to this girl? That’s what we caught on tape… My goodness, what’s been going on when you ain’t in front of the elevator?”

Steve said Puff is “not a good person” and said he had to pay. “Sin cost you more than you want to pay, and it makes you stay longer than you want to stay,” he added. “And that’s what he’s in now. He had the power to do whatever he wanted to do. But just because you can do something don’t mean you should… [Kris Fade,] you ask God for forgiveness… You’ve apologized. That’s how you get through life. If you don’t do that, man, you got to go to prison.”

Diddy Lawsuit

Steve Harvey also talked about meeting Diddy before, explaining that he kept his distance due to rumors he heard.

In more recent Sean Combs news, Diddy is facing a new civil trial over accusations from one of Cassie Ventura’s friends. Bryana Bongolan sued him for allegedly dangling her over a balcony and physically assaulting her at Cassie’s Los Angeles apartment in 2016. We will see how that case develops along with other civil situations amid his prison sentence.

“Proud to announce my latest venture,” the former Roc-A-Fella executive captioned his post. “We are searching for the best Hungry and talented Recording Artist, Videographers, Engineers, Producers, Make up artist, Stylist and Digital Marketers. Share and Tag Your Favorite Creatives. Come Get With The Hottest Record Label In The World. Please email your portfolio to: Dashrecordinglabel@gmail.com.”

This is a pretty exciting move for Dame, who has recently been dealing with some financial struggle and a lot of pushback in other business, art, and entertainment ventures. We will see how Dash Records shapes up in the near future, as it’s still in the very early stages of growth and development.

Whether or not the New York native enlists newer or older names in music remains to be seen. Either way, this could lead to a lot of success for him and a great chance to get back in the game.

Dame Dash’s Roc-A-Fella Memories

But this new move doesn’t mean old endeavors are completely irrelevant. Dame Dash has reminisced a lot about Roc-A-Fella, whether in positive or negative lights. Most recently, he claimed Jay-Z didn’t want to sign Lupe Fiasco because of competitive ego.

“I don’t think he would ever help a rapper be bigger than him,” Dame remarked. “Just human nature-wise. But I do remember, Lupe was supposed to be with us… Lupe ended up signing to Atlantic. But Lupe was supposed to be at Roc-A-Fella. So that’s the only rapper, I think – but I don’t think he saw him as a threat at the time. But he didn’t sign him for a reason. Again, it was a while ago, but as it relates to that question, that’s all I can remember.”

Elsewhere, Dame Dash got a talk show approved, so he’s doing other things to boost his profile and business acumen these days. We’ll see how he uses them and who he works with to grow and expand.

Via collab posts with these artists, she teased the featured guests on the LP by showing off designs mixing her cheetah print iconography with that of her peers. Savage was the first one: a knife with a cheetah print hilt. Some fans initially thought this was referring to the name of their baby. But subsequent posts cleared the air.

The next tease was of female military solider figurine, harkening to Mariah The Scientist. Then, the Columbus-born lyricist posted a Nigerian flag to announce a Wizkid appearance. XXL caught these on IG.

But yesterday (Sunday, May 24), she added more fuel to the fire by posting a rose, announcing that a Teyana Taylor collab is also on the way. This is all very exciting news, and we’ll see if more social media collab posts with the featured guests announce the whole guest list before the full-length comes out.

When Is Latto Dropping Big Mama?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Big mama (@latto)

Latto is dropping Big Mama this Friday (May 29), and she already paved the way for it with some singles. “Business & Personal (Intro)” led the charge with the album and pregnancy announcement. Then, she dropped the “GOMF” collaboration with GloRilla, so we know the Memphis star will be another feature on here.

Other Latto collab speculation refers to some of her friends, one of which went to her recent baby shower. Sexyy Red recently posted footage of them at the celebration, congratulating her on this amazing moment of her life.

They have never collaborated on a solo track together, although they both contributed to the “Peaches & Eggplants” remix from Young Nudy. Will they link up on Big Mama? We’ll have to wait and see. In any case, these collaboration teases are building up a lot of hype for this moment.

Since that time, it appears as though the artist has taken a break from the public eye. He is doing his own thing, and that is probably for the best. He was even spotted in the studio with Quavo, which gives some feeling that a Migos reunion is on the horizon.

Recently, Offset was out and about, where he was asked about Drake’s new album ICEMAN. Offset revealed that he believes the song of the summer is on the album. While some would argue the song of the summer is “Janice STFU,” Offset claims it is actually “Shabang.”

Offset Loves “Shabang”

“Shabang” is an excellent choice for Offset, especially when you consider how there are some Quavo ad-libs on the song. Overall, “Shabang” has some catchy production, although there are some people online who have clowned the song for Drake’s nursery rhyme flow.

Whatever the case may be, Drake is winning right now. His three albums are the top three on the Billboard 200. Due to Memorial Day, the Billboard Hot 100 will only come out on Wednesday. However, it is expected that Drake will have upwards of 40 songs on the charts. Furthermore, “Janice STFU” is expected to be the number one song.

This is a huge comeback for the artist, who was counted out after the beef with Kendrick Lamar in 2024. Two years later, Drake remains on top, and his fans aren’t going away, anytime soon.

This allegedly went down during Nicki Minaj’s White House visit, specifically for the Trump Accounts event. However, it’s unclear if the interaction with Cruz was at the White House or the Capitol building. Either way, the Trump advisor responded to a picture of him with Minaj and the senator that a Barb account posted.

“Not to overexaggerate, but I’ve never seen anything like it,” Alex Bruesewitz claimed. “@tedcruz and his staff literally sprinted down the hallway screaming ‘Nicki! Nicki! Nicki!’ begging Nicki Minaj for a picture. I told Ted we were in a rush, we had to get to the White House and didn’t have time to stop for photos with every fan. (To her credit, Nicki stopped and took pics with as many staffers and elected officials as she could.) We just didn’t have time for Ted. Plus, brand-wise, it’s not exactly a good look to pose with Lyin’ Ted, so I was looking out for my girl.

“After getting turned down for the formal photo, Ted cornered us on the way out and his team snapped this shot as we were leaving just to make him look cool,” he continued. “Extremely creepy. I sure as heck won’t be taking any foreign policy advice from a guy who behaves like that.”

Nicki Minaj’s Elon Musk Visit

Nicki Minaj’s alignment with Donald Trump and conservatives has even extended to on-and-off-again foes of Trump. For example, she recently visited the Starbase facility in Texas for the latest SpaceX Starship launch from Elon Musk, praising his work.

Elsewhere, the Queen of the Barbz’s other political criticisms continue to cause debate, such as her thoughts on Jay-Z ruining former U.S. president Barack Obama. But maybe even conservatives like Ted Cruz have a hard time finding her full favor.

The photos show the kids strolling through the luxury area’s woods in matching tracksuits, with a golf cart not far behind. The family reportedly had two golf carts; Bey drove one, Sir or Hov rode another. As for the context of this outing, no one really knows. But it’s always heartening to see them out and about without celebrity pressures and outside of celebrity environments… albeit this being in the Hamptons.

This rare sighting comes amid Jay-Z’s recent beef-related headlines, as a few disses against him emerged on the new Drake album ICEMAN. Jay previously downplayed having any issues with him or even giving him time in his mind. The Hamptons are certainly a viable distraction, and rumors of him responding to any of those shots seem very unlikely.

Also, there’s no greater distraction than family. We’ll see if folks spot them on any other adventures together these days.

Jay-Z & Beyoncé’s Children

For those unaware, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children have varying relationships to public life. Blue Ivy has been a star in her own right, and is the kid most folks see in public. Twins Rumi and Sir, on the other hand, don’t appear as much, as the parents want to protect their privacy and they are reportedly not as keen when it comes to celebrity. Despite many rumors about them floating around the Internet, they continue to prioritize their own wellness above public check-ins.

Beyoncé and her family recently made a splash at the Met Gala this year, with Blue and her husband accompanying her. It was her first Met Gala in a decade, and her diamond skeleton dress made jaws drop. While this Hamptons outing isn’t as luxurious, it’s still nice to see our most publicized celebrities be human and take a stroll in the park.

If you were watching, then you would know that Supa Hot Fire won thanks to a second-round stoppage. However, Supa Hot Fire didn’t do anything in the first round. He refused to throw a punch and simply danced around the ring. Ray J subsequently accused the fight of being rigged.

On his stream, Adin Ross revealed that the fight will be investigated, because Ray J has a point.

“Ray J obviously what he said after the fight… Supahot not throwing a fucking punch like in the first round, we need to look into that,” Ross said. “We need to investigate that.”

Adin Ross Looks To Make Things Right

Ross went on to say that Supa Hot Fire has been a sensational fighter so far. That said, the first round did appear suspicious, and Ray J has a right to be upset and to question things.

“Supahot has been nothing but a great fighter,” he continued. “Supa looked like himself in the second round. Now do I know why Ray J said what he said? No I don’t. … We’re taking that shit very seriously. It looked weird bro.”

Whether or not Brand Risk comes to any conclusions on the matter is something that very much remains to be seen. Ultimately, when betting companies like “Rainbet” are involved, questions are going to arise. People are going to be skeptical, and Ross is going to have to weather that storm.

Perhaps in the future, the streamer will need to reevaluate who he goes into business with, especially if it puts his fights into question.

“Not enough big girls w they whole stomach out fa meeee,” the caption read. The singer wore a magenta bikini, a scarf around her head, and matched the look with earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet.

Lizzo’s talked a lot about body positivity before, previously calling out changing standards for plus-sized women. In a Substack essay titled “Why is everybody losing weight and what do we do? Sincerely, a person who’s lost weight,” she warned how weight-loss drugs are leaving these women behind.

“Once something becomes for everyone, the people it was created for are edged out,” the 38-year-old wrote. She spoke on her own personal journey, indicating her weight loss is more about wellness than appearance. Hopefully more discussions about these topics continue to center the women who go through these questions, debates, and criticisms rather than folks policing body image and encouraging restrictive standards.

Lizzo’s Bikini Pics

Elsewhere, though, Lizzo is reflecting on her industry peers beyond questions of body image. On Joel Madden’s Artist Friendly podcast, she spoke on the erroneous notion that all celebrity collaborators are good friends.

“Even people who have songs together, people think they’re besties,” the Detroit native remarked. “It’s like, no. I like them as an artist, I respect their music and we collabed. But like, I sent them files. They recorded it and sent it back to me… I don’t really have many people who [I can] talk to about this sort of thing. I talk to SZA, I love her. She’s one of the only few people… But like, she’s the only person that I can call and be like, ‘Okay b***h,’ and she’s like, ‘Okay.'”

Amid Lizzo’s new music, we’ll see what else she has to say about these topics. She has been the subject of a lot of body conversations, but she’s making where she stands clear.

Over the weekend, Ross had one of his biggest Brand Risk events to date. Supa Hot Fire fought against Ray J, while Lance Stephenson took on Michael Beasley. There was even a fight between Johnny Manziel and Bob Menery.

During the press conference for this event, Ross was asked about whether or not Drake would ever get in the ring. More specifically, he was asked if Drake could defeat Kendrick Lamar in a boxing match.

Ross practically scoffed at the question, claiming that Drizzy would “beat the f*ck” out of Kendrick. We will probably never know.

Adin Ross Gives His Take On Drake vs. Kendrick

Following the event, Adin Ross was on stream where he revealed that Drake is gearing up to be a co-owner of Brand Risk. Quite frankly, this makes a ton of sense. Drake is in business with Kick and Stake. Meanwhile, these are two brands that Ross helped popularize. It only makes sense that Drizzy would tap in, especially now that Brand Risk is bringing in bigger celebrity fighters.

A good example of this was Manziel’s inclusion in Saturday night’s show. Drake and Manziel are good friends, and we can imagine Drizzy vouching for Ross’ new boxing promotion.

Whether or not Brand Risk is able to up the ante with their next show still remains to be seen. However, after the Ray J fight from this weekend, it is clear that they have achieved some positive momentum.

Per the outlet, a trial date of May 3, 2027 is what is on track in court. Sean Combs, Bad Boy Entertainment LLC, and his CeOpco LLC corporate entity appear as codefendants. His lawyers reportedly expressed concern for the trial’s scheduling due to his current and projected April 15, 2028 release date. If this goes all the way to a civil jury trial, it could be the third time the Bad Boy mogul does so.

That’s because his federal case’s conclusion was followed by Diddy’s demand for a jury trial concerning the lawsuit against him from Clayton Howard. The former escort sued for $20 million over allegations that Combs and Cassie abused him and mistreated him for “freak-off” parties. In addition, Puff is appealing his conviction over Mann Act violations.

Bryana Bongolan’s Diddy Allegations

For those unaware, creative director Bryana Bongolan’s accusations against Diddy are that he dangled her over a 17th-floor balcony in Los Angeles, specifically in September of 2016 at Cassie’s apartment. Per the lawsuit, he allegedly held her for up to 15 seconds before throwing her back on the patio.

Bongolan claimed the assault caused bruises, back pain, neck pain, and years-long trauma. Her testimony at Sean Combs’ federal criminal trial included claims about her constantly waking up screaming in her sleep due to the trauma. Bongolan also invoked her Fifth Amendment rights before the testimony, leading to the judge’s immunity order.

The defense team accused her of being a heavy drug user who was under the influence during the alleged incident, allegations she denied.

We will see what comes of this potential civil trial and the other legal matters on Diddy’s plate. He could have many more loose ends to respond to when he gets out of jail, or during his stay.
