Of course, nothing about these separate situations directly connects to each other, so take fans’ comparisons with a massive grain of salt. The conversation stems from some social media posts Moore made about attending a Combs-hosted Kentucky Derby party in 2018, according to AllHipHop.

“What a great week in Paris!” the fired former coach tweeted before the 2018 party. “Such a blessing to be a part of the Michigan family! Off to the ville for the weekend to enjoy the #KentuckyDerby Festivities! @trifectagala hosted by @Diddy tonight to start it off!

“Great night with @klenzmoore!” he captioned his Instagram post of the party itself. “Got to see @jb_the_great_68 and so happy for him and his success! @diddy put on a show! #Trifectaafterparty #BadBoy #derbyweekend.”

The Trifecta Gala is obviously not the same as Diddy’s scandalous “freak-off” parties, so again, tread lightly with this revelation. It’s more of a question of context than it is anything concrete, which is a dangerous grey area.

What’s Going On With Sherrone Moore?

For those unaware of the Sherrone Moore scandal, authorities arrested him on Wednesday (December 10) on charges of misdemeanor stalking, third-degree home invasion, and breaking and entering. Following a virtual Friday (December 12) court appearance, his bond was set at $25,000 along with orders for GPS monitoring, mandatory mental health treatment, and no contact with his stalking victim.

The victim in question is reportedly a female Michigan staffer with whom the married Moore allegedly had an inappropriate relationship for years. She reportedly cut it off on Monday, December 8, which allegedly resulted in him calling and texting her incessantly, her reporting this to university authorities, him breaking into her apartment, and him threatening to take his own life after grabbing knives and scissors.

University of Michigan’s Athletic Director Warde Manuel fired Sherrone Moore after hearing of his mental health issues and this situation. The institution had reportedly investigated his relationship with women three times over the eight years he spent there.

As for this resurfaced Diddy connection, it shouldn’t come as much surprise that Internet sleuths searched for receipts. That’s because the new Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning revitalized scrutiny against him and his alleged peers, even if this specific connection is barely existent, and not suggestive of anything.

For those unaware, this weekend, footage surfaced of Rock getting jumped by at least two women at a park in the area. Hollywood Unlocked caught the clips and the fallout on Instagram. The women asked her about gang affiliations, and one of them slapped her when she reached for her phone. A larger fight broke out later, and the women even bragged about it on social media.

However, the Baddies alum said she left the scene unscathed and said the whole thing was a viral play on behalf of the assailants. Also, Chrisean Rock said she defended herself and blasted folks bringing continued negativity to her life.

Allegedly, this all happened due to her disrespecting gang culture. Blueface has been associated with the Crips when it comes to his public image for many years. However, the exact play-by-play here is unclear.

But when Blueface trolled Chrisean Rock and responded to this on his Instagram Story, that’s when the two clashed once more. “Don’t play with LA gang culture you will get slapped in yo ish for some ish you don’t know about,” he wrote, prompting a long response from her on IG.

“I went to Compton for the kids no security,” Chrisean Rock clapped back at Blueface. “These girls tried playing and then I got in the field. Blueface you scared to go to your own hood let alone Compton. Nobody got scared or punked 6 against 1 straight up. You trynna pick on me on instagram is pathetic. They got whooped. The girl that tried slapping me was scared to fight. She sent 5 girls on me instead of one on one and nobody went to no car. I stayed there till they got the courage to swing and they did nothing.”

Chrisean also questioned Blue’s Crip authenticity, brought up how he shared their son’s genitals online, and brought up their history of domestic violence. We will see if they apologize again or if they continue to bash each other.

Although this isn’t a confirmation of participation, their long history together means this might actually pan out. The G-Unit mogul took to Instagram on Saturday (December 13) to share the news and put some more public pressure on Slim Shady to follow through.

“I’m gonna get @eminem on deck to make some music for this movie Street Fighter. New Music on the way!” Fif wrote on IG. Hopefully this reach-out results in some legitimate bangers for the film.

While 50 Cent hasn’t released new solo music in a while, Eminem has not yet let the ink dry. Whether it’s The Death Of Slim Shady or new songs for the STANS soundtrack, he clearly continues to hit the studio. So maybe this iconic video game’s latest screen adaptation is enough to get those creative juices flowing and make magic.

When Does Street Fighter Come Out?

Street Fighter comes out on October 16, 2026, which means these two members of the Dr. Dre family tree have plenty of time to craft some new tracks. Of course, it’s probably not that simple. Then again, maybe they could reach a middle ground of some sort and license previously released material for use in the movie’s soundtrack.

Elsewhere, this follows a big media month for 50 Cent. His executive production of Netflix’s Diddy docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning has been divisive and controversial for various reasons. Amid all the success, acclaim, legal threats, resurfaced allegations, and more, 50 is just happy that folks are tuning in.

Meanwhile, this would be Eminem’s latest video game crossover of some kind. The new Hitman game included a Slim Shady-themed mission, which was quite unique to see. But for the casual crowd, new music from the Detroit legend is a much easier sell.

In the comments section of keep6ixsolid‘s Instagram coverage of Darden addressing the situation, Drizzy left a simple emoji of a hatchet. We can’t imagine he feels too sorry for the radio show. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time that Drake mocked a media naysayer.

His infamous feud with Joe Budden resulted in a long and scathing Instagram comment against him back in the For All The Dogs days. That obviously goes back much further than that, but it goes to show that these rifts are about much more than any one specific comment or criticism.

As for Ebro, he’s been laughing off the Internet users who are celebrating his downfall, such as other media figures like DJ Akademiks and DJ Vlad. Maybe this stings a little bit differently coming from the 6ix God, but we doubt that’s his biggest sore spot.

Ebro Darden most recently blasted Drake and his fans for supposedly not caring about hip-hop. Bas came to the Toronto superstar’s defense, as did many others.

As for why “Ebro In The Morning” got canceled, Darden theorized that his political views and corporate interests got in the way. “You know those three licenses that they got here in New York City for the casinos? The guy that owns this s**t owns one of the casino’s licenses. He got to raise half a billion dollars,” he posited.

“They need my s**t-talking, anti-Netanyahu, anti-government, progressive s**t out the way, bro,” Ebro continued. “They need me out the way. They’re trying to get to these bags that these VCs got, raise some capital. They don’t really care. Especially for a Hot 97 or a WBLS, they don’t give a f**k about hip-hop or Black music or Black community, they don’t give a f**k about none of that. They give a f**k about access. They give a f**k about being able to bring their little nerdy friends to the concerts. ‘Cause that helps them raise money. They’ve been trying to get to me for years, bro. Years.”

The high-profile romance also arrived at a moment when celebrity couples were becoming marketable machines. There was Brangelina, Bennifer, but before them, there was J.Lo and Diddy. Tabloids chased them, and red carpets became arenas. Everything they wore was catalogued. Everything they did made headlines. The relationship fed that glamorous, yet chaotic cycle that was impossible to look away from.

Yet, beneath it all was something harder to name at the time. Then, there was the night in December 1999 when both were arrested after a shooting in a Manhattan club, which became a turning point for both of their careers. It would change how the public would remember what had once looked like a fantasy.

Now, in the wake of The Reckoning, a four-part documentary detailing decades of abuse allegations against Combs, their relationship is being reexamined. Not for scandal, but for context. For signs. For the things we didn’t have language for then, but can’t ignore now.

1999: Where It Started

They met on set. Jennifer Lopez was filming the music video for “If You Had My Love,” her debut single as a Pop artist. It was spring 1999. She was moving from Hollywood into music. Sean Combs was already everywhere.

The connection turned personal almost immediately. By the time the video hit the airwaves in May, they were a couple. Within weeks, Lopez had her first No. 1 single, and Combs, still going by Puff Daddy, was appearing in her orbit more visibly. There was no official announcement. They just started showing up together.

By September, they walked the MTV VMAs side by side in matching white. The message was clear that this wasn’t just a fling, but was also branding. Lopez was ascending, and Combs, who had built his entire label around visibility, understood how to step into the moment. Together, they drew more attention than either of them had alone.

And it worked…for a while. They were photographed constantly. Headlines followed their every move. From fashion week to hotel lobbies to VIP sections, they were hard to miss. It was one of the most heavily documented celebrity relationships of the era.

Even then, cracks showed. Combs had a reputation for chaos. Lopez, whose image was tightly managed as she pushed for mainstream success, was under pressure to keep things polished. The two were rarely seen apart, but behind the coordinated looks and red carpet flash, the relationship was already explosive.

December 1999: Club New York

The night that changed everything wasn’t supposed to be anything more than a party. On December 27, 1999, Combs and Lopez stepped into Club New York in Midtown Manhattan. It was a known spot for artists, athletes, and people who could get past the ropes. They were joined by friends and security, including Combs’s then-protégé, rapper Shyne.

What happened next unraveled in seconds, and is still up for debate. An argument reportedly broke out and a drink was thrown. Then came gunfire. Three people were injured before Combs and Lopez fled the scene in a Lincoln Navigator. Police caught up with them just blocks away. Inside the car, authorities reportedly found a loaded gun. They were arrested, along with Shyne.

Lopez was released by the next morning. Her charges were dropped within hours. However, Combs was facing weapons charges, and eventually, a high-profile trial. It became national news. The headlines didn’t just mention her name, they built the story around it. Lopez’s team moved fast to protect her image. Combs hired lawyers and leaned into denial.

For Lopez, the arrest marked a turning point. Behind the scenes, her camp pushed distance. She made fewer public appearances with Combs in the weeks that followed.

Meanwhile, Combs faced a trial that dragged into 2001. He was eventually acquitted, but the damage was done. His reputation took a hit. Shyne was convicted. The club shooting didn’t end Combs and Lopez’s relationship, but it made its reality harder to avoid. This wasn’t just a celebrity couple anymore. This was legal drama and the beginning of the end.

In 2002, Lopez sat down with Diane Sawyer to reflect on that time.

“I just think that I, at that time, cared very deeply for Sean,” the singer said. “And you know, we just didn’t have the same kind of ideals about life and family and stuff like that… It just wasn’t a good relationship for me. It didn’t have so much to do with him as it had to do with me at the time.”

“I had to learn to care about myself a little bit more and put up certain boundaries of what I would accept and wouldn’t accept because really he was just being himself. He wasn’t doing anything wrong, and he felt like he loved me very much, and I know he did, and I felt the same way,” she continued. “So if I was unhappy in some way, then I was the one who had to do something. Not him. He was doing everything he wanted to do.”

2000–2001: The Breakup & What Came After

In the months following the Club New York shooting, Jennifer Lopez and Sean Combs were still technically together, but something had shifted. The photos slowed down and the red carpets stopped. By early 2001, it was over.

Then, a few months later, she married choreographer Cris Judd. For a long time, that was the only public signal that her chapter with Combs had closed. Yet, that didn’t mean the conversations regarding the pair had ceased. In 2003, Lopez spoke with Vibe about the end of her relationship with Diddy.

“It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful,” she said at the time. “I was in this relationship with Puff where I was totally crying, crazy, and going nuts.”

Further, Lopez explained that she decided to call it quits because she didn’t want to wake up in 10 years with children and a partner who would party until 3 or 4 in the morning every day.

The breakup wasn’t as clean for Combs. He continued to speak about Lopez in interviews, sometimes calling her “one of the great loves of my life,” hinting at regret. Lopez never returned that energy. She stayed silent on the details, focused on her career, and rarely acknowledged that time at all.

“Well, you know, I wish her the best in her life. I always have,” Diddy told The New Yorker in 2002. “But … Look, if she is happy, then I am happy for her.”

Memory, Revisited

For years, the relationship between Lopez and Puff was frozen in time. With Sean Combs: The Reckoning streaming on Netflix and abuse allegations resurfacing from multiple of the Bad Boy icon’s former partners, those old images now carry a different weight.

Lopez hasn’t publicly commented on the documentary. She hasn’t spoken about Combs in years, and certainly not about the darker patterns now under scrutiny. Still, the public doesn’t forget. Clips of them walking together, holding hands, smiling for cameras — they circulate again, this time in threads about the cost of being adjacent to power.

“We spent three years of our lives together, you know, almost every single day,” Lopez told Access Hollywood in 2014. “Seeing him involved in Revolt and all the things that he’s done as a businessman and still being so true to his music and his art, trying to uplift his community in his own way, and it’s the same thing that I try to do, and I feel like I learned a lot from him coming up, watching him.”

“I’ll always be grateful to him for that and I love that he can be so supportive of me so many years later and there’s still so much mutual respect, admiration and love there.”

The short, glamorous story they shared is now part of a larger narrative. There’s no record that Lopez experienced the kinds of violence detailed in the doc, but people are rethinking, that at the time, it sounded like heartbreak. In 2025, it sounds like something closer to escape.

Album: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS?

Quotable Lyrics from “Gang Over Everything”

Talkin’ to my codeine, that shi*t sad, that’s what I cope with
I’ma be a man if I’m rich or if I’m broken
Why you feel like it’s my job to make sure you got motion?
You know you got them n****s out here sayin’ the fame changed me
I got thirty n****s right here sayin’ that I’m the same me

The post Gang Over Everything – Song by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

The reason why fans made a big deal out of this new song is because of her lyrics on the cut. “F***ing on this British man / Crib look like the Buckingham,” the Atlanta femcee rapped. Seems easy enough, right? Following years of speculation, referencing a British man on a song with someone born in the United Kingdom seems like a surefire message.

Still, we can’t help but keep a grain of salt on the side. After all, they could just be playing in folks’ faces over these rumors and driving more engagement with these little hints. But considering that Latto called 21 Savage her “husband” during a TMZ street interview, maybe we’re playing too much 4D chess. Or maybe they are… Jokes aside, they certainly achieved their goal, whatever it was.

Where Is 21 Savage From?

However, there is one person who thinks much less of 21 Savage’s British origins. After he dissed Tekashi 6ix9ine in his Perspektives With Bank interview, the New York provocateur clapped back with a comical skit. In it, he played the King of England denying Savage travel to Atlanta. For those unaware, he was born in the United Kingdom and moved to Atlanta as a seven-year-old.

Of course, we doubt that 21 Savage will respond to 6ix9ine anytime in the future, save for another casual stray like the one in the Bank interview. Still, it’s ironic to have 21’s background pop up this week under wildly different contexts.

But 6ix9ine’s also addressed Latto and 21 Savage’s relationship. During an interview with DJ Vlad in which he played “F**k, Marry, Kill” with her, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ice Spice as the options, he chose to marry her in order to spite the Slaughter Gang CEO.

“I’m definitely marrying Latto. I’ma marry Latto so she could give a green card to her husband,” Tekashi remarked. If what she said about her “man” is true, he might be late to the party.

In a clip caught by Kurrco on Twitter, you can see the fan in the crowd spell out her name for K.Dot. A staff member handed Kalina the hat while she was on an unidentified person’s shoulders, presumably a family member. The crowd roared for her as she shed tears, smiled, and put the hat on.

“She was official from the start,” the “Grand National” performer expressed. “Now she’s super, super, duper official. Make some noise for Kalina. […] Now, on three, we gon’ sing happy birthday to Kalina. Don’t mess this up. The cameras is everywhere. We gon’ take this back to America. One, two, three…” Lamar led the crowd’s singing and joined in on the song.

Other social media accounts have reported that Kalina is Aboriginal, but this hasn’t been confirmed. We will see if folks get to hear her story firsthand one day.

Kendrick Lamar Tour

With these final Split Milk shows, Kendrick Lamar’s wrapping up his “Grand National” tour. This massive victory lap after the Drake battle, GNX, big Grammy wins, and his Super Bowl halftime show has been a lot to take in, whether you’re a “K.Bot,” an “OV-Hoe,” or somewhere in the middle. Most recently, Australia opener and TDE colleague ScHoolboy Q joined the Compton lyricist on stage for a special rendition of “Collard Greens.”

The tour was wildly successful, but its conclusion leaves many question marks in its wake. Will we have to wait another two to five years for what’s next? Will it even be new music? Is the next big thing Kendrick Lamar’s movie with the South Park creators?

We’ll just have to wait and see. After many special moments, fans experienced something massive.

The kicks dropped back in August 2025 and quickly became a favorite. Paul’s footwear choice didn’t go unnoticed. BMX legend Nigel Sylvester himself commented on the Instagram post. “Aye @jakepaul good footwear fam,” Sylvester wrote.

The “Better With Time” colorway features black tumbled leather with intentional scuff marks across the upper. It’s designed to look worn-in straight out of the box. Cream accents hit the Swoosh, laces, and Wings logo.

A varsity red outsole adds a pop of color to the otherwise understated look. The pre-distressed aesthetic mirrors the wear and tear Sylvester’s own Jordans endure from BMX riding.

Sylvester’s “Bike Air” branding appears on the tongue and insoles. Inside the collar, “Jordan Biking Co.” stamps complete the collaborative details.

Jake Paul v. Anthony Joshua

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Jake Paul (@jakepaul)

The face-off itself became instant meme material. Paul stood on his tippy toes while staring down the much larger Joshua.

He faces Joshua this Friday at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The fight streams live on Netflix and carries a reported $184 million purse. Paul typically fights at cruiserweight around 200 pounds. Joshua is a massive heavyweight who can’t weigh more than 245 pounds per the fight contract.

The size difference was jarring at their first face-off. Joshua towered over Paul, standing 6-foot-6 compared to Paul’s 6-foot-1 frame. Paul’s comical approach to the staredown shows he’s not taking himself too seriously despite the massive stakes.

Jake Paul’s Boxing Record

Paul has been building his boxing resume strategically. He defeated Mike Tyson in November 2024 in front of 108 million viewers. He followed that with a unanimous decision over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June 2025.

That win earned him a No. 14 ranking in the WBA cruiserweight division. Now he’s jumping up to heavyweight to face a former two-time unified champion. The fight is sanctioned and professional, not an exhibition.

Overall, Jake Paul’s boxing record stands at 12-1, with his single loss to Tommy Fury. Jake is certainly not afraid to get in the ring.

Paul has been training with heavyweight contenders Frank Sachez, Jared Anderson, and Lawrence Okolie to prepare. Joshua represents Paul’s biggest test yet. And Paul made sure to look the part with the Nigel Sylvester Lows on his feet.

Newsom’s team’s clip uses the “Megan’s Law” bar to criticize Trump’s alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein, including more photos from Trump at Epstein’s parties and “Trump condoms” the sex offender allegedly handed out. This, of course, did not please the Queen of the Barbz.

“Career politician at the brink of his moment realigns to become nothing more than a Nicki Minaj ANTI,” she wrote on Twitter. “OOF. So now he’s the guy running on ‘wanting to see trans kids’ AND willing to lower himself to becoming just another FEMALE RAPPER to get obliterated by NICKI MINAJ. #FREEChristians #NewScum.” “Wanting to see more TRANSKIDS NEWSOME GRUESOME Haha Fire victims? Nah Hollywood? Nah Swatting calls to homes with innocent children? Nah GAVIN WANTS ONE THING. TRANSKIDS NEWSOME this one made me laugh really loud LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Gotta admit I’m funny.”

“Oh gavvy Pooh the ppl behind you clearly don’t care about you,” the Trinidadian superstar went on. “I can go a lot deeper. Arch your back. Today you get another chance. Tmrw no more. I’d switch gears. You & your entire team. Blessings.” She also tweeted about pandering and joked about Governor Newsom transitioning.

For those unaware, Nicki Minaj blasted Gavin Newsom recently amid his defense of trans kids, taking to Twitter to fire off. “Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids,” she wrote “Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids. Not Gav The Gav Nots GavOUT Send in the next guy, I’m bored.”

Nicki Minaj’s recent Trump support also adds a lot to this narrative. As for her beef with Gavin Newsom, he allegedly didn’t help out when she reached out about swatting incidents at her home in the state. And Megan Thee Stallion is just watching it all go down without a word.
