He confirmed that the Bad Boy founder didn’t try to kill him during a Hollywood Reporter roundtable yesterday, per TMZ. Foxx admitted that he did temporarily buy into a different theory, that doctors were trying to create a white clone of him.

He was convinced that it was part of an attempt to make him “sell better overseas.” At the time, he was on various medications. “I’m sitting in the hospital bed, like, ‘These b*tch-a** motherf*ckers are trying to clone me.’ And then I saw me walk into my room, but I’m white, so I see the white me,” he recalled.

Foxx says he even went off on his psychiatrist over the bizarre theory. “I saw you trying to get the white motherf*cking Jamie Foxx and it ain’t going to happen,” he told them. As a result, his dosage of pain meds was lowered.

Diddy is currently on trial, facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Several people from his past have taken the stand so far, including Cassie, a male exotic dancer nicknamed “The Punisher,” his ex-assistant, and more.

Kid Cudi even testified yesterday (May 22), alleging that Diddy once broke into his home and traumatized his dog. He also revealed that his Porsche was set on fire with a Molotov cocktail in 2012, and that he suspected the mogul was allegedly behind it.

A 2021 lawsuit from an anonymous man accused the DJ of sexual abuse and sex trafficking, allegedly starting when the John Doe was 12 years old. The supposed timeframe of 1991 to 1995 for these alleged crimes suggests Bambaataa would’ve been 33 or 34 years old when the alleged abuse began.

Since he never legally responded to these allegations, Judge Alexander M. Tisch granted Doe a default judgement “without opposition” in New York court. “An assessment of damages against defendant Lance Taylor shall be referred to a Special Referee for inquest,” online court documents reportedly indicate.

This anonymous lawsuit emerged about five years after Afrika Bambaataa’s allegations blew up. This was thanks to accusations from Ronald Savage, who claims he sexually abused him as a minor in the 1980s. Bambaataa denied these accusations and many others which emerged in its wake, and refrained from the public eye ever since.

This follows another allegation against Afrika Bambaataa, this time from French rapper Solo. He claims the rap trailblazer sexually assaulted him when he was only 16 years old.

But as far as Ronald Savage’s allegations against Afrika Bambaataa, the two actually recently linked up. Savage walked back his accusations and stated the following to AllHipHop after their meeting: “Never underestimate the power of God when he intervenes in an affair he sets everything straight.”

“Bambaataa is not a pedophile and, in my eyes, he was doing something that was consensual with someone that he thought was of age,” Savage said in an interview with Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur. “I wish, back in 2016, I remembered about the fake ID, I wasn’t thinking about that I had forgot about that I was in deep depression and still dealing with the trauma as an adult. I want to apologize for the little kid that didn’t know anybody and just wanted to be down with this thing called hip-hop so I pretended to be older.”

Of course, none of this invalidates each other. We will see if Bambaataa ever responds to these allegations again in the future. Last time we spoke on his net worth, it was at around $500K, and we will see if these legal situations changes that.

Melbourne’s been bubbling, but few artists have carved out their lane with as much precision as Kush K. Coming off the momentum of The Revelations and a string of high-output studio sessions, the rapper-sound engineer-label head has returned with a heater that doubles as both war cry and victory lap. 

The hook alone feels like a mission statement. The track is tight, polished, and urgent — loaded with diamond-cut punchlines and an energy that sounds born in a warehouse and bred for main stages. Kush K’s flow is relentless but locked-in, switching between cocky precision and visceral growls that nod to both UK drill and modern trap.

The video is straight velocity. Shot across Melbourne’s inner-city streets and backlit by high-performance engines, the visuals match the track’s intensity frame-for-frame. Kush K commands the screen with confidence, showing us what self-made really looks like when you’ve built it from the studio floor up.

This is the latest solo release since his February 2025 collab “I Know” with JVS — a more introspective cut that balanced out Kush K’s heavy-hitting catalog. But where “I Know” explored doubt and determination, “Winning” is pure manifestation. It’s Kush K at full throttle, rapping like someone who’s already lived through the low points and built a label (Type Shit Records) and studio (HotBox Studio) in response.

This allegation emerged via hotel manager Frédéric Zemmour taking the stand on Thursday (May 22) in Manhattan federal court. He is the general manager of the L’Ermitage Beverly Hills, and answered questions about how Sean Combs booked rooms at the location over the years.

Zemmour explained that their booking system allows for employees to make notes about guests, reservations, and hotel rooms. He claimed Combs appears in the system as far back as 2006.

The manager alleged that, in one instance, the executive’s bill totaled $2K and included a $500 charge for Diddy’s alleged use of oil and candle wax. Allegedly, he spilled wax all over the carpet. This was allegedly a frequent complaint, which even allegedly resulted in a permanent note in their system. “ALWAYS spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil, place the room out of order upon departure for deep cleaning,” one of the notes allegedly reads.

Other alleged notes about Combs’ hotel stays include “Pls monitor outside his rm / down the hall to spray air freshener” and “Please authorize an extra $1,000 when guest stays with us to cover any room damages.”

Diddy’s defense team reportedly did not cross examine Frédéric Zemmour after his witness testimony. Other witnesses the trial heard from on Thursday include Kid Cudi and one of Combs’ alleged former assistants.

As for what’s next, the trial’s second week is about to wrap up today (Friday, May 23). We will see what else both sides discuss before they break for the weekend.

Easily, the most controversial and notable part of this week’s developments was Kid Cudi’s witness testimony against Diddy. The Cleveland artist recalled the mogul allegedly breaking into his house and setting his car on fire. This was allegedly due to them both dating Cassie, but they allegedly hashed those issues out eventually.

Photos of the fire-damaged vehicle have been released to the public. One person who was quick to weigh in was 50 Cent. He’s been trolling Diddy relentlessly for months, and his online antics have only picked up since the trial began.

He shared a series of photos of Kid Cudi’s charred vehicle on Instagram last night, poking fun at the ordeal. “Molotov Diddy was doing old school sh*t out here,” he alleged. “Old killer Rat Jimmy threw one them at us. LOL @50centaction.”

This is far from the first time 50 Cent has mocked the Diddy trial, however. Following Kid Cudi’s testimony, he also made fun of the allegation that the Bad Boy founder broke into the “Day ‘n’ Nite” performer’s home and traumatized his dog. “What the f*ck Diddy did to kid cudi Dog OVER the girl Man ? LOL @50centaction @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi,” he asked on Instagram alongside a photo of himself smiling at his phone.

He also clowned Kid Cudi ahead of his testimony, sharing a photo of the artist in the intricate bridal gown he rocked for the 2021 CFDA Awards on Instagram. “Kid Cudi gonna testify like, I’m on your a** now Diddy DON’T ACT LIKE YA DIDN’T DO IT NOW! YA DID IT! LOL @50centaction @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi,” he captioned the post.

First off, the Brooklyn rapper played alleged audio of Remy’s supposed side piece, Eazy The Block Captain, threatening to blackmail her with receipts of her cheating. Then, he played audio of her allegedly saying she wouldn’t be talking to Eazy anymore if it wasn’t for this alleged blackmail situation. This is all still pretty vague and unclear, so maybe we’re missing something here. At the end of the day, it seems like both these former lovers have a lot of individual drama to address and face accountability for.

What’s more is that Pap’s new girlfriend Claressa Shields is not here for any of the lies or drama. She recently took to Twitter to accuse the Bronx femcee of lying to the public about this whole situation. Some fans have been very supportive, whereas others think Shields is in a tough spot amid this decades-long relationship.

“I heard so many lies today it was crazy,” Claressa Shields said of Remy Ma and Papoose. “One, if my breakfast club interview triggered her that much… just wait til I address the lies she told today. 2. Papoose is not my manager… I don’t let nothing or nobody play with my money. Since I’ve been with Pap he has created opportunities for me to get bags! So all that talk was cap.”

“3. Don’t try and diminish this man character,” she continued. “Pap is a helpful man that’s just how he is. It take a lot to piss him off. He’s very loyal and solid. Word is bond to him. 4. We been living our best life since mid-August last year. I really enjoyed out private relationship for reasons like this. All these people judging a situation they know nothing about. Pap was separated way before I came along.”

“5. HONDA AIRBNBS, HOTELS!!!!! Man stoppppp! It’s crazy how everybody broke, I’m sorry to tell you but I fight too good to be broke. All my cars are 2022s and 20223s, Pap drive a Benz! And got his own place. Everyone know my houses I got. No need to speak lies when the truth will set you free.”

“Good night,” Shields concluded her rant. “Now if I wake up tomorrow to some more bulls**t….. it’s gonna be a problem.”

At the end of the day, both cheating rumors against this couple haven’t been confirmed by either party. So things still remain speculative so far, even if they’re trying to make proof eventually lead the other to admit their alleged infidelity.

He didn’t waste any time, firing back yesterday with some screenshots on Instagram, confirming that he has filed for divorce. “The only reason I haven’t filed previously Is for the sake of my daughter,” Papoose declared. “But when a person wants to be bitter, & clout chase. It turns into a circus. Which can lead to an embarrassment for my child.”

He also accused Remy of lying during her livestream, and trying to get back with him as recently as this week. In response, she accused Pap of living off of Shields, insisting that he makes a living managing her. She also alleged that he’s hiding a son due to the son’s sexuality.

Once again, he hit back, this time going after her music. “I wrote 90 percent of the rhymes that came out of her mouth,” he alleged, “I never asked for a penny. I never asked for credit. She’s my wife.”

Pap then accused Remy of cheating on him with a woman she met in prison, alleging that he caught them in bed together. The back and forth didn’t stop there, however. After various other insults and accusations, Remy accused Pap of pawning some of her belongings, including a Cartier bracelet and a Cuban link.

This is when Eazy The Block Captain, her current boyfriend, got involved. He accused Pap of being “obsessed” with him. This prompted a fiery response.

“I beat the dog sh*t out of you,” Papoose wrote. “& stomped you out.” He also labeled Eazy a “bum who never had jewelry in his life” and called Remy his “sugar mama.”

Shields proceeded to jump in once again. “If my breakfast club interview triggered her that much… just wait til I address the lies she told today,” she warned.

Its signature mix of crisp white leather and speckled grey details set a new tone for basketball footwear, blending on-court performance with off-court style. This isn’t the first time the White Cement has returned, but every drop feels like an event.

Fans of the silhouette know this version is special. It brings back the Nike Air branding on the heel, a true nod to the original design that purists always look for. With clean contrast and a timeless look, the colorway never seems to lose relevance.

The Jordan 4 has played a major role in sneaker culture since the late 80s. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, it was one of the first sneakers to showcase visible Air cushioning and mesh panels. Jordan wore it during some unforgettable performances, cementing its place in history.

The photos provided show every angle of the classic build. From the speckled wings and heel tabs to the OG tongue tag, this is a faithful recreation. Whether you’re a longtime collector or new to the game, tomorrow’s drop is one to circle on the calendar.

This pair features a premium white leather upper with mesh netting on the side panels and tongue. Black accents hit the eyelets, midsole, and inner lining for contrast. Cement Grey overlays come speckled, covering the heel tab, wings, and midsole.

The classic “Nike Air” branding returns on the back heel, staying true to the OG 1989 design. Red hits on the tongue logo add a slight pop. The visible Air unit in the heel provides responsive cushioning, while the rubber outsole keeps traction locked in.

Overall, the design balances vintage heritage with on-court readiness.

This is a project that is looked back on fondly by hip-hop fans and it marks a critical shift in Eminem’s path to superstardom. Well, it is celebrating its 25th anniversary and to celebrate, we have a new deluxe edition.

Overall, this new version of the album adds two songs. These are live performances of “The Real Slim Shady” and “The Way I Am.” Both of these live versions are from the 2000 VMAs.

Eminem is also selling special merch packages and vinyl records of this new edition, over on his website. Em fans are passionate, and there is no denying that they are going to show out for this special anniversary. Your classic albums only turn 25 once, so it makes sense that Em would try and celebrate this milestone in a cool way.

Only time will tell when Em decides to drop another album. Although we’re sure he is taking some time off following the release of The Death Of Slim Shady.

On Friday, the artist delivered his first single in four years, “JAN. 31st (my truth).” It is a beautiful song that speaks to everything he has endured as of late. Fans of the artist will certainly be happy to hear him making music again.

Via Press Release:

“‘Jan. 31st (My Truth)’ delivers the emotional authenticity fans have loved and craved—a compelling, vulnerable track that stays true to his formula of speaking straight from the heart. The lyrics and hook stand as powerful testimony to his first thoughts and feelings as a free man after time served towards his sentence, while the carefully chosen artwork showcases what matters most: his children, his world. Since returning, Lucci has maintained laser focus, diving headfirst back into fatherhood while pouring himself into his art and community, committed to personal growth daily. His trademark singing-rapping fusion remains intact, but this first single since his release unveils a new chapter where vulnerability reigns supreme—no matter how uncomfortable the truth.”

There is a lot to love about this new song, and we hope to hear more from Lucci in the not-so-distant future.
