Tupac Shakur’s estate is keeping up with his murder trial right now, but that doesn’t mean other matters aren’t still at hand. Most recently, according to an exclusive AllHipHop report from Grouchy Greg Watkins, they responded to Daz Dillinger and his lawsuit claiming unpaid royalties from his All Eyez On Me work, including other material.

For those unaware, Dillinger claimed he did not receive proper compensation for collaborations like “Ambitionz Az A Ridah,” “I Ain’t Mad At Cha,” “Skandalouz,” and more. He wants the estate to show how much all these tracks have earned and how much they owe him, pointing to how he received a $91K payout check from Amaru Entertainment in October of 2024.

Daz claimed he couldn’t verify if that amount was sufficient due to missing proper paperwork. Amaru admitted they paid him without detailed royalty statements. But they also claimed the rapper’s old Death Row deals did not entitle him to that check in the first place.

“[Daz] knew that he was not entitled to the payments alleged herein when he demanded and accepted them,” Amaru reportedly argued in court documents. “Asking [Daz] to return that money would be futile. [Daz] now owes some or all of that money to Amaru.”

Amaru claims Daz Dillinger agreed to Death Row handling his pay for ‘Pac’s music. The estate also claimed he kept one master from the late rapper, walls of his handwritten lyrics, and at least 40 studio reels of performances. Amaru claims they own all of this, and that Dillinger’s subsequent sale of some of these items represents a loss of over one million dollars.

As such, the estate reportedly wants a jury trial to determine who owns these elements and who still owes some cash. We will see where the court lands.

Tupac and Daz Dillinger’s other collaborations include tracks like “Got My Mind Made Up” and “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted.” This is the latest example of ‘Pac’s estate dealing with matters like these over the last three decades.

With Tupac’s murder trial underway, there are a lot of updates about the legend. We’ll see if this finds a resolution or if things will only get more complicated from here.

Bia and Cardi B’s issues won’t be dying down anytime soon. Although their feud simmered down over the past few months, things got reignited last night after BIA offered an apology to Doja Cat for shading her in the past. “I genuinely apologize for anything I ever said that was shady,” she wrote, expressing gratitude for the love Doja has shown her music and praising the “Woman” singer’s catalog.

Ultimately, the commentary opened the floodgates surrounding Bia’s issues with Cardi B. When one fan brought up how horrible her diss track was toward the Bronx rapper, which is when she doubled down on the content in the song. “Ok then Talk about how it was ALL true,” she wrote. Another fan gave her props on the maturity and then said that she “repeated the same mistake again years later,” Bia responded, “I didn’t repeat SH*T. This ain’t that. whatever tf I said about that other b*tch. I STILL STAND ON & never taking it back. Thankgyaaaa.”

Cardi B Claps Back At Bia

Evidently, it didn’t take long for Cardi B to catch wind of the comments. She jumped on X Spaces, where she addressed Bia’s comments. First, she stated that she never cheated on Offset while providing some insight into why they split up. Then, she claimed there was another diss track in the cut outside of “Pretty & Petty.” 

However, Cardi ultimately explained that she wasn’t entirely concerned about some of the things Bia said until children were mentioned. That’s when the gloves came off. “Bitch, once you mention my mothaf*cking kids, bitch, I was like, I’m gonna make this b*tch mothaf*cking regret it,” Cardi said.

Check out Cardi B’s comments above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.

Keefe D Is Not Scared Of Potential Life Sentence In Tupac Murder Trial https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/1005878-keefe-d-not-scared-life-sentence-tupac-murder-trial Fri, 14 Aug 2026 14:04:54 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=1005878 The trial of Duane "Keefe D" Davis for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur began this week with jury selection.

The post Keefe D Is Not Scared Of Potential Life Sentence In Tupac Murder Trial appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Duane “Keefe D” Davis has spent some time in prison before, which means he’s not as nervous about a potential life sentence in the Tupac Shakur murder trial. TMZ reportedly spoke to alleged sources close to the suspect about his state of mind and his thoughts on a possible conviction.

According to the outlet, Keefe D is doing “pretty good” behind bars amid the Tupac trial’s inception in Las Vegas. The court opened with the jury selection process on Monday (August 10) following Davis’ not guilty plea.

Per the alleged sources, he’s not nervous about possibly going back to prison if he faces a conviction, but he doesn’t want to live out the rest of his life there. Reportedly, Keefe D recognizes he’s an older man at 64 who won’t have the same experiences he had when he was younger. “Prison is a dangerous place and horrible things happen there, especially when you’re older,” one source reportedly added.

Another reported factor is how his infamy as ‘Pac’s alleged killer might affect his day-to-day behind bars, facing scrutiny from other inmates. Reportedly, Davis’ family and loved ones believe his tendency of “exaggerating” and “bulls**ting” is what landed him in jail.

TMZ‘s sources reportedly believe the prosecution’s case is weak and should receive a dismissal with an apology, so they think Keefe D has a chance at freedom. Prosecutors claim he plotted the Vegas murder 30 years ago and produced the weapon another individual used to shoot and kill Shakur.

Keefe D Evidence In Tupac Case

This is the latest update in a very complex legal matter. Elsewhere, Keefe D’s memoir will be evidence in the Tupac trial, which is something his defense team fought against. Prior to his 2023 arrest, he had spoken about his alleged role in the murder via books, police interviews, and other public statements. Defense lawyers argue this is fabricated exaggeration, not hard proof.

Keefe D had also accused someone else of Tupac’s murder, namely Reggie Wright Jr. The former Death Row Records security chief denied these allegations, claiming he was not as close with Davis as his accusations suggest. In any case, it seems like Keefe D is ready to face trial.

Ray J and Orlando Brown are two vibrant personalities on the Internet who rarely shy away from controversy… Or from a challenge. The two will engage in a boxing match tomorrow night (Saturday, August 15) as part of the undercard for the Claressa Shields and Kaye Scott match in Atlanta. Fans are looking forward to the face-off, whether for potential viral moments or a bounce-back for either celebrity.

As caught by TMZ on Twitter, The Zeus Network will stream the undercard for Shields/Scott, including Ray and Orlando. Other match-ups include Chrisean Rock’s sister Tesehki versus Big Lex and Xavier versus Noah (Zeus security). Reportedly, coverage of these fights begins at 4PM EST on Zeus before moving to DAZN for the main event. It’s unclear exactly when the Orlando and Ray fight will take place at press time.

Ray J and Orlando Brown already confronted each other before the match-up, following up on months of beef and tension. Orlando had slapped Ray with a stack of cash, and they also hurled NSFW insults at each other. They both seem ready for the ring, but we’ll see how the actual fight pans out.

Orlando Brown & Ray J Match

Previously, Orlando Brown’s claims about Ray J included his accusation that Ray let Orlando smoke weed at his house when Brown was 13. It was a bizarre allegation that seemed to tie into Ray’s comments about the Diddy trial.

Elsewhere, Ray J is hoping for a bounce-back, as he lost his previous boxing match to Supa Hot Fire via knockout. However, this isn’t just about coming back after defeat. Ray suffered a hospitalization after the match due to a possible concussion. He spoke about suffering heart problems which the fight exacerbated, and called out Adin Ross and event organizers for not reaching out.

We’ll see if this is a win for the singer. On the other hand, Orlando Brown is still dropping odd comments and making heads turn online as a result. We’re sure this boxing match will hold similarly wild moments, whether during the match, before, or after it. It should be an even matchup, but health concerns are also at the top of fans’ minds.
