Diddy’s troubles don’t seem to be ending any time soon. According to TMZ, L.A. County D.A.’s spokesperson, Venusse Dunn, said that they are currently reviewing new claims of sexual battery based on a police report filed by publicist Jonathan Hay in September 2025. 

Hay alleges that he encountered Diddy while working with CJ Wallace, Biggie Smalls’s son, on a remix project. However, he accused the disgraced mogul of assaulting him on two occasions, once in 2020 and again in 2021. In September 2020, he said that he was left alone with Diddy, who he claims masturbated into a shirt that Biggie once owned and told him to “come finish him off.” Diddy allegedly threw the shirt at Hay afterward.

Separately, Hay accused Diddy of forcing his penis into his mouth in March 2021 after labeling him a “snitch.” In this particular situation, Hay said that he was working with CJ on their project.

At this point, no charges against Diddy have been filed, but TMZ reports that the LAPD investigated the claims and presented the case to the D.A. If there’s enough evidence, then Diddy could potentially face new criminal charges.

The case was previously filed in Hay’s hometown in Florida. However, since the crimes were allegedly committed in L.A., the case was transferred.

Diddy’s Troubles Continue

Diddy is currently serving a 50-month sentence for violating the Mann Act following his highly publicized trial last year. The mogul was found guilty in a federal court of transporting people across state lines for sexual purposes. 

At this point, Diddy’s representatives have yet to comment on the possibility of fresh charges in L.A. We will keep you posted on any further updates on the matter.

Daphne Joy Asks “Does Size Really Matter?” Following Diddy Sex Tape Leak https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997093-daphne-joy-size-matter-instagram-diddy-sex-tape Tue, 02 Jun 2026 14:40:19 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997093 Daphne Joy has drawn some the anger of observers online after making light of her leaked sex tape, despite a recent statement condemning it.

The post Daphne Joy Asks “Does Size Really Matter?” Following Diddy Sex Tape Leak appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Over the weekend, a sex tape was leaked featuring Diddy, Daphne Joy, and Sly Diggler. This immediately became the biggest story of the day, even with Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic freestyle at the top of everyone’s mind.

On Monday, Joy put out a statement, alleging that the tape in question was filmed without consent. Furthermore, she said that she was being extorted and that the leaker demanded that she pay a lump sum to keep the video from being released.

After posting this statement, Joy quickly deleted it. This left many folks confused, with some wondering if Joy was asked to take the statement down for legal reasons. However, in the last 24 hours, Joy has been criticized for promoting her OnlyFans at an 85 percent discount. Furthermore, her latest Instagram post is raising some eyebrows.

As you will see below, Joy held a Q&A in which someone asked her, “Does size really matter?” Given the discourse surrounding Diddy in the leaked sex tape, the answering of this question feels especially intentional.

Daphne Joy Angers Social Media

Interestingly enough, Joy put her response behind an OnlyFans paywall. You have to subscribe to her page to get a full answer. Once again, this has led to widespread criticism. Some feel as though this is exploitative of the situation, especially when you consider yesterday’s heartfelt statement.

“wtf was the statement for if you just gonna keep moving like this??” one person wrote on Instagram. “Posting this after that statement is horrendous.”

Ultimately, these social media posts have left people feeling icky. Given the subject matter at hand, this should not be a surprise.

50 Cent has had it out for Diddy over the last few years, and with the latter’s recent legal troubles, Fif has been unrelenting on social media. That was especially true over the weekend as Diddy’s sex tape with Daphne Joy was leaked online. For those unfamiliar, Joy and 50 have a song together.

Upon the video’s release, people online immediately remarked about the size of Diddy’s manhood. Fif couldn’t resist getting involved in this conversation, as he clowned the music mogul.

“Free Diddy he has gone through enough being born with no Penis,” 50 Cent wrote.

Celina Powell saw 50 Cent’s post and decided to chime in with a burn of her own. Powell has claimed to have been with a plethora of famous artists over the years, 50 included. With that being said, she made the claim that Fif’s manhood is just as small as Diddy’s.

“Yours was no bigger my love,” Powell replied.

Celina Powell On 50 Cent

Celina Powell is someone with a bit of a dubious reputation, all things considered. She infamously lied about being pregnant with Offset’s child. Of course, she did so while Cardi B was pregnant herself. This led to lots of stress and widespread headlines about the couple’s relationship.

Powell understands how to get attention in today’s social media environment, and this situation is no different. The Diddy and Daphne Joy sex tape leak is one of the biggest stories in hip-hop right now.

The situation has been trending since Sunday morning, and it is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. As for 50 Cent, it remains to be seeen whether or not he cares to refute Powell’s claim.

Sauce Walka BM Claims He Destroyed Maybach Drake Gifted Her  https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997089-sauce-walka-bm-drake-maybach Tue, 02 Jun 2026 13:49:34 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997089 Sauce Walka and Kylie Lossen's feud continues.

The post Sauce Walka BM Claims He Destroyed Maybach Drake Gifted Her  appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Sauce Walka and his BM, Kiley Lossen, have been at odds for basically 48 hours, and somehow Drake’s involved. Although the ICEMAN rapper hasn’t actually chimed in publicly, Sauce Walka’s issues with him have been well documented, from the 10-year-old diss track “Wack 2 Wack” to recent podcast appearances. However, this time, the drama surrounds the mother of Sauce Walka’s child. The other day, Lossen shared audio of Sauce Walka allegedly threatening to shoot up Drake’s car. 

Sauce Walka has pushed back against claims that he’s jealous of Drake while providing screen recordings of text messages to prove his point. However, Kylie has shared more receipts that paint him as more than frustrated about her supposed relationship with Drake. 

In one point, she shared a photo of herself in front of a Maybach that Drake allegedly gifted her. “This maybach, the one HE BEAT UP BECAUSE DRAKE BOUGHT IT. HA PATHETIC,” she wrote.

Another alleged voice recording of Sauce Walka hears him going off as he threatens to embarrass Drake on the internet if he doesn’t keep his name out of his mouth. At this point, Drake himself hasn’t said or addressed anything regarding the matter, at least directly, but some fans have started pointing out how some lyrics from “JANICE STFU” might have been directed toward the Houston rapper.

Did Drake Throw Subs At Sauce Walka On ICEMAN?

Fans suspect that Drake’s bars on his latest #1 song, “JANICE STFU” might be directed at Sauce Walka, especially when he raps, “​​Trickin’ it off on her, payin’ her bill/That’s just how I do the sauce and the spill.” Considering that purchasing a Maybach for a woman is probably the highest level of tricking, it doesn’t seem too far off. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Rory & Mal Respond To Tasha K’s Report That Jay-Z Kicked Them Out Of The Roots Picnic https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997083-rory-mal-tasha-k-report-jay-z-roots-picnic Tue, 02 Jun 2026 13:20:43 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997083 Tasha K leveled an interesting report about Jay-Z and Rory & Mal, although, as it turns out, none of it was true.

The post Rory & Mal Respond To Tasha K’s Report That Jay-Z Kicked Them Out Of The Roots Picnic appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Rory & Mal have been Team Drake over the past couple of years. Years ago, when they were on the Joe Budden Podcast, they were always Team Jay-Z. Of course, a lot of this had to do with Mal’s family ties and the New York connection.

That said, on their Netflix podcast, the two ride hard for Drake. In the eyes of some, this runs counter to Jay-Z, who dissed the Canadian megastar during his Roots Picnic freestyle.

On Monday, Tasha K found herself stirring the pot, claiming that Hov kicked Rory & Mal out of his Roots Picnic section. Tasha K then went on to claim that the podcast duo is signed to Roc Nation.

“WHOA! Just got word that Jayz allegedly KICKED Rory & Mall out of his section at the Roots Picnic! He allegedly told them I thought you both were Drake FANS! Then proceeded to kick them out! This is bad news considering they are Roc Nation Talent! Signed to him,” Tasha K wrote. “Everything is allegedly! Even my name is allegedly!”

As you can imagine, Rory & Mal got wind of this report and offered up a response.

Rory & Mal Respond

As Mal hilariously explains, he was at home watching Game 7 between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Meanwhile, Rory mocked the notion that Jay would seek him out just to call him out for being a Drake fan.

Subsequently, Rory & Mal made it crystal clear that they are not signed to Roc Nation, nor have they ever been. They then said that they can understand why Tasha K is constantly dealing with lawsuits, given just how dubious her reporting is here.

So there you have it, Rory & Mal were not kicked out of the Roots Picnic. Whether or not Tasha K will respond to the refutation remains to be seen.

Daphne Joy Catches Heat For Promoting OnlyFans Following Diddy Sex Tape Leak https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997078-daphne-joy-onlyfans-diddy-sex-tape-leak Tue, 02 Jun 2026 12:59:41 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997078 Daphne Joy is being called out by DJ Vlad after promoting her OnlyFans in the midst of the Diddy sex tape scandal.

Daphne Joy is currently in the news following the leaked Diddy sex tape involving Joy and Sly Diggler. The tape leaked over the weekend and became a major talking point on social media, as fans were desperate to weigh in.

Since that time, Joy has confirmed that the woman on the tape is indeed her. However, she also alleged that the tape was filmed without her consent. She also says the leak was part of a larger extortion plot in which someone demanded her to pay money to stop the video from coming out.

In the aftermath of all of this, Joy is now facing some criticism. On X, DJ Vlad revealed that Joy is currently promoting her OnlyFans at an 85 percent discount. Some feel as though this is in poor taste, especially given the model’s recent statement on the matter.

For instance, Ben Baller responded to Vlad, saying, “This bih is so full of shit. For the 16+ years I’ve known her , her entire persona has been opportunity and marketing her sexuality to get ahead. She shouldn’t have even addressed it.”

As we mentioned previously, Joy posted and deleted a statement on Monday morning in relation to the sex tape leak. It was here where she alleged that the video was non-consensual. She also states that she was in love with Diddy at the time and was willing to do anything to satisfy him. However, she now realizes that the relationship was allegedly abusive and that she can never let herself be in that spot again.

At this time, Joy’s statement on the matter remains absent from her Instagram.

Jay-Z performed at the Roots Picnic over the weekend, and during his set, he delivered a freestyle in which he took shots at big-time artists like Drake. Throughout the freestyle, he aimed at others like Nicki Minaj, Dame Dash, Ye, and even Tory Lanez.

Given Jay’s history with Drake, there has been this prevailing notion that a rap beef is about to begin. The expectation is that Drake is going to level some kind of response. With rumors of a Scary Hours 4 release coming soon, it feels as though a response is certainly possible. However, there is no guarantee that this escalates further.

On the latest episode of Rory & Mal, Mal was able to offer some insight into Drake’s current psyche. In fact, Mal reveals Drake reached out to him following Jay-Z’s performance. However, instead of commenting on the bars, Drizzy had one thing in mind. “Yo, but what’s up with the hair?” Drake exclaimed.

Drake Reacts To Jay-Z

Jay-Z’s new hairstyle certainly grabbed some attention over the weekend. However, the real story should be the bars, and the fact that Jay appears ready for whatever response comes his way. Whether that be Drake, Nicki, or even Tory.

Elsewhere in the episode, Mal revealed that Jermaine Dupri called him to demand that he pick a side in the Drake and Jay situation. Of course, Mal has family ties to Jay, yet has chosen Drake every step of the way. Ten years ago, that would not have been the case. As it turns out, Dupri isn’t happy with Mal’s decision to go Team OVO. “Pick a side of the family,” Dupri allegedly said.

If Kendrick Lamar and Drake caused a rap civil war, then Jay-Z and Drake could create something way bigger. However, fans are simply going to have to be patient. Based on what Mal recently said, Drake appears to be in no rush to make a hasty decision.

Vince Staples is officially dropping his new album, Cry Baby, on Friday, and there is no denying that this could be an album of the year contender. Singles like “Blackberry Marmalade” and “White Flag” have been sensational in their own right. It’s clear that Staples has a specific vision for this project. That vision was solidified with the album’s third single, “Cotton.” Musically, the song incorporates steady guitar riffs that make the track impeccably catchy. At the same time, Vince Staples is hinting at some of America’s societal ills. However, there is also a hopeful nature about the track. His previous singles zeroed in on similar themes. Needless to say, we are intrigued to hear how the entire album sounds.

Release Date: June 1, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Cry Baby

Quotable Lyrics from Cotton

Where I come from, you can’t be soft
These young street punks might knock you off
When Jesus died upon that cross
He left us lost, singin’ the same old song

Serena Williams Returns To Tennis After 4 Years https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/997063-serena-williams-return-to-tennis Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:29:04 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=997063 She already holds 23 Grand Slam titles, and Serena Williams is now returning to tennis, with a match already lined up for next week.

What many fans suspected for months is now official: Serena Williams is stepping back onto a professional tennis court. Nearly four years after her last competitive match, the 23-time Grand Slam champion revealed she will return to action at next week’s HSBC Championships in London at Queen’s Club, accepting a wild-card entry into the doubles draw. The announcement arrives after years of uncertainty surrounding her future, particularly after Williams famously resisted using the word “retirement” when she stepped away from the sport in 2022, instead describing the next phase of her life as an evolution. The news immediately reignited excitement about what might come next.

“Queen’s Club feels like the perfect place to begin this next chapter,” Williams said, according to ESPN. “Grass has given me some of the most meaningful moments of my career, and I’m excited to be back competing on one of the sport’s most iconic stages.”

“Serena is one of the greatest athletes of all-time, with a legacy that extends far beyond the court,” WTA chair Valerie Camillo stated. “Her return is an expression of her passion for competition, and I cannot wait to see her face a new generation of top players.” She added, “Serena is not just a great champion. She’s a successful entrepreneur, a powerful advocate for the issues that matter — and one of the most iconic women in the world. We are thrilled to welcome her back to the WTA Tour at this hugely exciting moment for women’s tennis.”

Any return from Serena carries significance beyond wins and losses. She remains one of the most decorated athletes in tennis history, with 23 major singles titles, four Olympic gold medals, and more than 300 weeks at the top of the world rankings. Whether this comeback leads to a larger return or proves to be a one-off appearance, Williams has once again managed to command the attention of the sporting world, a reminder that some athletes never truly leave the conversation, no matter how long they’ve been away.

One can’t imagine how difficult recent years have been for Lashawnda Woodard. While watching her son Lil Durk become one of Chicago’s biggest Rap stars, she has also witnessed a staggering amount of loss. In 2021, Durk’s older brother, Dontay “DThang” Banks Jr., was shot and killed outside a suburban Chicago nightclub. It was a tragedy that devastated the family and added to the long list of loved ones the rapper has mourned publicly throughout his career.

Today, Woodard faces another painful chapter as her son remains behind bars awaiting trial on federal murder-for-hire charges. Durk has been locked up since October 2024 after prosecutors accused him of involvement in a plot connected to the 2022 killing of Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson, the cousin of rapper Quando Rondo. He has pleaded not guilty and continues fighting the charges. For a mother who has already buried one son, the uncertainty surrounding Lil Durk’s future adds another layer of heartbreak. During a recent sitdown with the Victim or Villain podcast, she gave updates on how she’s maintained throughout this ordeal.

Durk’s Mom Shares How She Found Out About His Charges

“It’s like I lost another child,” Woodard began. “It hurts. It hurts, like—I couldn’t believe it. And, I knew something [was wrong] because I kept calling his phone, and he don’t answer. And then I called his sisters, ‘Have you heard from him?’ They like, nah. I text him but…so, finally I got the call. And I’m like, ‘Oh my god.'” She added that it was Durk who rang her line to inform her about his legal situation.

At the time, the rapper was in Florida, and Woodard said that it took a “couple of days” for her Durk to call her. The host went on to call Durk one of the kindest celebrities she’s ever met. She also said that he loves his kids and cares about giving back to the community that raised him.

“Every time I talk to him, it’s never serious. So, he’s doing pretty good,” Woodard replied. When asked if Durk cut off his locs, his mother confirmed that “he did.” Check out the full episode of Lashawnda Woodard on the Victim or Villain podcast below.
