The mother of NLE Choppa’s child took a brutal jab at him on social media, Tuesday, joking that he’s been spending more time dissing NBA YoungBoy than seeing his family. Choppa has taken several shots at YoungBoy on multiple tracks in recent months.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the woman, Marissa Da’Nae, wrote: “He done dissed this man more than he done called his child in the past two months… Then I could see if you was getting a response.” In more posts, she added: “I’ll never be nice no more. Idgaf. B*tch called me malicious and evil and I was never that to him or anybody around him. So now I have walked thru them doors.”

NLE Choppa & NBA YoungBoy Beef

NLE Choppa first dissed NBA YoungBoy on his track, “KO,” back in October. Speaking with Rolling Stone at the time, he explained that he felt compelled to go after the popular rapper. “And my thing was I’ve heard interviews from him that he’s vocalized, that he’s conscious of what he’s doing, and I have no problems with him, but that’s the part where my assignment, that’s the part of my duty, that’s what I’m on the contract of, because I’m conscious of it. I know you can’t continue to consciously choose a way that’s indifferent to the most highs,” he said.

He took aim at YoungBoy most recently on the track, “Hello Revenge.” “Rap went dead, I’ma bring it back alive/ N***a, I’m the truth, but the devil is a lie/ YB Louis V belt to his spine/ Anybody with him better get ’em ‘fore he cross the line, n***a,” he raps.

YoungBoy has mostly avoided responding to Choppa, but on his song, “Zero IQ Freestyle,” he did rap: “Respond to him,’ he ain’t never ran nothing down, b*tch, I said, ‘No.”

Kay Flock Sentenced To Three Decades In Prison https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/965488-kay-flock-sentenced-hip-hop-news Tue, 16 Dec 2025 21:55:16 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=965488 In March of this year, New York rapper Kay Flock was convicted of racketeering and attempted murder charges.

In March of this year, Kay Flock was found guilty of racketeering conspiracy, attempted murder, and assault with a deadly weapon in aid of racketeering, in addition to a firearm discharge offense. Today (December 16), he finally learned his fate. The 22-year-old was sentenced to 30 years in prison and five years of supervised release, per Complex Music.

“Kevin Perez used violence and fame to fuel fear and intimidation across the Bronx,” U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said of the sentence. “Perez and his gang members carried out a string of shootings that struck both rival gang members and innocent bystanders. Perez also used his platform as a prominent rapper to celebrate his violence: threatening his rivals, bragging about his shootings, and taunting his victims. His brazen actions unleashed a series of back-and-forth retaliatory shootings that killed and injured far too many people in the Bronx. Thanks to the hard work of the women and men of this Office and our law enforcement partners, today’s sentence brings New Yorkers what they want: violent, gun-toting gang leaders off our streets.”

Amid news of his verdict earlier this year, Kay Flock issued a statement. In it, he thanked those who have supported him throughout his legal woes.

“I want to give thanks to everybody who supported me and kept me in their prayers,” the statement began. “I want to thank everyone who was involved in my trial. Especially the judge, who made sure I was treated with respect throughout the process. I have to thank my lawyer Michael Ashley, no cap, for not giving up on me and putting up a hell of a fight. Even though we still fighting, because it ain’t over until Allah say it’s over. I want to thank every one of my fans and supporters. I love y’all. Everything to the chin, nothing to the heart. […] And I pray everyone out there is at peace and feels positive too.”

At the time of writing, neither Kay Flock nor his team has publicly responded to his prison sentence.

Diddy Set To Appear On Camera For Sexual Assault Lawsuit Deposition https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/965460-diddys-deposition-sexual-assault-lawsuit-videotaped-hip-hop-news Tue, 16 Dec 2025 21:17:34 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=965460 Diddy is currently residing behind bars after being found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution.

The post Diddy Set To Appear On Camera For Sexual Assault Lawsuit Deposition appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Diddy will have to participate in a videotaped deposition from inside the prison where he’s been living as part of April Lampros’ civil lawsuit against him, according to new documents obtained by AllHipHop. Lampros is suing him with allegations of sexual assault, coercion, and abuse of power. The deposition is currently scheduled for January 26.

Lampros has accused Diddy of allegedly sexually assaulting her multiple times in the 1990s. She also claims he threatened her with retaliation if she ever spoke out about the incidents.

The date of the deposition is still tentative, as prison officials still must approve. Lawyers, court reporters, and videographers will have to get security clearances beforehand as well. In addition to Lampros’ own allegations, the lawyers also want to bring up the transfer of Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes’ ownership interest in 1996. Diddy could face sanctions if he refuses to answer any of the questions.

Diddy’s Prison Sentence

Diddy is currently residing at Fort Dix in New Jersey, serving a prison sentence of four years and two months. He was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in his high-profile criminal trial, earlier this year. At the facility, he’s been participating in the Bureau of Prisons’ Residential Drug Abuse Program. The move could help him reduce his sentence.

In other news, Netflix recently put out a new documentary about Diddy titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The series, executive-produced by 50 Cent, examines numerous allegations about the disgraced music mogul.

In a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter, Diddy’s team labeled it a “hit piece” before its release. “Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is a shameful hit piece,” they wrote. “Today’s GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release. As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.”

]]>
Netflix’s new 50 Cent-produced docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, continues to elicit big reactions from viewers. The doc features interviews with various former members of Diddy’s inner circle, along with some of his alleged victims. It goes over his early career, outlines the damning allegations he’s faced in recent years, and more. While many are glad to see all of this come to light, others have pointed the finger back at 50 and called him out for trying to take down a peer.

This includes Dr. Umar Johnson, who shared his thoughts on the doc during a recent stream. According to him, his problem with it is that it’s another instance of a Black person exposing another Black person.

“I have no problem with Black people holding Black people accountable,” he said, as captured by Live Bitez. “I’m having a problem with Black people needing to expose Black people […] but you never expose white people who do things to Black people.”

“It is an act of self-hatred disguised as community service,” he added.

Why Did 50 Cent Make A Diddy Docuseries?

At the time of writing, 50 Cent has not publicly responded to Dr. Umar’s theory. During an interview with GQ published earlier this month, however, he was asked what compelled him to make his Diddy docuseries.

“To be honest, just the culture itself,” he said. “If someone’s not saying something, then you would assume that everybody in hip-hop is okay with what’s going on because [other rappers] will say, ‘I ain’t going to say nothing. I’m going to mind my business,’ because of a position that [Diddy] held in culture for so long, you understand? So [that] would leave me. Without me saying that I will do it, there’s nobody there.”

A spokesperson for Diddy has since labeled the docuseries a “shameless hit piece” by “a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta.”

50 Cent joked that he intends to buy the studio where Maino and Jim Jones record their podcast, Let’s Rap About It. Sharing a picture of himself looking over the Manhattan skyline, he wrote on Instagram: “I didn’t have this on my list of things to do, but if you insist I’ll make time. I’m working on buying the space where you film, and 50 percent of your podcast you know I don’t [cap emoji].”

Fans have been having plenty of laughs in the comments section of 50’s post. “Dayuuum… folks need to understand chess is not checkers. If your money ain’t long, just fall back,” one user wrote. Another added: “If 50 pull this off.. I’m tagging them 50 days & 50 nights straight until they block me.”

50 Cent & Jim Jones Beef

50 Cent and Jim Jones have been at odds for months, but the feud recently resurfaced after the release of Netflix’s new documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. Discussing the project during an episode of Let’s Rap About It, Jones criticized 50 for serving as an executive producer. “You don’t want nobody doing a documentary trying to make your whole character look weak. That’s petty behavior … It’s really not a documentary; it’s more like a mockumentary,” he said.

50 fired back on Instagram, writing: “I understand Diddy was your hero, stay down with him. I don’t care if you let him play with ya butt, then act like you don’t remember.”

In another post, 50 expanded his criticism to Maino, Fabolous, and Dave East. “These guys are squatters, they owe 250,000k for the space they are filming their podcast. These bums are trying to win best dressed award and can’t pay their bills,” he wrote.

Maino shot back with an edited picture of 50 with long hair. “Meet Killer Curly Ladies & Gentlemen…He Helped Me Get My Record Deal Before So Imma Always Be Grateful, So It’s Gone Hurt Me To Drag This N***a To Hell!” he wrote. “F*ck Is The Problem Curtis? What Has Your G Unit G- String In a Bunch N***a? Is It The Bitch Or The Diabetes? But Let’s Rap About It!!!”

Recently, Funk Flex temporarily took over Hot 97’s morning slot after the station canceled Ebro In The Morning. Unfortunately, however, things got off to a rocky start. On his first day, he discussed Kimora Lee Simmons’ latest spat with her ex, Russell. He called the Baby Phat founder a “bird” and accused her of sleeping with “Baby.” This resulted in some confusion, as many listeners assumed he was referring to DaBaby, as seen in a post by Glock Topickz on Twitter/X. Eventually, he ended up clarifying that he meant Birdman, who also goes by Baby.

DaBaby was quick to address the ordeal, making it clear that he never had a sexual relationship with Kimora. “That sh*t is 1000% false. That sh*t aint true,” he declared in a video. “I don’t know what the hell you got going on or what made you feel comfortable enough throwing my name out there so loosely like that. I’m looking forward to you cleaning that up Flex.”

Kimora took a similar approach, confirming in an Instagram comment that she and DaBaby have never even met.

“Lol what?!,” she began. “You’re being sassy AF Flex- Respectfully, I’ve never met DaBaby in my life. but YOU on the other hand … [side eye emoji].”

Funk Flex won’t be filling the morning slot for long, despite rumors. This week, he announced that it was just a one-time thing, though he did end up filling in again today.

“I’m only doing one day! Easy!” he explained. “So we are clear! I’m only covering tomorrow only! (One day) @oldmanebro @rosenbergradio @laurastylez you guys have been so amazing in the hardest city in the world! Ebro u was my boss for years… your passion for the music and dedication to the radio game is unmatched! I love you and I’m going to miss u! We been to war together when no one would stand with us!

Earlier this year, it was reported that NBA YoungBoy was thrown into solitary confinement for allegedly assaulting another inmate behind bars. Apparently, the inmate shouted “OTF” at the Louisiana rapper. Birdman’s brother Terrance “Gangsta” Williams shared the news on Instagram Live, also claiming that the alleged altercation would not have an effect on YB’s release date.

Just a few days later, YB was finally a free man. He hasn’t wasted any time since his release either, immediately getting to work with new music and a tour. Yesterday (December 15), he even dropped a new song called “Top Cobain.” In it, he seemingly references his aforementioned alleged run-in with a fellow inmate.

“If you see them with me, they gettin’ money / In your sleeves, the hundred-round-K punchin’ / Opp packed out on the yard, get his lung punctured,” he raps.

NBA YoungBoy and Lil Durk have been feuding for several years at this point, though in 2023, the former admitted that their beef isn’t all that serious.

His revelation came after Gillie Da Kid expressed interest in helping them squash the beef on his Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. “If both of them could hit the stage in the same night, it could show the young’uns that that sh*t ain’t that serious,” Gillie said at the time. “The beef ain’t that serious. None of this drama is that serious.”

In response, YB accepted the offer, but reminded Gillie that he was still on house arrest. “Get them to let me out this house and I hit that stage for ya. How you want me to come? Every chain on or just one chain?” he asked. In his caption, he wrote, “It ain’t what you think OG all this sh*t entertainment.”

NBA YoungBoy even took the opportunity to claim that he and Durk were on speaking terms and chatted frequently about music. Durk later accused him of refusing to send over his correct home address, which YB chalked up to his legal woes.

Chrisean Rock is one celeb who’s been through quite a bit in recent months. In November, for example, her ex Blueface finally got out of prison. She reunited with the “Thotiana” rapper during a livestream shortly after, and their co-parenting relationship appeared to be as strong as ever. Unfortunately, that didn’t last long, as Chrisean accused him of assault just days later.

This isn’t the only obstacle the Baddies star has had to overcome recently, however. Over the weekend, she was also jumped by at least two women in Compton. Footage of the incident surfaced online almost immediately, prompting Blueface to weigh in.

He accused her of inciting the incident by playing with Los Angeles gang culture, which she denies. According to her, she even walked away with her chains.

“I went to Compton for the kids no security,” she clarified. “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.”

Despite all the drama, Chrisean recently decided to try something new and team up with Ryan Garcia for a Kick stream. Sadly, that took a turn for the worse, too. At one point in the stream, they sparred, which was all fun and games until someone got hurt.

The pro boxer accidentally hit Chrisean in the face, leaving her stunned. He quickly apologized, making it clear that it was a total accident. “Nah, I didn’t mean to hit you,” he said, as seen in a clip shared by The Neighborhood Talk. “Oh my God, I’m sorry!” Luckily, it looks like she wasn’t seriously hurt and was able to laugh off the accidental jab.

The post Tory Lanez’s Lawyer Appeals Sanctions For Deposition In Megan Thee Stallion’s Defamation Case appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Tory Lanez’s attorney, Crystal Morgan, has filed an appeal to challenge $5,000 in sanctions she is facing for allegedly blocking the rapper’s deposition in Megan Thee Stallion’s recent defamation case against Milagro Gramz. Morgan filed the Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on Monday, according to AllHipHop.

The drama stems from Lanez’s alleged refusal to answer questions during the court-ordered deposition for Megan’s defamation lawsuit. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid previously held Lanez in contempt for refusing to cooperate. She fined Lanez $20,000 and Morgan another $5,000.

Court documents allege that Lanez hurled “multiple expletives” at Megan’s legal team during the entire ordeal. When they warned him about financial penalties for his antics, he waved them off and cited his net worth.

Megan Thee Stallion Defamation Lawsuit

Megan Thee Stallion sued Milagro Gramz, accusing her of allegedly spreading numerous falsehoods about her in the wake of the 2020 Tory Lanez shooting, as well as reposting deepfake pornographic videos of her. While the jury in the trial initially found the blogger liable for defamation, Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga later threw out the count. She ruled that Milagro should have been viewed as a media defendant, and the rapper’s lawyers never properly informed her of the lawsuit.

She also confirmed that Megan will still get $59,000 for the counts of intentional infliction of emotional distress and promotion of an altered sexual depiction.

Following the ruling, Megan’s lawyer, Mari Henderson, wrote that they were happy with the result in a public statement. “We’re thankful for the jury’s commitment to reinforcing the importance of truth, accountability and responsible commentary on social media,” the statement read. “Not only is Milagro being held accountable for paying Megan compensatory and punitive damages, but Florida’s fee-shifting legal provision will require her to cover [the] costs of Megan’s legal bills on the deepfake claim. This verdict sends a clear message that spreading dangerous misinformation carries significant consequences.”

Tory Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after a jury found him guilty of first-degree assault with a firearm, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, and having a concealed firearm in a vehicle. The charges stemmed from a 2020 shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion.
