At the time, President Joe Biden was still in the running and many including Cardi were concerned about Biden’s health and age. However, after Vice President Harris spent some time on the campaign trail, she convinced the mother of three to reconsider.
“She changed my mind completely,” said Cardi at Kamala’s rally on Friday, “I did not have faith in any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I wanted to see next in this country.”

She also took time to inform the audience of Trump’s plan to swindle American voters and claimed he doesn’t believe women deserve rights. She highlighted women’s rights in her speech as she closely related her backstory to Harris.’
“Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog. I’ve been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something. Women have to work 10 times harder, perform 10 times better, and still, people question us, how we got to the top,” she declared.

She also insinuated that Trump is a bully, but Harris can beat him.
“I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one,” she stated.

She discussed the VP’s plan to end price gouging in grocery stores and mortgage down payment assistance. Most of her speech, however, was dedicated to women’s right to choose.

As BOSSIP reported in 2022, the Supreme Court overturned the Roe vs. Wade verdict, giving states the right to ban abortions. In his campaign, Trump stated he had no plan to help reinstate the verdict. However, Cardi B pointed out that he said he would be a “protector” of women.
To that, the femcee said;
“People like Donald Trump don’t believe women deserve rights, and when those rights are taken away, they are nowhere to be found,” said Cardi.”If [Trump’s] definition of protection is not the freedom of choice, if his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers, then I don’t want it,” she added.

The “I Like It” rapper also spoke about Trump’s “hustling ways.”
“Hustling women out of their rights to their body is nasty work. Hustling Americans out of their hard earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers and Trump Bible — by the way, the watches is $100,000, made in China, another country he discredited — is nasty too,” she said.

New Video Shows Jason Kelce Uses Homophobic F-Slur 3 Times in Rage
SLIDERTMZ.com
2:40 PM PT — TMZ has just obtained exclusive video … showing Jason clearly saying “Who is the f***** now?” 3 times to the person who first hurled the slur at him — this after Jason got shoved to the ground by the dude.
12:56 PM PT — More video has emerged from the incident involving Jason Kelce … with the new angle showing the person whose phone Kelce smashed demanding it back.
A scuffle ensues, broken up by people standing near Kelce … before he appears to yell back at the man “Who is the f***** now?” — seemingly referencing the comment that was screamed at him earlier.
We reached out to Kelce and ESPN about this new clip. Kelce’s team has not gotten back to us yet, and ESPN declined to comment.
Jason Kelce lost it at a person in Pennsylvania … grabbing someone’s phone and throwing it to the ground before storming off — right after someone in the crowd called Travis a gay slur.
The former NFL star-turned-commentator was in Happy Valley for the matchup between Ohio State and Penn State Saturday morning, and a crowd started following the star … cheering him on and asking for fist bumps at first.
It didn’t stay positive for long though … ’cause one troll decided to blast Jason’s bro Travis using a slur. You can listen to the video for yourself — it’s an aggressive attack on the tight end and his GF, Taylor Swift.
At this point, Kelce turns around and gets in a person’s face before grabbing the phone and chucking it to the ground. You can’t see the phone after he throws it down … but, the noise it makes when it hits the ground screams “shattered.”
Worth noting … no video has surfaced yet that shows the person who yells the slur — so, it’s unclear if Jason threw the correct person’s phone down. Another angle appeared to show the man yelling at Jason right before Kelce takes his phone and smashes it, but unclear if he also yelled the slur.
Jason usually has pretty genial interactions with fans … but, this one definitely set him off. We’ve reached out to Jason and ESPN, which is the company Jason works for, about the video — so far, no word back.

For Monáe, a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community who identifies as queer and non-binary, Kamala’s commitment to protecting the rights of marginalized groups makes her the evident option for the presidency, particularly in contrast to “racist, fascist” Donald Trump.
Monáe also voiced deep concerns over the drastic contrasts between Trump’s and Harris’s visions for the country, especially regarding reproductive rights and healthcare. She pointed to Trump’s Project 2025, which would devastate reproductive freedom, and cited the late Amber Thurman as a tragic testament of exactly that.
Monáe also didn’t hold back her criticism of Trump’s stance on LGBTQIA+ rights, denouncing his anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and harmful policies.

Diddy Grand Jury Subpoenas New Witness, Claims to Have Tapes, Kim Porter Diary
SLIDERTMZ.com
A man who claims he has sex tapes from Diddy‘s parties, and the real Kim Porter memoir says he’s been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury.
We got attorney Ariel Mitchell and her client, Courtney Burgess, Thursday outside the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan and they told us they’d just finished testifying for the grand jury.
Courtney says he was initially contacted by agents from the Department of Homeland Security … one of the federal agencies involved in the Diddy criminal case.
Mitchell says her client was subpoenaed and she claims they have evidence to corroborate some of Courtney’s allegations. He’s previously done interviews, claiming he has, or has seen, salacious videos of Diddy and his celebrity friends.
Plus, he says he has the unedited version of the diary allegedly written by Kim, Diddy’s late ex-girlfriend and mother of 4 of his kids.
TMZ.com
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the subpoena from federal prosecutors asked Burgess to turn over all records, including thumb drives, hard drives, electronic storage devices, or devices containing videos and/or other files depicting Diddy.
Sounds like it was a busy day in court for Ariel and Courtney … because she also told our photog they were going to a separate hearing to determine, what if any, evidence they needed to turn over to the feds.
Diddy’s already locked up on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution … and has pleaded not guilty.
TMZ.com
There was a purported Kim Porter memoir on Amazon earlier this year, but it was pulled after her kids denounced it and cast doubt on its authenticity … and, Courtney claims he has the real deal in his possession.
Ariel tells us they are going to work with Amazon to get this book published themselves … though they don’t have a timeline.

UPDATE: Young Thug Gets No Prison Time After Pleading Guilty In YSL RICO Case
NEWSBossip Video
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty
UPDATED — 6:36 PM 10/31/2024
Judge Paige Whitaker gave Young Thug five years in prison but commuted to time served. WSBTV reports that he will spend 15 years on probation but with the threat of 20 years in prison if he fails at probation. He is also essentially banned from the city of Atlanta unless he’s visiting for family weddings or funerals.
His sentencing also states that he must return to Atlanta to perform community service, in the form of anti-gang seminars for school-aged children.
Below this line, the original story begins.

After two years behind bars, Young Thug has accepted a plea deal in his YSL Rico case ending the longest trial in Fulton County history.

Young Thug can finally put his YSL RICO Case behind him after changing his plea to guilty.
TMZ reports that after failing to agree on a deal with the prosecution, Superior Court Judge Paige Reese Whitaker offered a non-negotiated plea deal.
Seemingly the trial was headed for a mistrial without prejudice leaving the state to try the case again. The non-negotiated plea deal avoids a retrial, however, while allowing Judge Whitaker to decide his punishment.
https://twitter.com/ThuggerDaily/status/1852086538277896512
As both sides returned to court for the non-negotiated plea deal the prosecution suggested Thug serve 45 years with 25 behind bars, a complete turnaround from offering the possibility of regaining his freedom today with 10 years probation. Before ending their argument on the 25-year sentence, the prosecution tried to have the mother of Donovan “Nut” Thomas” read a statement.
