Kanye West's Vultures Listening Experience In Haikou

Kanye West announced an upcoming solo project titled Bully during his China performance and debuted a new track.

Since the release of DONDA Kanye West has been a free agent and tried to shake the table with his album independently released DONDA 2. The album was only available on the STEM PLAYER device, which let fans tweak the track on a handheld device. As expected Ye abandoned the project and then later popped out with TY Dolla $ign announcing a trio of projects. So far we’ve received Vultures 1 and 2 and now it seems a change of plans might be on the agenda.

According to Variety, during Ye’s performance at Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou, China he announced a new project Bully.

“I got a new album coming out,” Yeezy told the audience. “The album’s called ‘Bully,’ and this song is called ‘Beauty and the Beast.’” The track features Ye singing “I still think about it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience / Don’t take this disrespect, I’m sitting here trying to redirect.”

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen Ye upload videos on the piano cooking up beats so the new project is expected. As one of the greatest producers of all time he has earned at least a listen from fans and detractors. You could claim he makes his best music when his back is against the wall. During his most trying times, his talent has never wavered and hopefully, this latest project continues that trend.

You can watch Kanye announce the project and premiere “Beauty & The Beast” below.

Boosie is once again being called to the carpet for his homophobic remarks, only this time it’s by his own daughter, Ivonia Hatch.

During a recent sit down with Yung Miami, the 41-year-old rapper shared some harsh words about his daughter, who identifies as a lesbian, in front of a packed crowd.

“She still can’t bring her situation to our house. My daughter is grown—Because I don’t want it to contaminate her others [siblings]” he said. “It’s a generation we’re raising, and I don’t want her to get too contaminated for her other six or seven sisters who look up to her. I want them to bring me grandchildren the right way.”

The lights are on but no is home, per usual. The clip began to circulate around social media on Sept 27 leading many to point out that his stance further perpetuates harmful stereotypes about the gay community. The loudest voice; however, was that of Hatch, who uploaded a 10-minute response to her father’s ignorance.

In the heartbreaking video, Hatch shared that she’s tried to remain silent and accept her father’s views but now feels it’s time for her to speak out.

“He always speaking on my sexuality, the whole world know that,” she said. “It’s been about two years now that I’ll be quiet. I wouldn’t say nothing, I just go with the flow. I did everything in my power to understand that this is my father, regardless. I’m going to accept him and love him for who he is.”

She continued,

“I just saw that he recently did an interview with Caresha and he used the word ‘contaminate’ and put my siblings in it at that. If you know me, I love and respect my siblings with everything in me. And they respect me and love me with everything in them.

She also took the opportunity to clear up her own coming out experience and how Boosie received the news of her sexuality.

“The incident that happened was in Jamaica…when you called me a gay b-word,” she revealed. “So if the world really knew the hurtful things you told me before and I forgave you, you wouldn’t even understand. At the end of the day, no matter how you feel, I am your blood. I am your daughter.”

The vulnerable cry for acceptance and respect was met with concern and also praise for her ability to stand up for herself.

Social media users also pointed out that Boosie leaned on his Southern religious background to condemn his daughter while but hasn’t used the same ideology to check his own transgressions.

Boosie has been very open about hiring sex workers for his underage sons and nephews in an effort to force them into manhood “the right way” and recently threw his support behind Diddy amid his pending sexual assault trial. The “Wipe Me Down” rapper also has eight children by six different women, went to trial for an alleged murder charge, and is currently facing up to 10 years in prison for unlawful firearm possession as a convicted felon.

A true upstanding citizen.

Yung Miami has once again found herself named in one of Diddy’s lawsuits, this time by an accuser who alleges the City Girl harassed her to abort the Bad Boy founder’s baby.

According to court documents obtained by XXL on Friday (Sept. 27), in addition to mentioning Miami, the latest Jane Doe to file a lawsuit against Diddy alleged that he drugged and sexually assaulted her monthly over the course of four years.

News broke of the story yesterday, but XXL confirmed that Yung Miami was the Diddy “associate” named in the suit who’s accused of repeatedly pressuring the alleged victim to have an abortion after she became pregnant with Diddy’s child in July 2022.

According to the lawsuit, the alleged incident took place at Diddy’s Los Angeles home, where the victim claims she was forced to ingest ketamine and other substances, leading to intermittent blackouts throughout the night. After learning she was pregnant, Jane Doe reportedly informed Diddy, at which point, the lawsuit states, “Caresha Brownlee… harassed Jane Doe by repeatedly calling her and telling her to have an abortion.”

An abortion did not happen as the the victim said she ultimately suffered a miscarriage.

Diddy And His Team Accused Of Pressuring Jane Doe To Meet With Him “Once A Month”

The Jane Doe claims she first met Diddy in 2020 while overseas, and from there, began feeling pressured to see him once a month between 2021 and 2022. The lawsuit describes how Diddy’s team would allegedly often arrive unannounced to take her to his homes in various cities, using “coercive and harassing language” to push her into meeting him.

Hit the flip for more.

Rodney Lil Rod Jones Accused Yung Miami Of Transporting “Pink Cocaine” For Diddy, Being A Sex Worker

This is not the first time Yung Miami has been linked to legal troubles involving Diddy.

After initially filing a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs in February, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones amended his lawsuit, adding 25 pages of new information and allegations about Diddy using “pink cocaine.”

Rod alleged that Diddy would obtain the combination of ecstasy and cocaine, also known as “tuci,” from his accused drug mule, Brendan Paul. However, Yung Miami was brought into the suit when she was accused of transporting the drug for her then-boyfriend.

“Plaintiff and the Combs Rico Enterprise were rehearsing for ‘Something in the Water festival’ in Virginia. Plaintiff Jones personally witnessed Mr. Combs do a few lines of coke in his dressing room,” the court filing reads. At one point, “Combs wanted tuci but Brendan forgot it,” so the City Girls rapper was allegedly called to transport some on a private jet from Miami.

Lil Rod also claimed in his updated lawsuit that Combs would brag about how he’d pay Yung Miami and other women including 50 Cent’s ex Daphne Joy a “monthly stipend” in exchange for their services as alleged sex workers.

TMZ reported that the allegations about Yung Miami transporting the drugs for her ex didn’t check out as Miami was said to be getting fitted for her Met Gala dress during the time of Lil Rod’s claims.

Though she’s accused of flying in from her native Miami, the timestamps indicate she was in New York City on April 30, 2023.

Photos obtained by the Shade Room also corroborated that story, showing time stamps that proved the City Girl was in New York during Diddy’s Something in the Water performance.

Yung Miami Denied Being Diddy’s Sex Worker, Said She Was Never Abused By Mogul

As for the sex worker allegations, Miami swiftly shut them down on Twitter, before responding to a post 50 Cent made about her being a “little sex worker” after she referred to herself as “a whore” on The Jason Lee Show.

“It’s ok to be a whore just make sure you’re being over paid,” 50 Cent captioned a clip of the interview.

He continued trolling with wordplay and an abbreviation for the taunt he repeatedly used for his ex, Daphne, “Little Sex Worker.”

“See a Sucker, catch a Sucker, Suck a Sucker dry. You go girl LSW,” he continued.

Miami sounded off and said that the comment was “taken out of context.” She clarified that it’s “slang” and a common “gay slur” that Jason Lee would understand. However, she made it clear that she “never” did sex work.

“It’s a gay slur. ‘What’s up, whore’ is something my gay cousin always said to me. It’s c**t it’s a slang that we said to each other. That’s what I was trying to explain to Jason because he’s gay and he got what I was trying to say,” Miami wrote.

“I’m not a prostitute. I never sold [cat emoji] a day in my life,” she said. Adding, “I hate how this is getting spun.”

50 Cent then posted a screenshot of Yung Miami’s comment, stating that he meant no harm and didn’t want to “hurt her, or her feelings.”

Miami has also denied being abused by Diddy. Just last month she told PEOPLE that she was “deeply hurt and shocked after watching the video,” of Diddy physically assaulting his ex Cassie but insisted, “That was not my experience at all.”

What do YOU think about Yung Miami being named in another Diddy lawsuit?

As the penultimate episode of Power Book II: Ghost airs, Gianni Paolo is reflecting on Brayden Weston’s journey from spoiled rich kid to Tariq’s gun-toting, crime-committing confidant.

Dedicated Power watchers know that Brayden completely left behind his prep school roots to be Tariq St. Patrick’s partner in crime (literally), who helps him navigate the underworld where crooked cops like Carter and drug bosses like Noma reside.

According to Gianni Paolo, digging into Brayden’s complexities has made the role especially fulfilling.

“The cool thing about Brayden was he was funny, but he also had to navigate tough situations—his dad, and obviously killing his uncle,” he told BOSSIP’s Managing Editor Dani Canada. “So, as an actor, it was so fun to find those funny moments even in the darkest episodes.”

One of his favorite parts about playing Brayden was getting to dive into intense, dramatic scenes.

“I loved going to the trap house with Cane and throwing my uncle off a roof. That was so wild,” said Gianni. “I always joke that with the way I look, I should’ve been on Riverdale, but instead, I get to sell drugs on 50 Cent’s show. It’s just a blessing. Every episode, every scene, every moment—even when Brayden’s on the back burner, I was always happy and grateful to be a part of this universe.”

As Brayden becomes darker, comparisons to the legendary Tommy Egan from the original Power series have surfaced among fans, most recently when Brayden killed his girlfriend’s dealer for selling her bad drugs.

Gianni finds the parallels between Brayden and Tommy flattering but acknowledges that there’s a stark contrast between them.

“It’s definitely a compliment,” he acknowledged. “What Joseph [Sikora] did with Tommy was amazing—he has his own show now. Brayden is like Tariq’s Tommy for sure, his right hand.”

“Brayden grew up with money and a connected family, whereas Tommy grew up in the hood with Ghost. It’s a different upbringing, but I like the comparisons. I think it’s cool, and this season Brayden gets even darker, so those comparisons will keep coming.”

One of Brayden’s defining moments this season was that aforementioned moment when he killed a drug dealer for his girlfriend, Elle, only to get dumped shortly after. “Come on, girl, this is for you!” Gianni laughed about Brayden’s actions before acknowledging that there will be consequences as Brayden continues to become “more reckless.”

“Brayden’s doing crazy stuff, and he kind of needs to tone it down because it’s getting in the way of the business. You’ll see some fallout from that, but the big focus is on how we deal with Carter and how everything wraps up,” he told BOSSIP.

“It shows a different side of Brayden, a more reckless, careless side—kind of like Tommy when Holly died, and he didn’t care if he lived or died. That’s when someone becomes the most dangerous.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Gianni dished to BOSSIP about one of the highlights of the show; the copious nicknames that Cane Tejada (Woody McClain) has given Brayden.

“I forgot he called me Charlie Sheen a couple episodes ago—that was so funny,” Gianni recalled to BOSSIP. “I’m actually friends with Machine Gun Kelly, so when Cane called me that on the show, I sent the clip to him, and he was dying laughing. He also called me Taylor Swift and some other wild names. It’s funny because Tommy called me Bieber in the original Power, but that scene got cut. And I think that was the start of it all.

He continued,

“Even though it never wound up making it [to TV], the writers knew what they wanted to do. And I feel like in Power, we bring up a lot of current things. And it’s not always written. Obviously, when the YSL trial was going on and still is going on, we had a scene that originally said Gambino Crime Family. So I was like, ‘No, we got to change this to YSL RICO,’ and that went crazy on social media. So I think the writers do a good job, but also us as the actors are like, let’s keep it current because every time we do something like that, it goes crazy on Twitter. And that’s just good for the show.”

BOSSIP Sr. Content Director Janeé Bolden spoke with Wise about the role prior to the series premiere and learned the actress was determined to portray a character who extended beyond ‘swinger’ stereotypes.

“I absolutely was such a linebacker when it came to making sure that you knew that Sloane was a full human being,” Wise told BOSSIP. “That she suffered with everything she’s going through, everything you see in the series, and whether or not that experience is more or less empathetic or sympathetic than the other storylines was not my concern. My concern was making sure that she and Richard were living, breathing, real human beings. That what hurt them, hurt them. That what got to them, got to them. That their egos are their egos and that even inside this world of wealth, you also know that no one is immune from life.”

An all-new episode of Three Women debuts Friday, September 27 on STARZ at 10:00 PM ET/PT. The episode debuts at midnight on the STARZ app.

The laundry list of lawsuits being filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs just keeps getting longer.

Black Tie Affair For Quality Control's CEO Pierre

The latest lawsuit filed against the Bad Boy founder is from a woman claiming Combs not only drugged and sexually assaulted her, but also got her pregnant.

In documents obtained by TMZ, a Jane Doe filed documents on Friday, claiming the rapper assaulted her multiple times over a four-year period. She also alleges that one of the encounters resulted in her getting pregnant, though she ended up suffering a miscarriage.

The anonymous woman, who is being represented by attorney Joseph L. Ciaccio, claims she first met Combs in the fall of 2020, when she was invited to join him on an all-expenses paid trip. She goes on to say she saw the disgraced music mogul regularly between 2021 and 2022, meeting up with Diddy at his homes in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and other locations.

The woman claims, however, that she did not travel by her own will, saying Combs and his staff would use “coercive and harassing language” to make her agree to the trips. She also claims drivers would show up at her home to take her to Diddy, making her feel like she didn’t have a choice.

Doe goes on to allege that the rapper also used spiked alcoholic beverages as a way to force her to do his bidding. The woman also accuses him of forcing her to take ketamine and other drugs in July 2022, which allegedly resulted in her blacking out. It was after that alleged incident that she says she got pregnant.

According to her lawsuit, one of Combs’ associates called her repeatedly while harassing her to get an abortion, but she says she ultimately suffered a miscarriage. After the miscarriage, she says she tried to get space from the rapper, but claims he would harass her with calls and texts until she agreed to see him — which she claims continued through July 2024.

The woman is saying she suffered trauma, financial injury, and physical injury and is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

Naomi Campbell has been banned from her charity role for five years after the results of a financial investigation.

The supermodel is barred from serving as a charity trustee for five years, according to reports from USA Today. This comes after a United Kingdom watchdog group found evidence of financial misconduct at her charity, Fashion for Relief.

On Thursday, the U.K.’s Charity Commission released a report, which revealed that the charity was “poorly governed” and “had inadequate financial management.”

The investigation found that Fashion for Relief spent less than 9% of its earnings on grants and causes, adding that some of the charity’s expenses were “not reasonable.” These unreasonable expenses include a stay at a five-star hotel and security for Campbell in 2018, along with other superfluous purchases including “spa treatments, room service, and the purchase of cigarettes.”

Naomi Campbell wasn’t the only one banned from her role. Two of the model’s co-trustees, Bianka Hellmich and Veronica Chou, were also barred from serving as trustees for nine and four years, respectively. USA Today reports the Charity Commission’s investigation found Hellmich received over $388,000 in consultancy fees, which were  not authorized by the commission.

“This inquiry, and the work of the interim managers we appointed to run the charity in place of the trustees, has resulted in the recovery of £344,000 and protection of a further £98,000 charitable funds,” Charity Commission deputy director Tim Hopkins said in a statement. “I am pleased that the inquiry has seen donations made to other charities which this charity has previously supported.”

Campbell founded Fashion For Relief in 2005 before getting the charity officially registered in 2015. According to their website, “Fashion For Relief is dedicated to improving the lives of those living in adversity, by uniting the fashion industry as a force for good.”
