Morgan Wallen Life Update

Morgan Wallen has had an interesting year in 2024 so far. While he’s had a ton of success with his music, he’s also made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Because of this, the singer has been laying low as of late.

On the music side of things, he’s found a lot of success with his recent single with Post Malone, called “I Had Some Help,” and is currently on his massive “One Night At A Time” tour. Unfortunately, his major accomplishments in music were recently overshadowed by an event that took place on April 7th, 2024.

While attending Eric Church’s new bar in Nashville, Wallen was arrested for throwing a chair off the roof of the bar. Not only that, but the chair narrowly missed a few police officers who were walking below the rooftop of the bar. He would ultimately be charged with three counts of felony reckless endangerment and a single count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

He was released quickly following his arrest after he posted his $15,250 bond. After taking time to reflect on the incident and let things cool down, Wallen took to social media to apologize. He said that he wasn’t proud of his behavior and took full responsibility for his actions.

Wallen is Trying to Stay Out of Trouble

However, this isn’t the only negative press that Wallen’s had to deal with recently. In early 2021, he was recorded saying a racial slur on a video filmed during a night out with friends. 

While he issued a statement to apologize, several radio stations removed his songs from their rotation. He had his recording contract suspended, and he wasn’t eligible for any Country Music Awards that year. Wallen was also nominated for several awards at the 2021 American Music Awards but wasn’t invited to the show to accept any potential awards.

He eventually made amends and donated funds to the Black Music Action Coalition. His music has since returned to most stations, and he’s won several awards since then.

After this recent problematic behavior and his arrest in 2024, Wallen took a step back out of the public eye. However, he recently returned to social media and posted a video updating fans about his life.

Wallen said he’s been in the studio, is spending more time with his child, and is staying out of trouble. He also tells his fans that his new song is due to arrive soon.

He was recently spotted sitting with former NFL QB Peyton Manning at a Tennessee vs. Texas A&M College Baseball World Series game.

While he’s had his fair share of issues recently, it seems Wallen is doing his best to stay out of trouble. There’s no doubting his popularity in music. But, his problematic behavior often seems to be what dominates the headlines and takes away from his other successes.

Exposing Kelly Rowland’s Marriage

Kelly Rowland has been married to Tim Weatherspoon for 10 years, which is crazy considering their relationship almost didn’t happen. On top of that, they’ve encountered a surprising amount of challenges and drama over the years. 

But what kind of scandals and issues have the couple really faced? The truth about Kelly and Tim’s marriage is seriously bizarre, so let’s get into it.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Kelly and Tim started dating sometime in 2011. At that point, they had already known each other for a decade. 

RELATED: Who is Nelly’s Baby Mama?

People Magazine reported that Tim, who works as a talent manager, worked with Destiny’s Child in the early 2000s. In a 2016 interview with A Drink With, Kelly explained that when Michelle Williams joined Destiny’s Child, Tim started hanging around more often. He and Michelle had been friends since they were kids and basically viewed each other as family. 

Before long, Kelly discovered that Tim had a serious crush on her. During a 2020 interview with Erwin McManus on the Mosaic YouTube channel, Kelly revealed that Michelle began talking about Tim’s crush almost right after she joined the group. However, Kelly wasn’t really paying much attention to Tim at the time. 

Kelly Wasn’t Romantically Interested in Tim

When Destiny’s Child disbanded in 2006, she and Tim continued working together. But for years, she still wasn’t romantically interested in him, and the reason why was absolutely insane.

While speaking with A Drink With, Kelly admitted that she didn’t want anything more than a friendship with Tim for a while, because she was “super shallow” back then. She added that he wasn’t even close to being the type of guy she usually dated. Even though Kelly knew her reasons for not being into Tim were superficial, she still couldn’t look past them.

Eventually, Kelly and Tim became closer as friends, and they would occasionally talk on the phone together. But because she had such a strong fear of commitment, she almost pushed him away before they even started dating. 

Kelly told Vogue Australia in 2018 that when she was younger, it terrified her to think about loving one person for the rest of her life. In fact, what she did as soon as she started seeing Tim as a potential boyfriend was honestly outrageous.

Kelly Tried to Break Up with Tim

Kelly revealed that she’d had a long history of awful relationships. So, when she realized how much she liked talking with Tim, she got a little bit freaked out. 

She tried to push him away in an attempt to protect her heart. She told him that she was going to take a year-long break from dating. 

Kelly even said that she was going to simply wait for God to send her a husband. But instead of backing off, Tim asked her a seriously unexpected question. He wanted to know what she would do if she realized after a year that he was the man God had sent her to marry. 

Kelly knew at that moment that Tim was supposed to be her husband. She was so overwhelmed by her fears that she couldn’t respond to him and actually hung up the phone. 

Kelly explained that the deep conversations she was able to have with Tim were too special to risk losing. She decided to give a relationship with him a chance. But, she was still worried about whether it would work out, so she stayed surprisingly quiet about their romance. 

Kelly May Have Settled for Tim

Many people believe that Kelly basically settled for Tim, and not just because she initially wasn’t attracted to him. There have been speculations that she only started dating him because she knew she wanted to have children someday. 

Kelly was already 30 years old and had been having terrible luck with other men. She might have felt like she was running out of time to find a potential baby daddy, so she decided to settle for Tim. 

But that’s not the only red flag that people have pointed out in their relationship. Not long after Kelly and Tim started dating, she made an insane business move. 

She had been co-managed by Tim and Devyne Stephens, but according to a thread on Lipstick Alley that quoted a Sandra Rose article, she suddenly decided to fire Devyne in June 2011. Sandra Rose reported that industry insiders claimed that Tim demanded that Kelly part ways with Devyne. 

The sources added that Tim was allegedly jealous of Devyne’s good looks and his professional history with Kelly. He wanted him out of the way. 

Obviously, if Tim really did force Kelly to drop Devyne because he was jealous, that’s super alarming. But him being Kelly’s only manager as well as her boyfriend was also concerning, on its own, because of the risks involved whenever businesses and relationships overlap.  

Tim Proposed Over Skype

According to VIBE Magazine, Kelly made a shocking announcement when she appeared on an episode of The Queen Latifah Show in December 2013. She revealed that she and Tim hadn’t just been keeping their relationship on the down-low for a couple of years. They had also gotten engaged!

What she said about his proposal was truly unbelievable. Kelly explained that Tim had popped the question over Skype since she was in Bulgaria at the time. 

She claimed that it didn’t really matter to her how he asked her to marry him since she knew what she was going to say in response. Kelly admitted that it was so easy for her to say yes to Tim because she knew it meant that she would always have her best friend by her side. 

However, a lot of people couldn’t get over how impersonal and non-romantic the proposal sounded. In a thread posted on Lipstick Alley, many of the site’s users pointed out that Kelly and Tim don’t look like they have much, if any, romantic chemistry between them. They do appear to have a good connection, but it seems more like they’re friends than relationship partners.  

Several people in the thread brought up that Kelly regularly refers to Tim as her best friend. But she was also in some toxic relationships before she started dating Tim. It may have changed her opinion about what she really wanted and what was most important to her.

Some comments suggested that Kelly probably realized early on that she and Tim didn’t have a crazy amount of chemistry. But, he seemed more emotionally stable than her exes, and that might have been a bigger priority to her.

The Couple Faced Divorce Rumors in 2019

Interestingly, Kelly told ABC News in 2017 that she and Tim had made their own rules for their relationship. She added that it had been “working out really great” for them because of the amount of respect they had for each other.

According to People magazine, Kelly and Tim got married in Costa Rica in May 2014. Surprisingly, they welcomed a baby boy to the world that November, named Titan. 

Over the next several years, they seemed to be happy together. But then, everything suddenly came crashing down. In the fall of 2019, rumors started going around that claimed that Kelly and Tim were either in the middle of a divorce or separation.

According to AceShowBiz, Kelly was seen out and about that October without her wedding band, which only fueled the split speculations. Kelly had also been making public appearances and going to events on her own, which wasn’t like her at all. Not to mention, Tim hadn’t appeared in any of her social media posts for two months. 

But what happened nearly two weeks later was absolutely startling. Sandra Rose reported that in the middle of October, Kelly was photographed getting lunch with a new guy friend. 

Sources explained that two years earlier, Tim had urged Kelly to accept a job offer to be on The Voice Australia. With Tim being in California and Kelly being in Sydney, the long distance was supposedly causing trouble in their marriage. A separate insider claimed that Tim had allegedly purposely booked the gig in Australia to keep Kelly far away because he was cheating on her in California. 

Kelly and Tim kept a low profile over the next few months, but they seemingly wanted to stay together and make their marriage work. 

Tim No Longer Manages Kelly

But during a June 2020 interview with the Mosaic YouTube channel, Kelly made an unexpected revelation. Apparently, Tim had stopped managing Kelly at some point. It seemed like creating some separation between their marriage and business was a good idea. 

A few months later, Kelly made a surprising announcement to the world. Kelly revealed that she and Tim were expecting another baby when she appeared on the cover of the November 2020 issue of Women’s Health magazine. 

It wasn’t long before she broke the news that their newest family member had arrived. In January 2021, Kelly posted on Instagram to share with her followers that she and Tim had welcomed a second baby boy, named Noah. Kelly and Tim both appear to be very involved parents. 

Recently, people started speculating that there might be trouble in paradise yet again. Kelly actually starred in Mea Culpa, an extremely risqué and suggestive thriller movie that premiered a few months ago. 

According to The Will Downtown, Kelly made sure to call Tim before shooting the especially steamy scenes with her co-star, Trevante Rhodes. Kelly claimed that Tim supported her and understood that the scenes with Trevante were all part of her job. But many people have wondered if that’s really the case. 

Considering how jealous Tim reportedly got over Kelly working with Devyne Stephens, was he truly on board with her latest role? Some people believe that Kelly’s scenes with Trevante showed more chemistry than there is in her marriage with Tim. 

So far, Kelly and Tim appear to be ignoring those comments online and focusing on their family. From speculations that Kelly settled for Tim, to cheating and divorce rumors, there have been some really crazy red flags in Kelly and Tim’s marriage over the years. 

Faith Evans Leaked Footage of Diddy

There’s been a lot of debate about whether Diddy is innocent of the crimes leveled against him. Although most people are convinced he’s guilty, Stevie J is certainly of a different opinion.

Given their twenty-nine-year friendship, it’s unsurprising that their bond could be making him blind to his friend’s alleged atrocities. However, after Faith Evans allegedly dropped disturbing footage starring both parties, social media has started spreading another round of rumors that the two friends might have been in an affair.

Could there be any truth to this? You’ll never believe what was just uncovered.

RELATED: The Warning Signs of Diddy’s Collapse

Faith Evans’ and Diddy’s relationship goes way back. You might remember her from her time working with Bad Boy Records, a label Diddy owned, in the mid-to-late 1990s.

Say what you want, but she had a very huge influence on the label. In fact, most people credit her as the reason the label was solidified as one of the premier record labels in hip-hop and R&B.

Aside from her career, Faith also had a rather interesting relationship with The Notorious B.I.G., with the two tying the knot after a mere week of knowing each other. Most people remember Faith as a multi-talented singer and television producer who has remained relevant even though she hasn’t had the smoothest time in the music industry. Since she used to work with Diddy, it’s not too surprising that she had a few things to share concerning the recent allegations brought against him.

Diddy Has Had an Eventful Year

If you have no idea what’s going on, let me break it down for you. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a US music mogul and influential hip-hop producer who has maintained relevance since gaining fame in the 90s.

At the beginning of his career, he was known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Buddy Love, and later just stuck with Diddy. He started by being Notorious B.I.G. ‘s manager and producer. Soon enough, he became popular enough to run the music world.

Diddy’s list of achievements wasn’t enough to stop a raid on his Los Angeles and Florida mansions in March 2024. The Department of Homeland Security raided both homes as part of an ongoing trafficking investigation. Although, it’s still unclear whether Diddy was the kingpin or if he just happened to be an important side character.

Following this raid, the internet went ablaze, with many social media users rallying against him, especially since he was spotted allegedly trying to run away following the raid. Still, some people decided to stand with him, and basically deny that the allegations had any truth to them.

I’m not one to judge, but with the evidence and receipts that have been popping up all over the Internet, showcasing Diddy in a light many of us haven’t seen before, I’m not sure what to believe anymore. Stevie J is not as conflicted, and cannot be deterred, choosing to stand behind his friend of twenty-nine years.

Faith Has Turned on Her Longtime Friend

Interestingly, Stevie was also married to Faith Evans from 2018 until 2023. So, they’re all kinds of intertwined here. That’s possibly why people are taking everything Faith says rather seriously.

Well, she hasn’t really said much about the situation. But I don’t think she needs to, especially after allegedly releasing the shocking footage starring Diddy and her ex-husband. The video allegedly shows Diddy and someone who bears a striking resemblance to Stevie J participating in some ‘unusual’ activities.

Naturally, this fueled the rumors that the duo weren’t just really good friends, and were in fact, lovers. While that’s still very questionable, some observers wonder why Faith is seemingly turning on her long-time friend. Especially since years ago when she was asked about Diddy, she shared that she’d always seen him as a visionary.

While some insist that she’s allowed to have a mind of her own, especially since this is such a delicate case and justice is just on the brink for the number of people involved in the lawsuits, others believe Faith still has a personal vendetta against her ex-husband.

Stevie and Faith Had a Very Rocky Relationship

Just in case you weren’t aware, Faith and Stevie’s relationship didn’t exactly end on smooth terms. Stevie accused her of infidelity. However, the two always somehow got back together.

On Mother’s Day in 2021, he even penned a heartfelt apology to her on social media, proving they were somehow still together despite the rumors of a pending divorce. After a couple of months, we heard that they were separated and on their way to a divorce.

Now, I don’t know about you, but to me, their relationship appeared to be rather rocky. Plus, they were in the process of a divorce for two years of the five they were married.

Anyway, some people believe Faith just had it out for Stevie. Since he was close friends with Diddy, there was no better time to send a message than now.

Most of Faith’s career has been marked by drama surrounding her personal life. From marrying The Notorious B.I.G. just two months after meeting him in 1995 to becoming the wronged party in an affair between her husband and Lil’ Kim to her mysterious association with Tupac Shakur, her life literally went from being normal to a hip-hop mystery.

Social Media Users Tracked Diddy’s Private Jet

As for the situation with Diddy, his lawyer is choosing to call the raid of his client’s home an “unprecedented ambush” and a “gross overuse of military-level force.” As expected, he’s still maintaining Diddy’s innocence even after his whereabouts became unknown to everyone, including law enforcement.

After his disappearance, speculation about where he might be began to pop up. The internet was raving about this news. Many followers kept an eye out for him and even replaced several slang words with “Diddy.”

Soon enough, some news outlets reported that he’d been stopped at an airport in Miami after the raids on his homes. According to them, he was preparing to leave for the Bahamas.

If you were hoping he was detained, he wasn’t. Since he wasn’t, hundreds of internet sleuths made it their mission to keep tracking his private jet.

Now, I must tell you that this has all sorts of illegal written all over it. But fans on social media are like sharks when they smell blood, and Diddy’s just happened to be the one they were seeking out. Antigua’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne even had to take the stage to tell the entire world that there didn’t appear to be any “credible information” that Diddy was anywhere on the Caribbean island.

If you’re wondering what Diddy had to say for himself concerning all these allegations, I’ve got you covered. According to him, he hasn’t done anything wrong.

But really, what were we expecting him to say? That he did everything he’s been accused of? Whether or not he’s willing to spill the beans, according to several lawsuits, allegations, and the very public search of his properties by US federal agents, he could be in quite a lot of trouble.

Stevie is Standing by His Friend

At least he’s got Stevie and several people by his side. TMZ recently got Stevie J in an interview to share his two cents on the issue. According to him, Diddy was innocent of all the allegations.

He even shared that he was very familiar with what Diddy’s parties were like. He admitted to attending a number of them, which is expected as they have a tight bond. However, he stated that instead of the questionable activities that the lawsuits claim allegedly happened at Diddy’s parties, they were just good parties where people came to turn up, socialize, and have a good time.

Once again, concerned internet users have collectively decided that Stevie is just saying and doing all of this to hide the parts he played in the activities that led to the lawsuit. All I can say is that it’s pretty difficult to tell the truth. However, with the receipts people have been dropping all over the internet, I find it hard to believe Stevie J isn’t in on it.

Whatever it might be, I hope that the investigation leads to a satisfactory ending where whoever deserves it is content with the outcome. For now, all we know is that Diddy hasn’t been arrested for any criminal conduct, but there’s a huge possibility that he might soon be according to legal experts.

It won’t be his first run-in with the law. A few years ago, he was released from jail several hours after his arrest. The reason for his arrest was an alleged assault with a weight-room kettlebell that occurred at the athletic facilities of the University of California, L.A., where his son Justin plays football.

Now, Diddy could spend more than just a few hours in prison if found guilty. Let’s all hope for the best.

Ariana Grande Breaks Silence on Quiet on Set

Ariana Grande just addressed the claims made by former Nickelodeon stars in the ID documentary “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” Among the stars of “Quiet on Set,” whose five episodes debuted on Max and Discovery+ earlier this spring, was the singer-actor. The documentary series looked at unsettling moments that appeared to sexualize young Nickelodeon performers. 

Quiet on Set drew in longtime Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider, who created “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat,” as well as convicted sex offender Brian Peck.

Ariana Grande Said Hearing About Coworkers’ Experiences Was ‘Devastating’

The “Wicked” actress called for therapists to be “mandatory” on kid show sets as she reflected on her time spent on the sets of “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat”. Grande said that hearing about the experiences of some of her coworkers was “devastating.”

In a recent episode of his podcast Podcrushed, Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley openly discussed the docuseries with Grande.

“Obviously, my relationship to child acting has, and is currently, and has been changing,” she told Badgley and his co-hosts. “I’m reprocessing a lot of what the experience was like. I think that the environment needs to be made safer if kids are going to be acting.”

Grande pointed out that child and teenage actors will frequently do almost anything to make a scene memorable or to make viewers laugh. Reliving some of her Nickelodeon moments, she claimed, has changed her perspective on how she behaved and how her adult supervisors had told her to.

Ariana Said ‘I Think The Environment Needs To Be Made Safer …’ 

“I think the environment needs to be made safer if kids are going to be acting,” Grande said on her episode of Podcrushed. “And I think there should be therapists. I think parents should be allowed to be wherever they want to be, and I think not only on kids’ sets. If anyone wants to do this, or music, or anything at this level of exposure, there should be in the contract something about therapy is mandatory twice a week or thrice a week, or something like that.”

When the show first came out and the accusations were flying around, Grande claimed to be “reprocessing” her own “relationship to it a little bit now.” Given the new context, Grande has been “upset” when revisiting some of the sequences she taped as a teenager for the sitcoms in which she acted.

Ariana Grande Said ‘… I Guess I’m Upset, Yeah’

“Specifically about our show, I think that was something that we were convinced was the cool thing about us, is that we pushed the envelope with our humor,” said Grande. “And the innuendos were… it was like the cool differentiation. And I don’t know, I think it just all happened so quickly and now looking back on some of the clips I’m like, ‘Damn, really? Oh shit’…and the things that weren’t approved for the network were snuck onto like our website or whatever. I guess I’m upset, yeah.”

Ever since the docuseries on ID debuted, clips from “Sam & Cat” have gone viral. In them, Grande can be seen trying to milk a potato, sucking on her toe, and dumping water on herself while lying on the side of a bed. Some fans have spoken out about how Grande should probably be more disturbed by what she was told to do as a child star.

Tasha K Exposes Nelly’s Affair and Secret Child

In 2023, Nelly and Ashanti rekindled an old relationship from around a decade prior, and the two recently confirmed they have a baby on the way. Most of the public is congratulatory, but there are a collection of individuals, including YouTuber and internet personality Tasha K who have slammed the couple.

Nelly and Ashanti’s Successful Music Career

For those unfamiliar, Nelly is a rapper, singer, and actor who has been active since 1993. He’s won several Grammy awards, Billboard Music awards, and sold tens of millions of records. Nelly is among the most popular hip hop artists of all time, with many songs and records peaking at the top of the charts.

Ashanti is a singer and actress who won dozens of awards throughout her 20+ year career, including 8 Billboard Music awards, a Grammy, and many others. She’s sold millions of records and dominated the charts throughout the early 2000s with numerous top 5 hits.

The pair initially met at the 2003 Grammy Awards, and began a romantic relationship soon after. They would go on to spend years together, before ultimately breaking up in 2023. But then about a decade later, the pair reunited and began dating again. Even Ashanti herself was surprised by this, as she said she never expected the romance to be rekindled.

Tasha K And Fans Bash Nelly And Ashanti’s Relationship 


While many fans are happy and congratulatory about this reunion of past lovers, not everyone is joyous. For example, Tasha K had some harsh words for Ashanti recently about her relationship.

She said that Ashanti was doing too much for her rapper boyfriend, without getting much in return. This includes getting him a car, having multiple birthday parties for him, and carrying a purse with his face on it. Tasha K also believed that Nelly was wasting Ashanti’s time and that he didn’t really want her.

All in all, she’s said some pretty harsh things about the couple, and some others have made similar comments bashing the relationship. There have also been rumors that Nelly may have cheated and even has a secret child with another woman, but these haven’t been substantiated.

However, one of the major talking points that Tasha K and others critical of the relationship have focused on is that despite their long history, Ashanti still didn’t have a ring. But much to the surprise of many, it was recently revealed that Nelly and Ashanti actually had a quiet marriage back in December 2023.

Ashanti and Nelly Proved Haters Wrong 

This was before they even announced their engagement or that they were pregnant in the first place, which both took place in April 2024. As a result, many people will have to take back their words as it seems the pair are truly committed to one another this time and have been for months.


While there are certainly those who may not be fond of the relationship, with a marriage behind them and a new child ahead of them, Nelly and Ashanti seem to be very happy and excited about the future together.

Teen Mom fans have followed Kailyn Lowrey’s journey into motherhood ever since her first appearance on 16 and Pregnant. The reality star now has a large, blended family, but she shares that she has a special bond with her eldest child, Isaac.

It was Isaac who became the focus in a shocking photo shared by Lowrey. The reality TV star shared a photo of herself with Isaac and his dad Jo Rivera while at his middle school graduation. Yes, fans are shocked at the time that has gone by already, with Isaac off to high school in the fall.

Kailyn Lowrey Has a Special Bond With Son Isaac

The 31-year-old shared that she and Isaac grew up together. In a post to mark his 13th birthday, she commented that Isaac is sometimes more grown up than she is. Isaac is the baby Teen Mom fans saw Lowrey have first, the baby who made her a mom.

According to E! Online, she shared that Isaac “challenges social norms,” and that is an inspiration to her. She also shared that he is brilliant and funny. Sometimes he’s a “smartass.” Isaac is also kind, accepting people for who they are rather than what society says they should be.

While Kail says she has a lot of other celebrations at the same time, she also can’t believe that her eldest is going to high school. Neither can the fans, who have felt like a part of his life since he was born. Fans have watched him grow up through the social media posts Kail has shared over the years.

Isaac’s ASL Award Noted By Fans

Lowrey wanted to make sure her son’s award for American Sign Language was displayed in the social media posts. This led to fans praising the young man for learning ASL. One fan commented that they have worked with the Deaf for 24 years and more male interpreters are needed.

This is a career the Teen Mom star hopes that her son continues to pursue. It is a rewarding career, even though a difficult one.

Teen Mom Star Kailyn Says There Is ‘No Beef’

The 31-year-old reality star has a large, blended family. While she has Isaac with Rivera, she also has six other children. She has 10-year-old Lincoln with ex-husband Javi Marroquin, six-year-old Lux and three-year-old Creed with Chris Lopez, and then 19-month-old Rio and six-month-old twins Valley and Verse with her current boyfriend Elijah Scott.

With such a large family, it can be easy for personalities to clash. However, Lowrey shares that there is “no beef” between everyone. They need to work together in this family, but it helps that there is no communication between the fathers. Lowrey deals with them all individually.Fans did take to the comments on Isaac’s post to praise the two co-parents, according to Cafe Mom. They both made it about their son and not each other, which is the way it should be. Fans commented that the positive co-parenting is showing through with the type of boy Isaac is.

Nelly Speaks Out On Ashanti’s Pregnancy

It took decades for Nelly and Ashanti to find their happily ever after, but just one year for them to get back together, get engaged, and get pregnant.

Now, everything is getting revealed about Nelly and Ashanti’s second-chance love story, and there’s a whole lot of tea to spill!

One lucky media outlet recently got a “behind-the-scenes” exclusive at Ashanti’s stunning maternity shoot. Entertainment Tonight got the scoop, and they didn’t just publish gorgeous photos of Ashanti in a sparkly gold bikini with her baby bump on a sunny beach.

Ashanti Reveals Shocking Pregnancy Secret 

Ashanti told ET a shocking secret about her pregnancy reveal and how Nelly spoke out on stage before they even knew for sure that she was having a baby.

This past April, Ashanti went “Instagram-official” with her baby news, and it’s one of the cutest video reveals ever. Ashanti is preparing to go on stage, and the video shows one of her team members doing a quick check-in with Ashanti. After that, Ashanti’s mom, Tina Douglas, pops in, and Tina asks her daughter “how much time” until she’ll be ready. 

Ashanti answers Tina’s question by appearing ready and gorgeous in the video. However, she admits, “I’m gonna need about nine months.” Then Tina reacts with shock and joy at the news that she will be a grandma.

When Ashanti And Nelly’s Pregnancy Rumor Mill Started 

However, as Nelly and Ashanti’s fans and followers know, the speculation about Ashanti possibly being pregnant started months earlier. One of the things that really got the rumor mill going was their appearance together on stage during a fancy ball in St. Louis last December.

The River Front Times reported on Nelly’s Black & White Ball, an annual, star-studded event in St. Louis to benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation. 

River Front Times wrote that “hip-hop luminaries, local celebrities, and St. Louis sports legends” mingled at the Black & White Ball. The local media outlet sounded most surprised when they reported that Nelly and Ashanti hosted the evening and were “back together!”

Wyclef Jean kicked off the “late-night party” after a fancy dinner, and then River Front Times reported that “the man of the hour, Nelly,” took over “with a stageful of friends.” Ashanti was on stage with her man, and their onstage banter got caught on a viral video.

Nelly ‘Got Tongues Wagging’

As ET wrote of the viral video moment, Nelly “got tongues wagging,” and it all began when it looked like Ashanti was placing “her hands on her belly.” 

The video shows the crowd going nuts as Nelly quickly caresses Ashanti’s tummy, sticks his tongue out, and then puts an adorable grin on his face. Ashanti proves she can handle the situation gracefully as she “playfully slaps his hand away.” They both started laughing, the crowd cheered, and ET added that producer Polow da Don cracked a joke into the mic that Nelly and Ashanti should “seal the deal” already, and the crowd started chanting “seal the deal,” too.

Ashanti Spills Tea About Nelly 

At that point, Nelly really didn’t have to admit anything about a baby because the image of him with Ashanti spoke more than a thousand words. But as Ashanti told ET, there was one little problem.

Shockingly, Ashanti confessed to ET that she didn’t even know she was pregnant on December 3rd, and Nelly couldn’t have known something that Ashanti didn’t. Or could he?

Ashanti thinks there is just one explanation for what went down in that viral video: it was a sheer coincidence! But she also spilled some tea about Nelly.

Ashanti alleged that Nelly wanted to make “it look like something” on stage, even though she claimed no baby belly was “showing” at the Black & White Ball. As she confirmed to ET, “I hadn’t even taken a [pregnancy] test at that time.” Still, Nelly had fun on his mind.

Ashanti also revealed that when it looked like she was caressing her stomach, she was “just trying to adjust the pendant” on her gorgeous black dress. 

She told ET, “I was pushing [the pendant] down,” and in the video, Nelly sees her doing that. That’s when he also rubs her belly to make it “look like something.” At this point, they both burst into laughter, and Ashanti later admitted to ET that she playfully said, “No!” to make her man stop.

Ashanti “Confirmed Her Suspicions” About Being Pregnant 

Ashanti wanted to be clear about her pregnancy timeline with ET, and one revelation she made is that she didn’t miss a period until weeks after the Black & White Ball. Then, Ashanti began to suspect something.

As ET reported, Ashanti “confirmed her suspicions” about possibly being pregnant, and as soon as she knew for sure, she “immediately notified” Nelly.

Ashanti was so excited she FaceTimed Nelly. She told ET, “I couldn’t wait,” and she “had to get it out.” You can be the judge of how Nelly took the pregnancy news.

When Ashanti got a hold of Nelly on video chat, she revealed, “He was just like, ‘Oh, I knew.’” If that sounds like a letdown, Ashanti reassured ET that Nelly’s reaction to their “big news” was pure joy. So, maybe Nelly knew something deep down after all?

Ashanti Said Nelly Was ‘So Happy’

Ashanti said that Nelly was “so happy,” and they were “smiling.” Something else about the timing of her FaceTime call was “so funny” to Ashanti and Nelly, and she revealed that to ET.

When Ashanti FaceTimed Nelly, she explained, “He was in the studio,” and she was “actually at his mom’s house.” It sounds like a full circle moment, and Ashanti described it as “really cool” and “a little bit of everything.”

People reported two pieces of joyful news on April 17th with the headline: “Ashanti Confirms She’s Pregnant, Expecting Baby with Nelly, and They’re Engaged.” 

The article revealed how Nelly had dropped a bombshell about their future pregnancy plans, even if he was just having fun again as he did in the viral video.

Instagram Follower Demanded Nelly To Get Ashanti ‘Pregnant Tonight’

People wrote that Nelly and Ashanti were flirting “in the comments of an Instagram post.” Their fans and followers can’t get enough of this adorable couple, and one follower had the nerve to say something personal to Nelly.

The follower demanded on Instagram that Nelly should get Ashanti “pregnant tonight.” That took some nerve, but Nelly took it in stride.

People wrote that Nelly replied with a “saluting emoji” and the quick message that he was “on it.”

Ashanti’s Personal Confession

Ashanti confirmed to ET that she has “zero symptoms” right now and that her pregnancy has been “amazing” so far. She admitted, “I’m still performing,” and Ashanti realizes how “happy” and “blessed” she is. But this is still real life, and Ashanti made a personal confession.

She admitted to ET that it’s hard to see her body changing so dramatically, especially with her “growing bump.” But Ashanti still can’t believe her dreams are coming true, and she admitted this to ET.

Ashanti confessed that she “always knew” she wanted to be a wife and mom, and while she “always had dreams” or “visions it was going to happen,” she “never in a million years” thought she’d be on this path towards marriage and motherhood with Nelly.

It sounds like Ashanti has a great role model in Tina, who she describes as “just the epitome of unconditional love.” She also calls Tina a “selfless person,” and Ashanti says that everyone in her life, including Nelly, “says the same things” about how “amazingly spectacular” her mom is.

Ashanti Shares The Kind Of Father Nelly Is 

Ashanti is equally grateful for Nelly’s extensive experience with kids. She told ET, “I think he’s going to be amazing, he’s so good with his kids.” Nelly and Ashanti have super-busy careers, and she noted how Nelly makes his business and personal life work.

Ashanti revealed that when Nelly has the “chance to spend time” with his kids, he always “makes it count.” Even though Nelly has had to “make sacrifices because of [his] career,” when he’s “together” with his family, Ashanti sweetly calls it “the best thing in the world to watch.”

Ashanti Can’t Wait To Watch ‘That Spirit Grow’

Fans and followers are excited about Nelly and Ashanti’s new arrival, but no one can beat Ashanti’s excitement and anticipation about this new chapter in her life.


She revealed to ET how “excited” she is to meet “this little human version of myself and [Nelly], the person that I love so much [to] be here.” Ashanti calls her unborn baby “an extension of both of us,” and she can’t wait to watch “that spirit grow.”

Jelly Roll Gets Emotional at the CMAs

Photo credit: Jelly Roll/Instagram

On June 11th, The U.S. Sun published a shocking report about Jelly Roll’s “emotional” performance at CMA Fest 2024.

The article included video clips of Jelly Roll on stage at Nissan Stadium, and you can see Jelly Roll crying as he makes a stunning personal confession.

‘Jelly Roll Really Had 50,000 Of Us Crying’

But Jelly Roll wasn’t the only one breaking down in tears. Fans posted TikTok videos, one of which included the caption, “Jelly Roll really had 50,000 of us crying” at CMA Fest this year.

It never gets old listening to Jelly Roll’s inspirational life story, and this year, he appeared to be reliving his painful past with thousands of devoted festival goers.

Jelly Roll got top billing as the headliner at CMA Fest on Saturday, June 8th. As he introduced his heartbreaking hit song, “Son of a Sinner,” Jelly Roll silenced the crowd and got all choked up from remembering where he’d once been.

Jelly Roll Said ‘… I Was In And Out Of Jail’

He said, “I was in that juvenile facility. I was in and out of jail.” Jelly Roll also confessed to being “in and out” of a dependence on life-threatening substances throughout his teens and early 20s. 

Jelly Roll seemed to be in complete disbelief when he compared his sad past to where he is now. The Sun reported that Jelly Roll “took his hat off, looked up and around at the audience… and started crying.” 

Jelly Roll told the crowd, “Tonight, I am headlining CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee.” The Sun wrote that Jelly Roll was “clearly overwhelmed with emotion,” and he even “covered his face” with his hat “while he sobbed.”

It’s not new for Jelly Roll to get emotional on stage. He’s admitted that he “cries almost every night” during his performances, and while that sounds depressing, it’s actually a celebration for Jelly Roll.

Im sorry to be all crying and stuff but this has been the wildest week of my life

Jelly Roll Encourages People To Make Positive Life Changes

The Sun described a “kinship” that Jelly Roll has developed with “young offenders” like he was and also people who are recovering from their dependence on substances. 

While Jelly Roll encourages people like him to make their own positive life changes, he’s also revealed what’s so “sad” about it.

He said, “There’s just not a lot of people that write the kind of songs I’m willing to write and talk about the topics I’m willing to talk about,” even though these major problems are so “common” in this world. 

Marshall Radio wrote about Jelly Roll “using his time and money for GOOD.” Their article also mentioned Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center. Jelly Roll certainly had that detention center on his mind during his headlining show at Nissan Stadium. 

Jelly Roll Shared Heartfelt, Emotional Message To Offenders 

From the time he was 13 years old, Jelly Roll spent years in and out of the Davidson County Juvenile facility. Shockingly, the juvenile is barely a two-minute walk from Nissan Stadium, and that short distance between two different parts of his life hit Jelly Roll hard.

On June 8th, he told the crowd that he knew the young offenders in Davidson County Detention Center could hear his concert from inside,  and Jelly Roll delivered an emotional message to them.

Jelly Roll’s voice broke as he said into his microphone, “I’m here to tell you that whatever you want to do in your life, you can do it.” He added, “I dedicate this song to all the people that live between right and wrong,” then Jelly Roll delivered a stunning performance of “Son of a Sinner.”

Jelly Roll ‘In Favor Of Passing Anti-Fentanyl Legislation’

Jelly Roll told the Guardian that he was first convicted and sent to juvenile detention after being “caught” with soft substances at age 13. Only two years later, Jelly Roll was on the streets selling far more dangerous substances, and he shockingly admitted to the Guardian that he’d “tried them all.” 

On January 12, 2024, The U.S. Sun reported on how far Jelly Roll has come from his teenage years in juvenile detention. The article even referred to him as “Judicial Jelly,” and the reason why might shock you.

The day before, Jelly Roll was in Washington, D.C., and he testified in front of a Senate Committee “in favor of passing anti-fentanyl legislation.”

A Senate Committee on “Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs” held a hearing on a bill called “Stopping the Flow of Fentanyl: Public Awareness and Legislative Solutions,” and Jelly Roll had a lot to say.

Jelly Roll Confessed To Once Being ‘A Part Of The Problem’

Shockingly, Jelly Roll began his speech by admitting he had once been “a part of the problem,” and he even threw shade at himself.

Jelly Roll told the Senate Committee, “I brought my community down. I hurt people.” He even revealed specifics of what he’d done wrong.

In his testimony, Jelly Roll described himself as “the uneducated man in the kitchen playing chemist” with dangerous substances he knew “absolutely nothing about.”

Jelly Roll knows that there are people out there right now who are making the same mistakes he did. They’re “mixing” dangerous substances and fatally harming “the people we love.”

Jelly Roll Wants To Be Part Of The Solution 

But Jelly Roll totally changed his life, and he made a stunning suggestion to the politicians when he said, “I am here now, standing as a man who wants to be a part of the solution.”

Although that sounds positive, Jelly Roll is still experiencing pain on his road to making changes, and he made another heartbreaking confession to the Senate Committee.

Jelly Roll revealed that he’s “attended more funerals than I care to share with y’all.” Later, he added, “I could sit here and cry for days about the caskets I’ve carried of people I love dearly, deeply in my soul.”

Jelly Roll’s Devastating Family Secret

Then Jelly Roll revealed a devastating family secret to the Senate Committee and everyone who’s listened to his testimony worldwide.

He confessed that “addiction is still rampant” in his family life, and Jelly Roll explained how this sad truth affects his daughter, Bailee Ann.

According to American Songwriter, Bailee Ann’s mom is Felicia Beckwith. Felicia gave birth to Bailee Ann when Jelly Roll was an adult in prison, and the shocking news that he had a child finally made Jelly Roll change his life for good.

Bailee Ann is now a teenager, and Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie XO, have taken primary custody of Bailee Ann because Felicia continues to battle with a dependence on substances.

Sadly, Jelly Roll confessed to the Senate Committee that he wakes up every day wondering “if today will be the day that I have to tell my daughter that her mother became a part of the national statistic.”

Jelly Roll Encourages Politicians To Take Action 

This sounds unbelievable, but the Sun reported that the future of the Senate Committee’s bill “remains uncertain” despite “growing concerns” over these life-threatening substances. But Jelly Roll isn’t giving up.

He closed his testimony by suggesting we “stand up and do more as fast as we possibly can.” Jelly Roll also encouraged the politicians to do something equally important.

He told them to “not only pass this bill” but also “bring it up where it matters at the kitchen table.” 

Jelly Roll’s Music Goal: To ‘Create A Project’ That Feels ‘Hopeful’

Jelly Roll talked about writing songs with purpose and meaning in an interview with American Songwriter.

He always looks to “create a project” that feels “hopeful.” Jelly Roll explained that the “worst feeling a person can have is feeling hopeless or worthless,” and he even has a name for his music.

Jelly Roll calls his music “therapeutic,” and he’s proud that his songs are “real music for real people with real problems.”

Jelly Roll Partnered With Non-Profit Organization

Marshall Radio talked about something else Jelly Roll did for real people close to his heart in Nashville. They also explained how Jelly Roll has “teamed up with a non-profit called ‘Beat for Life’” to help “vulnerable populations across the country.”

Jelly Roll worked with ‘Beat for Life’ to set up a recording studio in Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center. During an official ceremony, Jelly Roll made another speech.

He said he would never have dreamed as a teenager in jail about coming back “one day” to “introduce the studio,” and Jelly Roll also joked that he couldn’t believe the Mayor of Nashville was on hand to introduce him.

Jelly Roll explained how that studio would impact the kids inside. He said, “When I was in juvenile, we never got a visitor. We never had a mentor… nobody ever came to see us.”


After his speech, Marshall Radio reported that Jelly Roll “performed for the incarcerated kids,” and then, the kids “got to sit down with songwriters and write their own songs” and “showcase them to the whole room.”

Snooki and Husband Jionni Living Apart

The real-life relationship drama never seems to end for the stars of Jersey Shore, but this newest scandal is seriously twisted.

A recent report in The U.S. Sun claims that Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi and her husband, Jionni LaValle, are living apart. When you hear the real truth about Snooki’s marital problems, you’ll know why this story is even crazier than it sounds.

Snooki and Jionni’s Marriage Is ‘In Trouble After [The] Ashley Madison Doc’ 

The headline in the Sun’s exclusive report claims Snooki and Jionni are “never together” and their marriage is “in trouble after [the] Ashley Madison doc.” 

If you’re wondering who Ashley is, it’s not a person. Ashley Madison is an infamous website that helps “subscribers” arrange “extra-marital affairs.” What does this have to do with Snooki and Jionni’s decade-long marriage?

That’s where this scandal gets twisted, and it goes all the way back to 2015.

Nine years ago, the Ashley Madison website suffered a hack, and the fallout received international headlines. Many unfaithful “subscribers” got caught in the hack, and one alleged subscriber was connected to Snooki. 

Snooki and Jionni Allegedly ‘Have Regular Explosive Fights’

If you didn’t already know or guess, the alleged Ashley Madison subscriber was Jionni, and the Sun claimed that his email was found “among the alleged subscribers” who’d signed up to cheat on their spouses.

More recently, the Sun alleged that “multiple sources” have revealed that 36-year-old Snooki and 37-year-old Jionni are “rarely under the same roof these days.” When they do have to be in the same place, Snooki and Jionni allegedly “sleep in separate rooms.”

If these sources are telling the truth, Snooki and Jionni can’t even talk these days without yelling. The sources alleged that Snooki and her husband “have regular explosive fights” when they go face-to-face.

Another shocking claim made by the sources is that MTV cameras have “captured” Snooki’s “fallout” after her fights with Jionni. However, the drama never seems “to make the cut” on the current spinoff of Jersey Shore.

If MTV doesn’t want the world to know about Snooki’s allegedly broken marriage, another source alleged that Snooki complains to “everyone” around her about her unhappy ending.

Source Claims Snooki and Jionni Allegedly ‘Stay Apart A Lot Of The Time’ 

According to this source, Snooki and Jionni allegedly “stay apart a lot of the time.” So far, in 2024, the source claimed that Snooki “hadn’t seen Jionni in a while,” and “within the last several months,” Snooki said that her husband “had left the house.” 

This source also made an unbelievable claim that Snooki and “her more camera-shy husband” take turns living between “two houses they own in different parts of New Jersey.”

Even though Snooki makes her living as a Jersey Shore star, the source alleges that Jionni “often” stays in their house closer to the beach. Allegedly, Snooki stays “at their house further inland,” and the source revealed that this house is “about an hour north” of the property at the shore.

Source Throws Shade At Jionni LaValle

The source also threw shade at Jionni’s cold-sounding sleeping arrangement. They alleged that Snooki “will sleep in her bed with the kids” while her husband stays in “another bedroom,” and Jionni doesn’t “get into their bed” until Snooki “leaves.”

If this doesn’t sound bad enough, the source made a cringe-worthy allegation about “devastating, name-calling fights” between Snooki and Jionni. Sadly, the source claims that these fights often end with Snooki “in tears.”

Why Is MTV Withholding ‘Fallout’ Between Snooki and Jionni?

Reality TV viewers might not believe this “perplexed” source, who doesn’t know why MTV doesn’t show the “fallout” between Snooki and Jionni on air. 

The source claimed to know for sure that MTV had filmed Snooki’s reaction during fights she had with Jionni. But they said, “For some reason, those cuts never seem to see the light of day.” 

Snooki’s alleged marriage drama sounds juicy enough to shock reality TV viewers, so if MTV knows about this but isn’t revealing it, that just makes this scandal more twisted.

The Sun claimed to have another source “close to production,” and this source alleges that Snooki is totally “open about her marital woes” on the set of Jersey Shore.

According to this source, Snooki is “always” alleging that she “doesn’t have the best relationship with her husband,” and they added that Snooki “says it in front of everyone all the time, but it never airs.” 

Source Claims MTV Wants to ‘Protect’ Snooki From ‘Negative Storylines’

It sounds like the two sources have very similar stories, and they’re trying to set the record straight on Snooki’s allegedly failing marriage. However, one of these insiders also has a shocking theory about why MTV doesn’t want Jersey Shore fans to know. 

They told the Sun that MTV wants to “protect” Snooki from “negative storylines” on Jersey Shore simply because she’s a “fan favorite” with the largest social media following.

In yet another twisted side to this story, a headline in The U.S. Sun claimed that “Jersey Shore fans” had found a “new clue” that Snooki split up with Jionni. 

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Clapped Back at Trolls

This report was published on January 26, 2024, and shockingly, the Sun wrote that Snooki “clapped back at trolls who claimed she’s having marriage troubles with her husband.” If this is the real truth, what happened to that “venting Snooki,” who sources allege is “always complaining about her marriage?”

Jersey Shore fans thought they found that “clue” in the oddest place: Instagram photos of a first birthday party for Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s daughter, Mia Bella.

Mike shared the photos on social media, and one group photo with the Jersey Shore cast got the “trolls” jumping into the comments section. Someone wondered why Jionni is never “around,” and that comment got Snooki’s back up.

The Sun reported that Snooki “immediately defended” her husband, scolding the commenter with a reply that Jionni was “at home with my three kids. Let him be.”

However, the Sun wasn’t immediately rushing to Snooki’s defense. They wrote that “split rumors have long circulated between the pair as Jionni prefers to keep his life more private than his famous wife.”

How Snooki and Jionni Met 

Considering how they first met on a crazy episode of the OG Jersey Shore, it’s no wonder why Jionni is more interested in staying private these days.

The year was 2010, and an extremely intoxicated Snooki was filmed at the Karma nightclub for season three of Jersey Shore. She met Jionni that night, but as the Sun reported, Snooki wasn’t sober enough to remember her future husband’s name, and she called Jionni “Bernard” instead.

There are two sides to the ongoing split rumor, and one is the real truth. 

Why Did Jionni Quit Jersey Shore? 

In 2018, Jionni revealed that he wouldn’t appear in any more Jersey Shore spinoffs, including the most recent Jersey Shore: Family Vacation

This would indicate that Jionni wants to maintain his privacy, but at the same time, the Sun claimed that Jionni’s decision to quit Jersey Shore raised concerns “that he and Snooki were having marriage issues.”

Shockingly, Jionni took to Instagram to defend himself and his family, and his social media post sounded like his decision was final.

He wrote, “Hey guys, I’m going to visit this subject one time and one time only.” Then he explained how Snooki was “filming a scene packing up and leaving for her new show,” and Jionni wrote in all caps, “I AM CHOOSING TO NOT be on TV because I simply DO NOT like it.” 

Is Snooki Pregnant With Her Fourth Child?

Jionni also claimed that he and “Nicole” were “doing great” and that they “became even stronger together” as they raised their “beautiful kids.” 

And speaking of kids, the Sun reported another rumor in January 2024 that Snooki was “pregnant with her and Jionni’s fourth child.”

Jersey Shore fans noticed that Snooki appeared to be covering “her belly in loosely-fitted sweatshirts” when she posted photos with her daughter. The Sun added that Snooki was allegedly “cutting back on alcohol.” Still, she denied the pregnancy allegations at the beginning of the year, and there is no confirmation that Snooki is pregnant again in June 2024.

Snooki Defends Husband’s Cheating Allegations

When the Ashley Madison hack happened years ago, Snooki blasted the trolls on Instagram. She confirmed that her publicist warned her there would be a “story” going around that Jionni had “allegedly” become a subscriber, and Snooki claimed that she “laughed” about it.

Snooki added that “it couldn’t be any further from the truth,” and she described her husband as a “stand-up guy” who “loves his family more than anything.” But shockingly, Snooki didn’t claim that Jionni would never cheat.

She wrote, “Honestly, if he wanted to cheat,” that Jionni would just “go out and do it.” Snooki said that Jionni didn’t have to “sign up on a website and pay for it,” and despite years of rumors and allegations about their marriage, Snooki and Jionni have never officially called it quits.

The Warning Signs of Diddy’s Collapse

Photo credit: Diddy/Instagram

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ proximity to violence and brushes with the law go back decades. But, anyone can now see true signs of Diddy‘s empire crumbling … It’s going down, slowly but surely.

In December 1999, Combs and his then girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, along with rapper, Shyne, were involved in a shooting at Club New York. Shyne received a 10-year prison term. Combs, although charged with weapon violations, was acquitted.

Diddy’s Countless Legal Troubles

His legal troubles intensified in 2023 after Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him. They had been in a relationship for about a year back in 2003. The lawsuit was filed just before the statute of limitations on it expired under New York State’s Adult Survivors Act. Ventura made allegations of physical abuse, sex trafficking, sexual battery and other violations of New York’s gender-motivated violence law. It was settled the day after it was filed, on November 18th 2023 for an undisclosed sum.

Cassie’s lawsuit prompted other victims to come forward. Joi Dickerson-Neal, for example, alleged she had been drugged and assaulted in 1991 at Syracuse University. Another filing as Jane Doe on December 6th 2023, alleged Combs, Bad Boy president, Harve Pierre, and a third unidentified man, gang-raped her at a Manhattan recording studio in 2003. She had been 17 years old.

What Homeland Security Seized From Diddy’s Homes 

By March 25th 2024, Combs appeared on The Department of Homeland Security’s radar. Federal agents moved in to search his properties in LA and Miami. Combs’ lawyer, Aaron Dyer, described the raids as a ‘gross over-use of military-level force’. His outcry earned Combs no sympathy.

These federal raids were part of a wider investigation into allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault. The agents seized laptops, flash drives, and several other items that could have linked Combs to the allegations.

One of his associates, Brendan Paul, was arrested on charges of cocaine and marijuana possession. Paul pleaded not guilty initially, but later accepted a pretrial diversion program. On its completion, the drugs case against him would be dismissed.

Paul was already linked with allegations against Combs in a lawsuit filed by music producer, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, a few weeks earlier, in February 2024. Jones had alleged Combs and several other men, Combs’ son, Justin, among them, were involved in various illegal activities including assault.

Diddy Lost Multiple Brand Partnerships 

Then, in May 2024, disturbing surveillance footage of Combs’ assault on Cassie Ventura emerged clearly validating her claims about his violent behavior back in 2003. It also sparked fresh outrage and a slew of new allegations.

Several of Combs’ former associates were interviewed for a documentary, ‘The Downfall of Diddy’. Whilst exploring the allegations of violent behavior and sexual misconduct made against Combs in separate interviews, the ex-associates, Aubrey O’Day, Mark Curry, Stevie J and Suge Knight arrived at a common theme – there had been total silence from Combs’ closest allies.As allegations were mounting in November 2023, Combs stepped down as chairman of Revolt TV. By December, he had lost 18 of the brand partnerships from his Empower Global project that aimed to uplift Black-owned e-commerce companies. To add to his misery and downfall, Hulu TV announced they had canceled plans for a Combs and family reality show.
