Judge Analisa Torres granted a request on Thursday (January 2) from the rap legend and his legal team to be able to file a dismissal motion for the bombshell lawsuit, which accuses Hov of raping a 13-year-old girl alongside Diddy 25 years ago.

Young Thug and Future‘s follow-up to their 2017 collab album Super Slimey looks like it’s on the way – if a post from producer Wheezy is any indication.
Earlier this week, Wheezy shared a photo from the studio on his Instagram Story that showed fellow producer ATL Jacob working on the piano with a neon sign behind him that reads Super Slimey 2.
It doesn’t seem like it could get any more obvious than a full sign dedicated to the project, but nothing has been confirmed just yet.
The pair first announced a sequel back in 2019 in a post to the official YSL page,......

Snoop Dogg has something to say about the response to his new album Missionary – mainly the critics who initially voiced negative opinions.
Taking to Instagram with a video on Thursday (December 19), Snoop thanked his fans for the support and shared his thoughts on everyone else.
“First of all, thank y’all for the support for Missionary,” he began. “Long time coming. Love the reception, but let me say this. I’ve been watching podcasts and people doing reviews – a couple of them specifically where they started off saying, ‘I wasn’t into this album, I don’t like......

Diddy‘s legal troubles continue, as he now faces two more lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault — one which places the alleged attack on the day of a tragic and fatal incident at a 1991 charity basketball game, and another 15 years later at a party thrown by the mogul.
The suits were both filed Friday (December 20) in federal court in New York. The one tied to the 1991 event was by a Jane Doe, who is represented by Tony Buzbee — the attorney who has made headlines recently for adding JAY-Z to a different suit against Diddy.
In the new complaint, the......

Mannie Fresh doesn’t have as much interest in working with newer artists as he does more seasoned ones – and it comes down to what he says is a difference in expectations.
Chopping it up with B High ATL alongside Turk and Juvenile in an interview published on Monday (December 2), the seasoned producer was asked why he hasn’t collaborated with many young artists.
“There’s a disconnect,” he explained. “I’m not saying all young artists, but a lot of young artists can’t take direction. And the way we work is: I’m......
