The complaint alleges Diddy subjected Nash to repeated sexual battery, threats and violence between 2008 and 2018, including an incident at a 2017 Bad Boy Reunion Tour party where Diddy allegedly grabbed Nash’s buttocks and told him, “You need to be out there slangin’ that dick baby.” Nash, who testified earlier this year…
Donald Trump is threatening to sue ABC after Jimmy Kimmel returned to late-night television Tuesday (September 23), just days after a suspension over controversial remarks about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s murder. Trump took to Truth Social to vent after Kimmel resumed hosting duties on Jimmy Kimmel Live! following a week-long hiatus. “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back,” Trump wrote. “The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there.” The former president didn’t stop there.…
Attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are asking a federal judge to sentence the music mogul to 14 months, effectively equal to the time he has already served, following his July 2 conviction for transportation for the purposes of prostitution. Combs, 55, was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering but has remained in custody for over a year at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. In a 380-page sentencing memo filed Monday, his legal team argued that no punishment beyond time served would be fair or just. “Mr. Combs’s near-13 months in prison has been life-changing, productive, and…

Universal Music Group (UMG) scored a major legal victory this week after a federal judge dismissed a copyright infringement lawsuit tied to Mary J. Blige’s 1992 classic “Real Love.” On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Dale Ho ruled that Blige’s breakout hit was not “substantially similar” to the Honey Drippers’ 1973 track “Impeach the President,” the song at the center of Tuff City Records’ claim. Judge Ho noted that “the songs do not sound the same; a lay listener would not recognize ‘Real Love’ as having been appropriated from ‘Impeach the President.’” Blige herself was not named in the lawsuit, which…
