King Combs has shared a diss track aimed at 50 Cent in which he addresses the backlash his father, Diddy, is facing amid several ongoing alleged sexual misconduct lawsuits. Combs also speaks on the Homeland Security raids conducted on Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami properties. Akademiks played the song during his live stream on Sunday night.
“I dare one of you n****s scream out ‘no diddy’” Combs raps on the song, referencing the viral meme relating to his father's allegations. Later, he adds: "Police raid the crib like they think we selling crack, but we out here selling tracks / multimillion dollar plaques." From there, he brings up 50 Cent, who has since responded to the track on Instagram.
As for that response, 50 captioned a photo of Combs and Diddy. He wrote: "I feel so threatened by the things Christian is saying on his record. I’m afraid for my life, please don’t hurt me guys. I never mentioned or posted anything about puffy’s kids because KEEFE D said he killed 2Pac. [shrugging emoji]. LOL." Check out the diss as well as 50's response below.
Federal agents raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami back in March as part of an ongoing investigation. He has yet to be charged with any crimes and maintains his innocence. Additionally, several alleged victims have come forward with lawsuits detailing accusations of abuse regarding Diddy in recent months; however, he's also denied all of those claims. Regardless, 50 Cent has spent the last several months incessantly trolling Diddy over the situation. Be on the lookout for further updates on King Combs and 50 Cent on HotNewHipHop.

K-pop girl group NewJeans have dropped the second part of their ‘Supernatural’ music video.
Last month, NewJeans made their official Japanese debut with their single album ‘Supernatural’. The group have now dropped a second music video for the title track, this time featuring a Korean-language version of the single.
The new visual continues the TV series concept of original music video, this time with the members investigating the strange weather phenomena from the first clip. The story culminates with the girl group discovering a colony of rabbit-like aliens on a neighbouring planet.
“I don’t know what we’ve done / I don’t want to go back / I already know / Don’t know what we’ve been sold / I’ll find out, so it’s sure,” they sing on the chorus.
Last weekend, NewJeans held their two-night ‘Bunnies Camp’ fan concert in Tokyo Dome, becoming the fastest K-pop group to perform at the iconic venue after debuting. The concert was held less than a week after they dropped ‘Supernatural’.
The show featured special performances with Japanese pop duo YOASOBI and Japanese-English singer Rina Sawayama. The latter also teamed up with NewJeans member Hyein to perform her 2020 song ‘Bad Friend’ at the concert.
NewJeans’ Japanese debut came just a month after they made a domestic comeback with their single album ‘How Sweet’. The project included the lead single ‘How Sweet’ and ‘Bubblegum’ as well as their instrumental versions.
In a three-star review of ‘How Sweet’, NME’s Tássia Assis wrote that the two-song release would be “adequate additions to any of their previous releases”, but “lacks the effervescent impact” of their past singles.
In other K-pop news, (G)I-DLE have ropped a music video teaser for ’Klaxon’, the lead single of their upcoming mini-album ‘I Sway’. It will be their second release of 2024, arriving six months after their second studio album ‘[2]’ in January.
