Disparaging news about Diddy has come on a seemingly weekly basis throughout 2024. Earlier this month, CNN leaked a video of what appeared to be the rap mogul assaulting Cassie captured on hotel security camera footage. The video is in line with allegations that she made in a lawsuit filed against him last year. That lawsuit served as the first of numerous similar suits filed against him in the months that followed which painted a picture of decades of bad behavior.
Earlier this week Rolling Stone published a damning article revealing stories of Diddy's alleged behavior in even more detail. They spoke to dozens of former employees and collaborators with very few coming to his defense. One particularly evocative story they shared involved the rap mogul taking revenge out on the man dating his ex Kim Porter. That was record executive Shakir Stewart. Stewart reportedly had a chair broken over his head by Diddy, something corroborated by close friends and even Stewart's mother in the story. Check out the full story Rolling Stone shared about the rap mogul below.
Another story told in Rolling Stone's story dealt with The Notorious B.I.G. He's still one of the most commonly associated artists with Diddy's label but if not for his untimely death, that could have changed. The report claims he was in the process of separating from his label at the time of his death. That's led many fans to reconsider how the legendary rapper's legacy was handled following his passing. The rapper's mother also recently claimed she wanted to slap the rap mogul for what he allegedly did to Cassie in a statement made earlier this week.
What do you think of the story of Diddy breaking a chair over the hear of Shakir Stewart over his relationship with Kim Porter? Do you believe the story is true an that Stewart was actually left bloody after the encounter? Let us know in the comment section below.
KATSEYE have officially begun a fresh chapter with the announcement of their forthcoming single, Pinky Up.
The K-pop girl group sparked curiosity online after sharing a string of mysterious posts that quickly had fans trying to piece together the clues.
The first teaser, posted on March 30, featured the Mona Lisa gently raising a hot cup of tea with her pinky finger lifted. The next video, uploaded the next day, showed an arcade claw machine labeled with the group’s name pulling a sword from a mix of sparkling plush toys and a single teacup. Making things even more intriguing, the caption stated: “We’re screaming from cloud nine!!”
Their third update finally revealed the song title along with its cover art. The image showed a figure kneeling on a rug next to a teacup and a toy cat, while the title appeared in bright hot pink text across the visual. The group also confirmed the release date as April 9.
Pinky Up will arrive just one day before KATSEYE appear at Coachella on April 10, which will mark their first time performing at the famous festival.
The single also marks their first comeback since HYBE and Geffen confirmed that member Manon Bannerman would be stepping away for a period of time to prioritize her “health and well being.”
In a message posted on Weverse, they shared: "Hello. After open and thoughtful conversations together, we are sharing that Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing."
The group expressed that they “fully support this decision,” and added: “KATSEYE remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us. We look forward to being together again when the time is right.”
While she is away, the group will continue promotions with Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza and Yoonchae Jeung.
They closed their message by saying: “Thank you to our EYEKONS for your continued love, patience, and understanding.”
