50 Cent took aim at Diddy in a vicious post on Instagram, Monday afternoon, following the start of the Bad Boy mogul's criminal trial in New York City. In doing so, he referenced the prosecution's allegations that Diddy hired a male escort to pee into Cassie's mouth. He shared a photo of the Manneken Pis statue in Brussels, Belgium. "Diddy said in ya mouth! SMH LOL," he captioned the picture.
During the prosecution's opening statements, attorney Emily A. Johnson spoke about why Cassie agreed to participate in a freak-offs. She explained that the singer loved Diddy even though she "knew it was not something she wanted to do.” Johnson added that Cassie “felt like she was choking” when Diddy allegedly “made an escort urinate into her mouth," as caught by The New York Times.
Diddy's criminal trial will be continuing on Tuesday. The case left off in the process of witness testimony. The first person to take the stand was Israel Florez, a Los Angeles police officer who worked as a security guard at the InterContinental Hotel in 2016. He provided context to the infamous security camera footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie that CNN surfaced, last year.
Florez explained that he received a call about a “woman in distress on the sixth floor” of the hotel and went to check it out. When he arrived, he allegedly saw Diddy sitting in a towel with “a devilish stare" while Cassie lay covered in a hoodie. He offered new pictures of the aftermath of the scene as well as a cell phone video he personally recorded. He said he decided against calling the police as Cassie refused to answer any of his questions and just wanted to leave.
Monday ended in the middle of the second witness' testimony. That was Daniel Phillip, who alleges Diddy paid him to have sex with Cassie while he masturbated.
Zayn Malik said he truly enjoyed returning to a “pop” sound for his collaboration with BLACKPINK member Jisoo on their track “Eyes Closed.”
The former One Direction singer recently joined her on the ballad and called it a major “honour” to work with someone he considers one of the leading voices “owning that genre” right now.
Speaking while hosting a special hour on BBC Radio 1, he said, “I have drifted away from the pop sound for a bit, so coming back to it with the people who are basically owning that genre at the minute was an honour.”
He added, “If I can say thanks to Jisoo, I am really happy with the way it turned out.”
Zayn also shared that his “cool collaborator” helped him score some serious dad points with his five year old daughter Khai, whom he shares with his former partner, Gigi Hadid.
He wrote on Instagram while posting promo photos from the release, “@sooyaaa__ Jisoo.. you’re an absolute legend, loved every part of this collaboration, thank you for making me the coolest dad around.”
Jisoo replied, “You already are.”
Although he stepped back into pop for “Eyes Closed,” Zayn recently revealed that his next album incorporates influences from Indian music.
The “Pillowtalk” singer confirmed that his fifth studio album will arrive next year and hinted that it will carry a similar spirit to his chart topping 2016 solo debut Mind of Mine.
Zayn was quoted by The Sun’s Bizarre column during a livestream saying, “The next album is soon.”
“I have been working on some cool s*** in South Asian music and bringing those influences into my music as well.”
“It is like pop, R+B, and a lot of Indian influences. The record is like a continuation of Mind of Mine in that sense. I might have some songs coming out in Urdu, too.”
