Keefe D implicates Diddy in 2008 Police Interrogation for the Murder of 2Pac.

Keefe D, whose real name is Duane Keith Davis, was a member of the South Side Crips, a rival gang of Tupac and his label Death Row Records. In 2008, he confessed to the L.A. police that he was part of the shooting that killed Tupac, in exchange for immunity in a drug case. His confession was later revealed in a 2011 book by former detective Greg Kading, who worked on the case, and in a 2018 Netflix series based on the book.

According to Keefe D, his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, was the one who pulled the trigger from their car. He also said that he would have done it himself if Tupac was on his side of the car. He said they used a Glock .40 from a hidden compartment in the armrest. He said he never told anyone else this story before.

Keefe D also accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of ordering the hit on Tupac and Suge Knight, who were both rivals of Combs and his Bad Boy label. Combs denied this allegation and called it “pure fiction and completely ridiculous.” Keefe D said that Combs wanted to get rid of Tupac and Knight after Knight insulted him at the 1995 Source Awards and Tupac dissed him and the Notorious B.I.G. in “Hit ’Em Up.” Keefe D said he met with Combs at a deli and asked for $1 million to kill them both. He said he told Combs, “We’ll wipe their ass out quick, man. It’s nothing.” He said that after Tupac’s death, they never received the promised $500,000 from Combs.

Keefe D also mentioned that Combs used his brown 1964 Chevy in Usher’s “Can U Get Wit It” video. He said the car was damaged during the shoot and that Combs paid him $2,500 to repaint it. Vulture contacted Combs for his response to Keefe D’s claims but did not get a reply.

Immigration Struggle Ends as 21 Savage Obtains 'Lawful Permanent Resident' Status in the U.S.

21 Savage is finally free to travel abroad after resolving his immigration issues. The rapper announced on Instagram that he is now a "lawful permanent resident" of the U.S. and can visit his birthplace of London for the first time in 21 years. He teased his fans with a possible concert in the U.K., saying "London, I'm comin home" over the song "Coming Home" by Skylar Grey. Drake, who collaborated with 21 Savage on the It's All a Blur tour, commented "We're," implying that he might join him on stage.

21 Savage, whose real name is She'yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Atlanta in February 2019. They revealed that he was born in the U.K. and overstayed his visa after arriving in the U.S. as a teenager. He spent a week in an ICE detention center before being released on bond and allowed to stay in the country while his case was pending.

His immigration lawyer, Charles H. Kuck, said in a statement that 21 Savage followed "all applicable Immigration laws since his initial detention by ICE." He added that his immigration court proceedings have been terminated and he has the freedom to travel internationally.

21 Savage has been touring the U.S. with Drake, but was unable to perform outside the country, including in Canada. He has never performed internationally before, as he has not left the U.S. in 21 years.

He told the AP in a 2019 interview that he did not know what a visa was when his mother brought him to the U.S. at age 7. He also said that immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children should automatically become citizens, as the visa application process is too complicated and stressful.

Drake hinted at the end of 21 Savage's immigration troubles on the For All the Dogs track "8 AM in Charlotte," rapping "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

Budden Criticizes Drake’s Appeal to Younger Audience, Drake Responds

Drake has responded to Joe Budden’s critique of his album ‘For All the Dogs’ and his tendency to target younger audiences with his music.

On a recent Saturday, Drake had an extensive rebuttal for Budden, who had accused him of neglecting his older audience in favor of the younger generation. The renowned artist from Toronto fired back at Budden, labeling him as a “failure” and a “dropout.”

“You’ve failed in music,” Drake commented under a post from DJ Akademiks that included a video of Budden discussing Drake. “You abandoned it to do what you’re doing in this clip because this is what actually pays your bills. Any artist watching this should remember that they are watching a failure share their opinion on his concept of a success formula…a dropout share their opinion on how to achieve longevity…”

He added, “You changed careers because the ideas that came to your mind left you broke, living paycheck to paycheck, and the lyrics you wrote had 450 men attending your shows in worn-out Enyce jeans to grimace at Mood Muzik 29 and pretend you are the greatest.” Drake then offered advice to artists who are pursuing their passion regardless of public opinion. According to the 36-year-old, Budden is the epitome of frustration.

“Please, any artist that’s doing what they feel is right, don’t let these opinions affect your mindset afterward…this guy is the epitome of frustration and surrender,” he wrote. “You retired, and we never retired your jersey; we don’t even remember your number. We know you for doing this…you withdrew from rap not because you accomplished all you needed to; it’s because it wasn’t working for you.”

He continued, “I never want anyone in future generations to believe that the whole ‘everyone is entitled to their opinion’ is a real thing…this is a man projecting his own self-loathing and the fact I did and continue to do everything he wanted to do for himself. If you need it put in simpler terms, I own a 767…he owns a modest house in the 973 and flies first class on special occasions.”

Budden noticed Drake’s comments and replied: “You’ll mature sooner or later… Time is undefeated.”

Ebro Darden also contributed with a tweet explaining how Budden didn’t fail at music and how Drake found a system that worked for him.

“Joe Budden didn’t fail at music. He can still make music,” Ebro tweeted. “It seems Joe Budden chose not to play the ‘music business game’ and continually chase charts and do anything to stay relevant in music. Drake is choosing to keep playing to the same recipe that has given him success.” Joe Budden had much to say about Drake’s new album For All The Dogs. In the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the former rapper criticized Drake for making music for “the children” and completely ignoring his older fan base.

“[Drake is] rapping for the children,” Budden said around the 1:09:47 mark. “I had to look up how old this guy was when I finished listening to the album … You’re going to be 37 years old. Stay away from some of these younger guys, and stop dating these 25-year-olds. … Why are you still dating the 25-year-olds? You’re a 37-year-old billionaire.” He continued by comparing Drake’s career path to J. Cole’s, “Cole used to rap about kid stuff … And then he started to mature. And then the rapping sounded like an adult rapping. I want to hear adult Drake rapping for adult people. That’s my issue with him today.”

Budden also mentioned several of Drake’s younger friends such as Lil Yachty and Kai Cenat.

Kanye West’s ‘YEWS’ Trademark: A Business Move or a Controversial Statement?

Kanye West, the renowned rapper and fashion entrepreneur, has recently become a topic of discussion for two distinct reasons: his latest business endeavor and his contentious remarks about the Jewish community.

West, who has adopted the moniker Ye, has reportedly registered 26 new trademarks for the term “YEWS” under an LLC named Ox Paha Inc. The address for Ox Paha Inc. is listed at Kanye’s office on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles. The “YEWS” trademark is projected to be utilized across a broad spectrum of goods and services, encompassing everything from apparel and footwear to financial services and entertainment content. The precise intention behind the “YEWS” trademark, however, remains a mystery.

In parallel, West has been subjected to criticism following a series of interviews and social media posts that have been interpreted as antisemitic.

The speculation surrounding the “YEWS” trademark brings these two threads together. Given West’s recent controversy, some social media users are speculating that “YEWS” could be a reference to “Jews”. West has yet to publicly comment on the use of the term “YEWS”.

Drake's Latest Album Sparks Controversy Over Rumored Rihanna Diss Track

In the ever-dynamic world of hip-hop, lyrical content has often been a source of intrigue and speculation. Recently, fans of the genre have been buzzing with talk of Drake's latest album, raising eyebrows at lines that appear to reference his past relationship with Rihanna in a less-than-flattering light. While interpretations of lyrics can be subjective, some fans believe that Drake's words carry undertones of bitterness and resentment towards the global superstar.

One of the notable tracks that have stirred the controversy is "Fear of Heights," where Drake delivers lines that some listeners believe are aimed at Rihanna. He raps, "I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti 'cause I had it with you." The key phrase here is "I’m anti," which has sparked speculation among fans. Some assert that this might be a sly reference to Rihanna's 2016 album, "Anti," and her song "Sex With Me." Notably, 2016 is the same year when the two briefly dated, adding fuel to the fire of interpretation.

The lyrical controversy doesn't end there. Drake goes on to claim that he has "way badder bitches" than Rihanna and seemingly takes a dig at her current partner, ASAP Rocky, suggesting that he is "stuck" with her and can't break free. On the track "Another Late Night," Drake further deepens the mystery, referring to himself as "pretty flacko," which happens to be ASAP Rocky's nickname, and questioning, "this shit get really rocky?"

These lyrics have left fans divided and have given rise to a flurry of debates on social media. Some listeners argue that Drake's words reveal lingering bitterness and resentment towards Rihanna, particularly regarding her new family with ASAP Rocky, with whom she shares two children. They accuse Drake of being immature and disrespectful towards his former flame, who has clearly moved on with her life.

Keefe D's Arraignment Postponed Due to Lawyer's Absence in the 2Pac Murder Case

Last week marked a significant development in the long-dormant murder case of 2Pac as Keefe D, a suspect in the crime, was apprehended. Unfortunately, when the first court day arrived on October 4th, Keefe D's legal counsel was conspicuously absent.

On this Wednesday, the individual known as Duane Davis, whose real name matches the suspect's identity, was slated to make his initial court appearance. This was meant to provide him with an opportunity to respond to the murder charge, which involves the use of a deadly weapon and is linked to the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur.

Regrettably, the lawyer representing the defendant failed to show up for the proceedings. Consequently, Keefe D requested a two-week postponement from the judge, resulting in the delay of his arraignment. Davis was taken into police custody on the morning of September 29th, marking the very first arrest in the 27-year-old unsolved investigation into Tupac's murder.

Co-Defendant in YNW Melly Double Murder Case Faces Witness Tampering Charge

Cortlen “YNW Bortlen” Henry, the co-defendant of rapper YNW Melly in a double murder case, was arrested on a new charge of witness tampering on October 2, 2023. According to court documents, he allegedly tampered with at least one potential witness in the case, which involves the killing of two of their childhood friends and fellow YNW members, Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams and Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas Jr., in 2018 .
Henry was out on bail before his residence was raided by the police. He is accused of helping YNW Melly stage the crime scene to look like a drive-by shooting after they allegedly shot and killed Williams and Thomas in a car . Both Henry and YNW Melly were charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of accessory after the fact. They pleaded not guilty and have been in jail since their arrest in February 2019.
Their first trial began in June 2023, but it ended in a mistrial after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict. Nine jurors voted to acquit them and three voted to convict them . Their second trial is scheduled to start on October 9, 2023.
Witness tampering is a serious offense that can carry a prison sentence of up to 15 years in Florida. It is not clear how this new charge will affect the upcoming retrial of YNW Melly and YNW Bortlen. YNW Melly is a popular rapper who has collaborated with artists like Kanye West and Juice WRLD. His song “Murder on My Mind” became a hit after his arrest and has been certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Krayzie Bone Survives Near-Death Experience Due to Sarcoidosis

Rapper Krayzie Bone, a member of the legendary hip hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, has revealed that he was hospitalized for nine days in a critical condition due to a rare autoimmune disease. The 50-year-old musician shared a post on Instagram on Monday, thanking his fans for their prayers and support.

"Just fought for life 'Literally' for 9 days straight. And I only won the battle this time because I know Jehovah God was with every step of the way fighting for me," he wrote. "Never take life for granted enjoy it while have you have it! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers trust me I needed every last on of them -KR"

According to various reports¹²³, Krayzie Bone suffers from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease that causes the immune system to overreact and form clusters of inflamed tissue called granulomas in one or more organs of the body. The rapper reportedly checked into a Los Angeles-area hospital on Friday, Sept. 24, after he started coughing up large amounts of blood. A CAT scan found that an artery in one of his lungs was leaking, and he underwent emergency surgery to stop the bleeding. However, the surgery was unsuccessful, and he was put on a ventilator and sedated in the intensive care unit on Sunday.

Krayzie Bone's condition was described as "life-threatening" by sources close to him, and many of his friends and fellow artists expressed their concern and well-wishes on social media. LeBron James, who is also from Ohio, tweeted: "Prayers to Krayzie man!!!!" DJ Paul, who collaborated with Krayzie Bone on several projects, wrote on Instagram: "Please pray for my brother Kray. We was just in the lab Wednesday recording, having fun, drinking his new IPA. This is unbelievable."

Krayzie Bone is one of the founding members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, along with Bizzy Bone, Flesh-N-Bone, Wish Bone and Layzie Bone. The group formed in 1991 in Cleveland, Ohio, and rose to fame with their fast-paced rapping style and harmonized vocals. They have sold over 50 million records worldwide and won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for their hit song "Tha Crossroads" in 1996.

Sarcoidosis is a rare disease that affects about 150,000-200,000 people in the United States every year⁴. It can affect any organ, but most commonly affects the lungs and lymph nodes. The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown, and there is no cure for it. However, some people may recover without treatment, while others may need medication or surgery to manage their symptoms.

Krayzie Bone's fans are relieved to hear that he is alive and recovering from his ordeal. They are hoping that he will be able to resume his music career soon and continue to inspire them with his talent and faith.

Sexxy Red Says She “Loves Trump” And Thinks “We Need Him Back”

In a recent episode of Theo Von’s podcast, rapper Sexxy Red candidly shared her thoughts on former President Donald Trump. The conversation revealed an unexpected perspective from the hip-hop community, which has traditionally been critical of Trump.

Sexxy Red began by acknowledging that Trump’s initial reception in the “hood” was not positive. Many perceived him as racist and against women. However, she noted a shift in perception once Trump started implementing policies that directly benefited the African American community, such as prison reform and economic stimulus checks.

“Once he started getting black people out of jail and giving people that free money, oh baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office,” Sexxy Red stated. She further emphasized the impact of the stimulus checks, saying, “Baby, them checks… oh yes, them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.”

Sexxy Red’s own fondness for Trump seems to stem not just from his policies but also his personality. She described him as funny and recalled watching his public appearances with amusement. “He used to be calling people fat… he’s funny. We need people like him,” she said.

Suge Knight Refuses To Testify Against "Keefe D" For The Murder Of Tupac

Suge Knight, the founder of Death Row Records and an eyewitness to the infamous 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, recently expressed his disbelief in an exclusive interview with TMZ. Despite being in the same BMW as Tupac on the fateful night of the shooting in Las Vegas, Knight made it clear that he would neither malign Duane Keith “Keffe D” Davis, the recently arrested suspect in the case, nor disclose who fired the shots. He also challenged the widely accepted belief that Orlando Anderson, Davis’s deceased nephew, was the shooter.

Knight is currently serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter. Despite his close connection to the case and his presence at the crime scene, he emphasized his lack of intent to implicate anyone and his refusal to be a witness in Davis’s trial. This stance adds another layer of complexity to a case that has remained unsolved for over two decades.

In a surprising turn of events, Davis was recently apprehended and indicted with one count of murder involving a deadly weapon. This unexpected development left many, including Knight, in disbelief. As this saga continues to unfold, it serves as a stark reminder of the enduring mystery surrounding Tupac’s murder and the intricate web of narratives that continue to challenge investigators.

Blueface Avoids Prison Time For Las Vegas Shooting Incident

Rapper Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Porter, has been sentenced to a suspended sentence of 24 to 60 months in prison for his involvement in a shooting incident outside a Las Vegas strip club in October 2022. The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to lesser charges of battery and discharging a firearm at or into an occupied structure in July 2023, avoiding the more serious charge of attempted murder.

The shooting occurred on the night of October 8, 2022, when Blueface and his crew were at the Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas. According to the police report, the alleged victim approached them and made a joke about Blueface talking to “some females in a cheap vehicle”. This provoked a physical altercation between the two parties, which spilled out into the parking lot.

The victim escaped the fight in his pick-up truck and drove through the parking lot, asking who jumped him. Blueface’s crew thought he was “going for a gun” and Blueface fired shots at the vehicle. The victim was grazed by a bullet on his left hand and his truck had multiple bullet holes. Video footage shows Blueface with a gun in his hand, shooting at the truck as it drove away.

Blueface was arrested on November 16, 2022, by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. He was taken into custody as he was entering the Regional Justice Center for a court appearance related to the shooting case. He was later released on bail and pleaded guilty to the reduced charges in July 2023.

On October 2, 2023, he was sentenced to a suspended sentence of 24 to 60 months in prison, meaning that he will not have to serve any jail time unless he violates the terms of his probation. He will also have to pay restitution to the victim, who suffered from nerve damage and loss of sensation in his hand.

Blueface is best known for his hit songs “Thotiana” and “Bleed It”. He has been involved in several legal troubles in the past, including being arrested for possession of a loaded firearm in Los Angeles in February 2019 and being charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon in Los Angeles in November 2019. He is currently working on his debut album, which is expected to be released later this year.

Man Arrested in Connection to Killing Tupac After 27 Years

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a self-described “gangster” who was in the car where the shots came from on the night of Tupac’s murder, was arrested early Friday morning in Nevada . A case is being presented to a grand jury in Las Vegas, according to a source close to the investigation. The exact charge or charges against Davis were not immediately clear .

Davis has admitted in interviews and in his 2019 memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” that he was in the car with the shooter, but he has never named the person who pulled the trigger . He claimed he was offered $1.5 million by Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight to kill Tupac and his manager, but he refused. He also said he knows who killed Tupac’s rival, The Notorious B.I.G., six months later in Los Angeles.
Tupac’s killing has been one of the most infamous unsolved cases in hip-hop history, sparking numerous conspiracy theories and speculation about who was behind it. His fans and family have been waiting for justice for 27 years.

Lizzo Fights Lawsuit Amid “Ridiculous” Harassment Allegations

Music icon Lizzo is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit filed against her by three former dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, who accuse her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Lizzo’s legal team has responded firmly, denying all allegations and requesting the lawsuit’s dismissal “with prejudice”. They argue that the plaintiffs are not entitled to any damages due to their own inappropriate behavior.

A spokesperson for Lizzo’s legal camp stated, “Any and all claims to the contrary are ridiculous, and we look forward to proving so in a court of law.”

The plaintiffs’ attorney, Neama Rahmani, has welcomed Lizzo’s agreement to a jury trial. The lawsuit alleges that Lizzo and her dance team captain, Shirlene Quigley, engaged in weight shaming and pressured the dancers into sexual advances at an Amsterdam strip club.

Lizzo has denied these allegations on social media, stating that the claims are exaggerated and come from former employees who have admitted to unprofessional behavior. Photos shared by Lizzo’s attorney, Marty Singer, suggest that the dancers willingly socialized with performers backstage after a topless cabaret show.

In addition to this case, another lawsuit has been filed by fashion designer Asha Daniels against Lizzo, her production company, tour manager, and wardrobe manager, Amanda Nomura. Daniels accuses Nomura of perpetuating stereotypical portrayals of Black women and using derogatory terms.

Despite these legal challenges, Lizzo was recently honored with the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award by the Black Music Action Coalition for her philanthropic contributions and commitment to social justice.
