Diddy starts prison life washing laundry at Fort Dix
Diddy has begun his sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, marking a new chapter in his life behind bars. A recent photo shared by TMZ shows the rapper on the prison yard, wearing a beanie and jacket, with a full gray beard that contrasts sharply with his former jet-black facial hair. This is the first photo of Diddy since his September 2024 arrest. The Bad Boy Records founder has also started his first prison job in the laundry room, where he is responsible for washing and drying clothes for other inmates. Sources close to the situation noted the task might be challenging for the once-wealthy businessman, who was known for relying on personal assistants to handle everyday tasks like charging his phone and getting water during his...
CBS News exec allegedly fires all people of color
Former associate producer Trey Sherman said he was laid off from CBS News on Thursday, and he believes the process was not random. In a viral TikTok video, Sherman claimed that every person of color on his team was laid off, while all white employees were allowed to stay and relocate within the company. Sherman said that during his layoff meeting, he asked if relocation was an option, and the executive responded that efforts to secure a transfer for him were unsuccessful. However, after further investigation, Sherman found that his white colleagues had not been laid off and were being relocated. He confronted the executive, who allegedly admitted to making the decisions on who stayed, citing a preference for those he had worked with...
Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter is sidelined with a knee injury
The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Friday that rookie wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter will be placed on injured reserve after suffering a non-contact knee injury during practice. Head coach Liam Coen said the team is still assessing Hunter’s injury to determine the best course of action for both him and the team. Hunter, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has been playing as a two-way player since Week 1. In seven games this season, he recorded 28 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown on offense, along with 15 tackles and three passes defended on defense. Coen described the injury as a setback but expressed confidence in Hunter’s ability to recover. “It’s definitely not ideal timing, but I have a lot of...
DOJ probes Black Lives Matter over donor fraud claims
The U.S. Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation and related groups, focusing on whether they defrauded donors who gave tens of millions of dollars during the 2020 racial justice protests. Federal agents have reportedly issued subpoenas and executed at least one search warrant in connection with the probe, though no charges have been filed yet. The foundation, which raised over $90 million after George Floyd's death, faced concerns over its financial transparency, especially after news emerged in 2022 of a $6 million property purchase in California. The investigation began during the Biden administration but has received renewed attention under the Trump-led...
Texas court lets judges reject same-sex marriages
The Texas Supreme Court has approved a controversial change that allows judges to refuse to perform same-sex wedding ceremonies if it conflicts with their religious beliefs. The court amended the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct, stating that judges are not in violation of the rules if they choose not to officiate weddings based on their "sincerely held religious beliefs." Although the language doesn’t explicitly mention same-sex couples, the move is expected to impact LGBTQ+ Texans, potentially leading to rejections by certain judges. This decision follows a long-standing debate over judges who refused to marry same-sex couples after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in 2015. Some judges, like Dianne Hensley in 2019...
Former Turkey Leg Hut owner faces more gun charges
Lyndell “Lynn” Price, the former co-founder of Houston's Turkey Leg Hut, has been indicted on three new federal charges related to firearms. The charges include one count of possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking and two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm. The indictment, handed down by a federal grand jury, accuses Price of having firearms between 2019 and 2022 while allegedly selling marijuana. However, no drug trafficking charges have been filed. The new charges also state that in 2022 and 2023, Price had possession of shotguns, including one modified with a flamethrower attachment. A previous conviction for federal tax fraud bars Price from owning firearms. In addition to the new gun-related...
Trump’s leadership drives ticket sales to record lows at Kennedy Center
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, once a cultural gem of Washington, D.C., has seen a significant decline in attendance since Donald Trump took over its leadership earlier this year. New reports reveal that ticket sales have hit record lows, with roughly 43 percent of seats unsold this fall across the center’s major theaters. This is a sharp contrast to the previous year, when only 7 percent of seats were empty. Critics point to Trump’s leadership changes, which included the departure of longtime board members and donors, as a key factor in the decline. They argue that the center has lost its creative direction, focusing more on politics than performance. Despite promises to bring in “blockbuster hits” and appeal to...
Diddy's attorney hints at early prison release for mogul
Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, hinted that the music mogul might be released from prison earlier than his current release date of May 8, 2028. In a recent conversation with TMZ, Agnifilo suggested that while it’s unclear exactly when, Diddy’s release could come sooner depending on various factors. Diddy was transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, a low-security facility known for its Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), early Thursday. Agnifilo believes the mogul will thrive there, stating that he is confident Diddy will be a model prisoner and will be released as soon as the system permits. Although Diddy has not publicly commented since his transfer, his legal team previously explored the possibility of seeking a presidential...
Offset aims Cardi B again on new album track
Offset seems to be taking another jab at Cardi B on his new project, Haunted By Fame, which dropped unexpectedly on Halloween. The Migos rapper and Cardi B, who ended their seven-year marriage in mid-2024 with Cardi filing for divorce, have had a public and contentious split. The two exchanged insults earlier this year, criticizing each other over various personal issues, including their relationship and parenting. On his track "No Sweat," Offset appears to address these conflicts, referring to a situation where Cardi left one partner for another and implying that she’s not truly happy. He also allegedly targets her pregnancy, suggesting she needs help for her behavior. Along with the release of new music, Offset is facing financial...
