Homeland Security Did Diddy Things To P-Diddy


Wow, it looks like time is running out on entertainer and businessman Sean "P-diddy" Combs. On Monday March 26th, 2024, Homeland Security raided or infiltrated two of his homes across the United States. At the time of this article, P-Diddy's whereabouts are currently unknown. However, it is understood that his private jet was tracked online to the Caribbean Island of Antigua.

Shortly after his properties were raided TMZ reported that Diddy was spotted pacing outside of Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Some people are saying that he was uncomfortably waiting for a few more people to join him at the airport. At the time of that sighting, two of his children/sons can be seen via the mass-media outside of their Los Angeles home in handcuffs. 

It's also reported that the Federal Police/Homeland Security showed up in a powerful and intimidating way. They could be seen riding the waves coming in across the Florida waters with guns in arms. Some said that the same could be said regarding how they showed up marching down the streets of LA. As of today, many are saying that Diddy has fled the country in an attempt to gather his thoughts and to secure his safety and freedom.

Commentary:

I've been covering the music industry for a long time. I have witnessed a lot of wild and crazy things. I've seen artists sentenced to jail, rape charges, murders and just about anything imaginable. We've seen Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson on trial, Eazy E passing away via AIDs to see Bill Cosby being locked up and freed. At this point I thought the R. Kelly thing was "crazy". But this P-Diddy thing seems to be getting worse and worse.

Many have said that Diddy should've not paid Cassey anything, thus blaming that payoff for ultimately opening up the floodgates for more accusers to come with more "sexual misconduct" and other allegations. What I find interesting, is that there's another thing that we should be focusing on as well. In-short, when it comes to entertainers and professional athletes, some behaviors and so-called traditional "groupie benefits" should have already been considered over. The days of super stars enjoying some of the "quote-unquote" special benefits while on the road, abroad or even at home is now a luxury that no-one can afford.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm aware and BELIEVE that people are raped, sex trafficked and even worst. However, we are living during some crazy times. During these times we can easily see what IG models was once just have now become independent sex workers hitting men up for private (one on one) sex-shows.

Most of these women don't consider themselves as prostitutes but will charge viewers/men for a virtual sexual encounter. Inclosing, these are some of the women that get flown out for a physical/personal encounter. At this point, regarding entertainers and athletes, these types of women are truly out for the "bag", and some will do just about anything to secure it. They would even go as far as to say that they were forced, manipulated, or even worse. Think about it. Until next time, have some fun and get something done

The Real Reason Why The Female Rap Wave Is Ending

 


When it comes to female rappers, one can say many things. The most common question would be, who is the better rapper/Mc? The most asked question (especially in the inner-city barbershops) is who is the best looking. That's right, now-a-days people (some women as well) are all lusting over the half naked/black female rapper. The female rap genre use to be beautified with strong black women empowered to move the crowd and masses with intelligence and incredible wordplay. 

Back in the day, the female rapper hardly ever had to rely on her sex appeal in any way. It was her natural beauty and clever rhyme schemes that catapulted her to success. It wasn't until the emergence and ultimate success of legendary rappers like Lil Kim and Foxy Brown that changed the narrative as it pertained to what was considered a dope female Mc/rapper. 

As you may or may not know, record companies are mostly interested in what artists can generated lucrative sells. So successful female rappers like Lil Kim and Foxy Brown had become the successful template of what would become the so-called modern female rapper. Let's take the female rapper Dabrat, we now know that she's a part of the LGBT community. As a real fan of her music and her, one really understood that she was "gay" or a "tomboy" at the least. In-short, we seen her having to cater to a specific record buying public by down playing her true sexuality by donning sexually suggestive apparel that would lead the general public to believe that she wasn't a part of the LGBT community. It is this type of situation that many of our female rappers have to endure, even if there not comfortable with it.

Now in 2024, female rappers like Sexyy Red, Sukihana and many others are what we could considered desensitized. The success of the naked female rapper has been going on for so long that the production of said females rappers are on auto pilot. These would be rappers are mentally conditioned to already understand how they showed dress, the things they should rap about and how to disrespect the black man. As rapper/podcast guru Joe Budden said "this current state of female rappers has come to an end". Ultimately, real female rappers can reposition themselves in the forefront of what has now become a global music. Until next time, have some fun and get something done.

Houston We "May" Have A Problem


With the release of her two new singles titled Texas Holden & 16 Carriages the legendary R&B singer with almost unlimited crossover potential may have finally met her match. What the music industry considers "Pop Music" usually comes with what consumers considers a particular sound. In actuality, Pop Music is simply short for "popular music". With that being said legendary artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Prince were signed to their respective record labels as R&B artists. However their massive success afforded them the ability to transcend the world of "Soul Music" and it's consumer base to more people outside their niche. When this occurs the artists will then be considered popular or a "Pop" artist.

Beyoncé is now considered a pop star icon since the huge crossover success of her first solo album. Her ability to relate to multiple markets via her music and acting is remarkable. However, with her
new music being promoted as country music it seems like
certain radio stations are reluctant to support Beyoncé's
interpretation of modern country music. Her fan base
(The Bey hive) are putting the pressure on those reluctant
radio radios to add Beyoncé's new music to their rotation.

Both songs are doing extremely well online thus far
generating millions of views in just a few days. Country radio
are no strangers to African American "country artists" but
it seems to have issues with artists that are not necessarily
considered "country artists". Recently, (per the pressure from her fan base) a few Country radio stations has taken to twitter/X to acknowledge that they will start playing Beyoncé's new music. Although many of Beyoncé fan are claiming
racism to be the real reason why she's getting pushback at
Country radio. Hopefully, her music will continue to push
the boundaries of "labelism"and ultimately make it easier for future artists to come... Until next time, have some fun and get something done.

Shannon Sharpe Is Sitting On Top Of the World

Shannon Sharpe

Shannon Sharpe can be called many things. An all pro, Super Bowl wining, Hall of Fame football player. A supreme television sports analyst. Many are now saying, he's the most sought after journalist/interviewer the nation has to offer.

 After a very successful time with the Fox Sports show Undisputed (with the very popular journalist/Tv Host Skip Bayless) Shannon decided that he wasn't appreciated enough to continue the professional relationship with Mr. Bayless or Fox Sports. As a result of that decision Shannon agreed to take his talents to ESPN and join the country's number one sports debate show (First Take) with Stephen A. Smith.

One of the reasons that Shannon decided to join Stephen A. Smith on ESPN was as simple as Mr. Smith really appreciating the quality, the dedication, and the expertise that Shannon brings to the table. Another reason was Stephen A. Smith thought that how Shannon was handled at Fox was down right disrespectful. It was that treatment (among other things) that made Stephen A. stick his neck out in an attempt to recruit Shannon as a co-host. Shannon said in recent interviews that part of him coming to ESPN was to have enough time so that he can work on his own independent endeavors during the week as well. An agreement was made and now you can see Shannon (Shay Shay) Sharpe twice a week sitting across Stephen A Smith.

When it comes to Shannon Sharpe's independent endeavors, let's just say he's the hottest name in the media game right now. His podcast called Night Cap with football great/media personality, Chad (Ochocinco) Johnson is one of the nation's most successful sports podcast. Also, his number one most successful independent endeavor is no-doubt the country's most successful and hottest platform/show called Club Shay Shay. Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay has the nation's most popular interview featuring comedian/actor Katt Williams which hit the internet at the start of the year. As a result of (making Katt Williams feel safe during) that interview and his relationship with the platform The Volume, Shannon Sharpe is now sitting independently on top of the world as the industry's number one person to talk to. Until next time, have some fun and get something done.
