50 Cent and Daphne Joy

*50 Cent is taking legal action against his ex, Daphne Joy, after she alleged he raped her.

In March, Joy took to Instagram to publicly allege that the rapper sexually and physically abused her, a claim 50 Cent vehemently denies. As we reported earlier, he asserts that her accusations are a retaliatory strike in response to his pursuit of full custody of their 11-year-old son, Sire.

“I am tired of upholding and protecting an image to our son that you have never even earned,” Joy posted. “Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on.

She added, “You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false claims made against me. You have broken our hearts for the last and final time.”

50 Cent wants custody of Sire after Joy was named as one of Diddy’s “sex workers” in the lawsuit Rodney Jones filed against the iconic hip-hop music producer.

Katt Williams

*Netflix’s Roast of Tom Brady garnered significant press due to Kim Kardashian getting booed at the event, but the streamer’s Netflix Is a Joke festival withKatt Williams attracted more viewers.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix’s internal measurement for April 29-May 5 reveals that Katt Williams: Woke Foke, streamed live on Saturday, May 4, garnered 4 million views worldwide. This surpasses the 2 million views for the Brady roast.

Both specials secured spots in the global top 10 rankings. Additionally, Woke Foke achieved a higher ranking in the United States than “The Roast of Tom Brady.”

Jordan Peele

*Jordan Peele is making a documentary series about Black cowboys, with his 2022 thriller “Nope”serving as inspiration.

Peele is producing the untitled series through his Monkeypaw Productions with Universal Television Alternative Studio. The doc is part of his overall deal with Universal Studio Group, Deadline reports.  Jordan will executive produce for Peacock, with the series aiming to dismantle “the whitewashed mythology of the cowboy.”

Per the official description: “The untitled Black cowboy docuseries will rewrite a foundational piece of American history, unmasking the forces that erased the identity of the Black cowboy from frontier history and present. Stories of real cowboys will take viewers on a thrilling odyssey that connects to the heart of the resurgence of Black cowboy culture that we see today across music, art, fashion and film in a three-part series to premiere on Peacock.”

Benzino / R. Kelly

Benzino believes that R. Kelly is being treated unfairly after the latter was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges in 2022.

During an appearance on the We In Miami podcast that was published on Wednesday (April 24), the media proprietor talked about redemption in the context of male artists having sexual relations with girls who are below the age of consent.

“Everybody deserves a second chance,” he said when asked about the Chicago native. “The legal age is 16 years old, so does that make it right if a n-gga does it, yes or no?”

When the women around the table all collectively agreed that it’s still wrong, he continued: “Alright, but it’s legal in America, so why the fuck is R. Kelly doing all this time? Because you know why? Because they’re 14 and 13 — two years younger — but you don’t think that the people who cleared it for 16 years old didn’t know that they’re fucking with 13s and 14s, too.

Diddy

The motion, which was filed last Friday (April 26), claims that the embattled Bad Boy mogul cannot be sued for breaking laws that didn’t exist at the time, according to the Associated Press.

More specifically, the motion states that at the time of the alleged attack on Dickerson-Neal in 1991, some statutes that she cites in her suit, including those around revenge porn and human trafficking, weren’t yet on the books.

A judge has not yet ruled on the matter.
