General Hospital spoilers: Sonny gains a shocking new ally?
With a repaired heart and new lease on life, General Hospital's Sonny (Maurice Benard) was hoping to finally get out of the underworld after decades of being the Don of Port Charles. Unfortunately for him, he can't quite move on like he wants to, as enemies are afoot in Port Charles.
For starters, the new district attorney in town is determined to see Sonny thrown in prison. She has a clear disdain for him, and we're starting to think it's because she either just wants to make a name for herself in the legal community by taking down the Dimpled Kingpin or she wants to take Sonny down because she has a yet-to-be-revealed personal vendetta against him.
If it's the latter point, she would hardly be the first person working for the law to have personal reasons to want to see Sonny behind bars. Heck, it wasn't that long ago when John Cates (Adam J. Harrington) was stomping around Port Charles with a huge Corinthos chip on his shoulder.
However, the most pressing enemy for Sonny at the moment is Sidwell (Carlo Rota). The manipulative businessman has already tried killing Sonny in the penthouse explosion that ultimately led to Michael (Rory Gibson) being burned. Sidewall also hired someone to try and kill Sonny when he was recovering from heart surgery. And now that Sonny flat-out rejected Sidwell's offer to buy Sonny's piers, and the Corinthos patriarch told him to stay out of his way, we think Sonny is in even more danger.
Additionally, judging by the following General Hospital preview for the week of June 23, Sidwell looks as if he's going to become more infatuated with Sonny's children. Take a peek at him creepily thumbing through photos of Sonny's family.
With all that being said, Sonny could use another ally to help him out as he wages war on two fronts. Sure, he has Jason (Steve Burton) as his enforcer, Laura (Genie Francis) as his longtime friend/mayor and sometimes Anna (Finola Hughes), the police commissioner. However, he could use some more help. Enter Tracy (Jane Elliot).
We know, Tracy loathes Sonny. She believes he's been a thorn in her family's side for decades. However, it wasn't that long ago when Laura cautioned Tracy about her absolute rejection of Sonny and wanting to vote to take his pier to build the esplanade project.
Laura noted that Tracy shouldn't align herself with Sidwell on this issue, as Sidwell was likely a very dangerous man and too much of an unknown. Furthermore, Laura stressed that at least with Sonny, he would do what he could to help minimize violence and harm to Port Charles as he cared about the town and its people. Sooner or later, we just suspect Tracy will learn that Laura is right and Sidwell is definitely bad news for the town she loves so much.
We can imagine Tracy realizing the grave danger her family is in with Sidwell around town and eventually approaching Jason after the police don't find evidence to help her. Then, Jason gets Tracy to meet with Sonny in some capacity, and the trio talks strategy and comes up with a plan.
Now again, for naysayers of this idea, we understand the skepticism. Tracy's hatred for Sonny runs pretty deep. But with them now sharing more family members in common, Daisy and Gio (Giovanni Mazza), she may partner up with him if the ends justify these means.

Fat Joe Responds to Ex-Hypeman's Underage Sex Claims: ‘Disgusting Lies'
Fat Joe has officially responded to a salacious lawsuit filed by his ex-hypeman that accuses him of pedophilia, forced labor and sex trafficking, taking to Instagram to deny the claims and reassure fans. The post on Wednesday (June 25) is Fat Joe's first personal statement since he was sued last week by Terrance 'T.A.' Dixon, who accused the rapper of running a wide-ranging racketeering enterprise in which he trafficked underage girls for sex and subjected his employees to abusive working conditions. Fat Joe's attorneys have vehemently denied the claims and already have a pending counter-lawsuit accusing Dixon and his lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, of extortion. More from Billboard Lawyer for Fat Joe's Ex-Hypeman Arrested After Allegedly Hitting Rapper's Process Server With Car Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty to Assault Charges Over London Nightclub Fight Trump Extends TikTok Ban Deadline for a Third Time 'I've been tested the last few months — I've lost my big brother, my father, my mother and now I'm fighting against these disgusting lies,' wrote Fat Joe in the Instagram post. 'But please know I will not break and I will NEVER back down.' The rapper's statement echoes his attorneys' allegations that Dixon fabricated the claims in pursuit of a payday. 'They figure they can make up the most insane stories and, if they threaten you with a lawsuit, then you'll pay and they'll feel like they finally won,' he continued in the post. 'Problem with your theory,' he added, 'I've never let anyone on the streets extort me, so how would I ever let a crooked attorney and a coward ex-hype man extort me?? I'm from the Bronx!' Fat Joe's statement concludes by taking a dig directly at Blackburn: 'Since you want the clout, we will finish you in court. The time of lawyers using their law license as a badge to extort people and destroy families with no evidence is over!! I'm not the one!! You've messed with the wrong one this time!' The statement arrived the same day as another strange twist in the dispute, after Blackburn was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with assault for allegedly running over Fat Joe's process server with his car last month. Blackburn has pled not guilty to the charges, and his defense lawyer told Billboard the case seems to be 'at the very least…a misunderstanding or an accident, and at the most an attempt to extort some money out of my client.'

Ye & Sean Combs' Son King Release ‘Never Stop' EP, Including a Song Called ‘Diddy Free'
Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Diddy's son King Combs have dropped a surprise EP titled Never Stop. The embattled rapper and Puff's son released the project on streaming services at midnight Friday (June 27). Ye served as executive producer, and North West — his eldest daughter with ex-wife Kim Kardashian — is featured on the song 'Lonely Roads.' Another track worth noting is 'Diddy Free,' which includes the chorus, 'N—as ain't goin to sleep 'till we see Diddy free.' More from Billboard Adrian Quesada's Psychedelic Journey: How the Black Pumas Co-Founder Delved Into Latin America's Romantic Past LL Cool J Gives Fans an NYC Rap History Crash Course in 'Hip Hop Was Born Here' Trailer Teddy Swims Welcomes His First Child With Girlfriend Raiche Wright: 'We Love You Lil Man' The release makes sense, considering Ye has been one of Diddy's most high-profile defenders throughout the latter's federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, which is in the midst of closing arguments this week. Ye pulled up to Puff's trial in Manhattan earlier this month. The rapper — who has been facing criticism over his repeated hate speech the last few years — told one journalist that he had come to show support for the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder. Sean Combs has been on trial since May, facing allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. Federal prosecutors have accused him of managing an elaborate criminal ring aimed at facilitating his alleged freak-offs — drug-fueled events wherein he allegedly coerced women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, to have sex with others. His legal team has denied all of the charges, with Combs' attorney Teny Geragos claiming in opening statements: 'Sean Combs is a complicated man, but this is not a complicated case. We take full responsibility that there was domestic violence. Domestic violence is not sex trafficking.' Diddy's family has remained firmly in support of him, with his daughters attending his trial on Thursday (June 26). Listen to King Combs and Ye's new EP below.
