50 Cent Shares Clips Of Diddy Insulting Donald Trump Amid Talk Of Potential Pardon
Diddy has sought every way out of his potential doom within the last year, and a recent report suggested that he may go to President Donald Trump for a pardon if he is convicted in his current trafficking trial. 50 Cent, the constant thorn in the controversial mogul's side, has now reminded him why Trump may not be willing to help him out by sharing a few old clips. In October 2020, Puff sat down with Charlamagne Tha God for an interview ahead of the 2020 presidential election. He emphatically endorsed Joe Biden's candidacy and announced the launch of Our Black Party, a collective focused on advocacy for the African American community. Fif shared a portion of their conversation on his Instagram. 'If Trump gets elected, I really do believe in my heart there will be a race war,' the Bad Boy co-founder said in the clip. 'That's why this message is not just to Black people, you know what I'm saying? This message is to everybody. This man is really trying to turn us against each other and put us in a situation. America messed up.' In a second clip, the former REVOLT chairman took things even further and said, 'White men like Trump need to be banished.' Watch the clips below. Time and different circumstances have seemingly changed Diddy's tune on Donald Trump, as he is reportedly 'angling' for a presidential pardon if he is convicted. If found guilty, the 55-year-old artist could face life in prison. 'He's willing to do anything to get out of jail,' a source who has been close to the 'Last Night' artist for a decade told Rolling Stone. 'He's always been this way. He's always going to do what he has to do to get out of a situation.' 'Brother Love' couldn't have found himself in this situation at a better time. Just last week, Trump pardoned YoungBoy Never Broke Again, who had been recently reprimanded for gun-related charges. YB had been released from federal prison in March and sent to home confinement in Utah due to credit for time served, which ended in April. With this pardon, he won't have to follow any probation terms, the worst of which was drug testing. Trump also commuted Larry Hoover's federal life sentence for operating a criminal enterprise last week. The kingpin isn't completely off the hook, though; while he gets to leave the supermax facility in Colorado, he returns home to Illinois to continue serving his 150 to 200-year sentence for a murder he committed in Chicago in 1973. Nonetheless, Diddy may find himself needing Trump's help at the most opportune time. This past Friday (May 30), Donald Trump was asked about his willingness to help Diddy. 'I haven't spoken to him in years,' he told Fox News. 'He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up, from what I read. I don't know, he didn't tell me that. But I'd read some … nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden.' The 78-year-old President admitted that he had to keep the United States in mind when considering what to do with Diddy's personal affairs. 'You know, it's different,' he said. 'You become a much different person when you run for politics, and you do what's right. I could do other things, and I'm sure he'd like me, and I'm sure other people would like me, but it wouldn't be as good for our country.' Ultimately, he didn't have a final answer on what he would do at the time. 'It's not a popularity contest, so I don't know,' he admitted. 'I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me.'

Former Diddy Employee Reveals The Notorious B.I.G.-Inspired Alias He Used To Book Hotels
'Freak-offs' have been a major focal point in the Diddy sex trafficking trial, especially the initial alleged details of what hotel rooms would be stocked with and look like afterward. His former employee recently testified about his experience booking lodging for the 55-year-old artist, and how the fake name he used was connected to The Notorious B.I.G. George Kaplan, Diddy's former assistant, told the jury on Wednesday (May 21) that he would often be told by Puff or Kristina Khorram, his chief of staff, to arrange stays for the controversial mogul on short notice. The former REVOLT chairman's preferred locations were allegedly in New York, Miami, or Los Angeles; namely, NY's Trump International Hotel & Tower or LA's The InterContinental, where he infamously assaulted Cassie in 2016. Diddy, like many celebrities, would use an alias given the alleged activity happening in the rooms and his general celebrity status. Kaplan revealed that his go-to fake name was 'Frank Black,' a play on the late Biggie's moniker 'Frank White.' The Bad Boy co-founder spent the years following Big's death constantly paying homage to him and divulging their relationship, so it is no surprise that he was top of mind in this regard. George Kaplan was also given specific instructions on setting up the hotel rooms; his testimony aligned with details of the lawsuits against Diddy. He would bring a bag with him full of 'clothes, a speaker, candles, liquor, baby oil and Astroglide,' and unpack it before the Press Play artist arrived. Kaplan revealed that he 'often' purchased these items with a corporate credit card, adding that he believed Diddy began to have him around more often when he gained more trust in him. Kaplan also revealed that he would pick up additional items for the mogul at his request, which included more clothing, food, and 'sometimes drugs.' The 'Last Night' artist apparently had a toiletries bag that was stocked with ketamine and Advil. Kaplan's account of what the rooms looked like when he went to clean them after Puff was finished was also accurate to the details of the lawsuits. He claimed that he would see empty bottles of Gatorade, alcohol, and baby oil. Prosecutors were interested in why Kaplan did the cleaning and not hotel staff, to which he replied, 'It was implied — protecting him and protecting his public image were really important.' Over the last few weeks, the jury has heard from Cassie regarding her experiences in the 'freak-offs,' sex workers, and now an assistant who helped put them together. One can only imagine what will be brought to light next.

Florida activist calls for Satanology banners at public schools citing First Amendment
T. Chaz Stevens, founder of the religion he calls "Satanology," is calling for Brevard Public Schools to display banners at five high schools in Brevard County, Florida. The Florida activist, who runs REVOLT boot camp, is seeking to place banners promoting what he calls the Church of Satanology and Perpetual Soirée at Heritage High School, Melbourne High School, Palm Bay Magnet High School, Rockledge High School and Viera High School. Stevens is requesting that the school district put up banners promoting Satanology after noticing a Trinity Church banner hanging on the fence outside the football stadium at Palm Bay Magnet High School in Melbourne, Florida. In an interview with Fox News, Stevens also stated that he is seeking to advertise Satanology on the electronic signs. "They have an electronic sign and on the electronic sign: Palm Bay Magnet High School thanks the church. So we're going to ask today, the school board, to put us up. Not only the banners on the chain link fence, but also on the electronic billboards," Stevens said. The activist raised a similar complaint in Broward County, Florida, which resulted in the removal of similar banners at public schools. "I am not a lawyer but I have filed pro se court cases in federal court against Broward County school districts," he explained. "Where Broward County did basically the same kind of thing and while I lost in court—but unexpectedly, Broward County revised—because of my efforts—Broward County revised their policy and has taken down the church banners on the chain link fence." The banner Stevens is seeking to display promotes the religion he founded, the "Ministry of Chaz the Bropostle and his Bro-Minions," and contains the motto, "Satan loves the First Amendment." When asked if he is pursuing freedom for all religions or to display his own banner only, Stevens responded that the First Amendment says, "'All or none.' So it's everyone or no one. But they have a third case, what they are doing right now, which is 'some.'" He continues, "What I want is the separation of Church and State. No banners on the chain link fence. But if they're going to allow some, they've got to put me up." The Trinity Church of Melbourne uses the high school as its location and displays its hours of service on an electronic sign as well as on a banner on the school's fence. Stevens states that he views the banner as an advertisement and that the school created what he describes as a "limited public forum" when the banner was displayed. Stevens' website lists his recent projects as the "Satan or Silence" project, "In God We Trust" posters, "10 Commandments" posters, and a campaign to "ban Bibles" in all 63 Florida school districts. When asked if he has activist projects for other religions or solely Christianity, Stevens responded, "We've had a problem with Christianity being the majority voice throughout our entire history." "The great majority of America self-describes as Christians," he said. "The powerful majority voice by great numbers are the Christians." "And when you look at the church banners that are going up, these aren't church banners for Islam. These aren't church banners for Wiccans. These aren't church banners for the Druids. If the Druids were doing this I'd be going after the Druids. The people that are doing this are Christians." Fox News reached out to Brevard County School District but has yet to receive a response.

Pregnant Cassie Ventura divulges shocking details of ex Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' ‘Freak-Off' that lasted 4 days: ‘Became a job'
Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura divulged shocking new details about ex Sean 'Diddy' Combs' 'Freak-Offs' during her testimony. On Tuesday, the 'Me & U' singer — who is expecting her third child with husband Alex Fine — took the stand to testify during the 'Act Bad' rapper's sex trafficking trial about the wild sex- and drug-filled parties he hosted. 'The 'Freak-Offs' became a job,' Ventura, 38, told the jury inside the Manhattan federal court. 'There was no time to do anything else but do them, then try to recover.' When Assistant United States Attorney Emily Johnson asked Ventura how much time a 'Freak-Off' would take, she replied that it would take 'significant periods of time.' 'The longest was four days,' she claimed. Elsewhere in her testimony, the 'Long Way 2 Go' songstress recalled the horrific details of the alleged abuse she experienced at the hands of her ex, whom she dated on and off for 10 years. 'He would bash me on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me, stomp me on the head if i was down,' she testified from the witness stand Tuesday. Ventura claimed the dad of seven would fight with her over little disagreements and would tell her to 'fix [her] face or watch [her] mouth' before he allegedly began 'hitting' her in the face. 'I also felt at certain times when I knew it wasn't even about me … make the wrong face and the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face,' she further testified. The model alleged Combs, who is 17 years older than her, introduced her to 'Freak-Offs' when she was around 22 and would 'direct' her and her sexual partner on what to do. 'I was in love and I just wanted to make him happy,' she told jurors. In November 2023, Ventura filed a lawsuit against the disgraced hip-hop mogul, accusing him of rape and repeated physical abuse throughout their relationship. Combs, 55, initially denied the allegations. However, he and the 'Official Girl' singer settled for an undisclosed amount within 24 hours. In May 2024, hotel surveillance footage of the REVOLT co-founder attacking Ventura after she tried to escape into an elevator was released to the public by CNN. A LAPD officer who was at the scene of the 2016 hotel beating testified Monday that Combs offered him a stack of money to keep quiet about the assault on Ventura. Combs is currently on trial facing charges of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty. The 'Last Night' rapper is also facing a plethora of lawsuits from both men and women who have accused him of a range of sexual misconduct. He has denied all allegations.

Rap star Pusha T's 'favorite business' venture is surprisingly a US medical-based service company
While many celebrities channel their cash into business ventures as flashy as their lifestyles — think high-end liquors and swanky real estate — rap star Pusha T flipped the script by backing a relatively boring business a lot of people wouldn't even consider: medical transportation. 'This is my favorite business,' he revealed during an interview on REVOLT's 'Assets Over Liabilities' podcast in November 2023.
