Birmingham to host daytime rave for mums
A rave tailor-made for mothers is being held outside London for the first Saturday, Hockley Social Club in Birmingham is hosting Mums That Rave, a daytime dance party that aims to "smash stereotypes of motherhood and inspire mothers to lead a fulfilling life".It was launched by DJ Nikki Beatnik, after the birth of her child motivated her to prove that motherhood did not mean she had to lose her identity."I, for one, refuse to disappear into a life of school runs, stripy jumpers and school WhatsApp groups," she said. Since the first Mums That Rave party in 2019, there have been 22 events - until now, all in raves attract mothers from 18 to 60, although all women are welcome."It's a safe space for women and mums to claim their space on the dance floor," said DJ Nikki. "As a woman in music - I've been in the music industry my whole adult life - and as a mum as well, I know it's really important that we have these safe spaces."It's really important for mums' mental health, as well, to have fun, to have somewhere to dress up and feel comfortable and dance - it's about community." DJ Nikki said she had long been passionate about giving greater representation to mums in the "youth-obsessed" music industry, continuing to run club nights and tour with the likes of Kelis and All Saints until four days before she gave birth in 2014."When I gave birth, I realised that a few of the big clients and brands that I'd always worked with had gone quiet and more or less stopped booking me," she said. "The only thing I could really put it down to was now that I was a mum."When you're a DJ, you kind of look the same for years - but when you become a mum DJ that puts you in a different category." She decided to create something similar to her previous club nights, but at a time of day which suited women who wanted to get home for their children's bedtime, or who had to get up the next morning."It's the hardest demographic I've ever promoted parties to," she said, "because mums have so much scheduling, they take on such a big mental load."So to take an afternoon off and spend their money with me, I know I'm going to have to make that afternoon absolutely amazing for them."And the vibes have to be brilliant." Guests can expect what DJ Nikki describes as "non-mum-branded" music such as drum and bass, hip-hop, R&B, and dancehall are encouraged to attend in groups or solo, as DJ Nikki said she always made an effort to introduce new faces to regular have been coming to her parties since the start and have forged long-term friendships, she ultimate aim is to show women that motherhood does not define them."Mums that Rave really is a metaphor for the bigger picture of life, of grabbing life by the disco balls, and not thinking that everything's over for you," she explained. "Being able to pivot to another career, or another job, or make new friends."And get out there, dress up and look fabulous." Mums That Rave Birmingham takes place at Hockley Social Club from 14:00 to 18:00 BST on Saturday 7 June, with tickets available on the Mums That Rave website.

Leaked Sean ‘Diddy' Combs tape shows disgraced star enforcing ‘women only' rule
A never before seen video shows Sean 'Diddy' Combs at one of his notorious house parties ordering women onto the dance floor to enforce his 'guys don't dance with guys' rule. The U.S. Sun has exclusively obtained the clip from a celeb-filled private bash hosted by Combs before the Grammy Awards in January 2020. The likes of Jay Z, Jamie Foxx, and Chance The Rapper were at the party to celebrate Combs being honoured during Grammy week. In the dimly lit room inside the star's mansion in Holmby Hills, Combs is filmed wearing all-black clothing with a huge diamond necklace as he stands behind the DJ booth. A crowd of people is seen gathered on the dance floor after Combs abruptly stops the music during the party. Holding a microphone, Combs boldly addresses his guests, telling them, 'We're here to dance. Guys, don't be smoking on the dancefloor, man. 'You ain't got no girl, you gotta get a girl on the dancefloor. That's Combs' rules. 'We dance with girls, we don't dance with guys over here. 'And ain't nothing wrong with that. If you're a guy, you like guys, hey man, it's all good, but you gotta dance, aight.' He then orders, 'But open up that door so I can speak to the people in my kitchen. 'Open the door so I can speak to the people in my kitchen, please. Because we gotta get the people out of the house and into the party.' The crowd is then heard shouting at him to put the music back on, to which he blasts, 'Look, no, you don't do that and you don't yell nothing.' The seemingly homophobic comment comes amid claims Combs drugged and sexually abused men as well as women at drug-fuelled orgies, known as freak-offs. Combs is facing multiple civil suits but has always denied any wrongdoing. The disgraced star himself has never publicly addressed or denied any rumours regarding his sexual orientation. The U.S. Sun has seen the location and time stamp of the videos from the party, showing it was held at Combs' mansion, a 17,000-square-foot estate in Beverly Hills with 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. In March 2024, the property was raided by Homeland Security as part of the investigation into Combs. It was put up for sale shortly before his arrest and is still listed for $61,500,000. The party video comes as Combs' trial begins this week in Manhattan, New York, as he's tried over allegations of racketeering and sex trafficking. The male partygoer who filmed the clip and took other photographs of guests at the party is known to The U.S. Sun but wishes to remain anonymous. When asked about the party, he said: 'I got invited to Diddy's house in the early hours of January 26, 2020, through a mutual friend. 'It was pretty dark in there but they had this dance floor with like a 70s disco vibe. 'Some of the celebrities in attendance were Jay-Z, Chance the Rapper, Migos, Ne-Yo, and Jamie Foxx. 'During one of the dance songs, Diddy jumped on the microphone and was saying kind of crazy stuff where he didn't want to see dudes dancing with other dudes. 'I felt that was disrespectful. We are all there to have a great time.' The partygoer said it was his first Diddy party and although he never saw anyone having sex he claimed people were going into back rooms at the house. 'I was offered cocaine a bunch of times, I remember that much,' he said. 'He had a lot of security but quite a few people had their phones out on the dance floor and they didn't say anything. 'Diddy made the speech on the mic about 3am and the party went on until 5am. 'I saw some girls walking around holding hands and celebrities in different side rooms hanging out.' Combs hosted his house party after being named the 2020 Grammy Salute To Industry Icons honoree the day before the awards. He drew a star-studded crowd at the annual Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala on Saturday, January 26, just hours before his private bash. The likes of Jay Z, Beyonce, Cardi B, Lana Del Rey, Ozzy Osbourne, Janet Jackson, and John Legend were in attendance to honour him at the event.

This man captured 2 key moments on video from the El Camaron Gigante shooting in Glendale
He was walking through the patio area of El Camaron Gigante, filming the cleanup after the dance party. The event had ended early, not due to the rain, but because of a fight that broke out in the crowd. That's when Derek Molina heard the gunshots. They were coming from the parking lot. He began shouting for people to get down and take cover. As he ducked for safety himself, his thumb hit the record button on his iPhone, capturing the moment on video. Molina, 39, who posts video on his NinoBoyTV Instagram channel, didn't initially realize he was recording. But once he did realize it, Molina kept recording. Molina inadvertently recorded two key moments of the May 4 shooting at El Camaron Gigante near downtown Glendale, an incident that left three people dead. The shooting occurred during a monthly outdoor dance event and community fair known as On A Sunday Afternoon. He captured a fight inside the event that police believe led to the later gunplay. Molina also captured the sounds of the gunfire and its aftermath, including him running to aid a victim. Molina, in an interview with The Arizona Republic, said after a second barrage of shots, he noticed the entrance gate to the patio of the El Camaron Gigante restaurant was still open. He shouted at someone to close it. He then moved behind a cart that had served as a bar and took cover. Molina briefly set his phone on the bar, using the camera like a periscope to get a glimpse of what was happening while he stayed low. There was a pause in the shots. Though Molina said he wasn't sure if the incident was over. Then he spotted a man stumbling near a row of portable toilets. 'He's hit. He's hit,' Molina says in the video. 'Call 911.' The man was leaning against a wall writhing in pain. Molina said he was still in the line of fire should a bullet come through the open gate. He helped lift the man and guide him behind a wall, shouting for others to move aside. Someone handed Molina a T-shirt, and another person gave him a sweater. 'I twisted it up as tight as I could above the wound,' he said. 'I had him put pressure on it.' Two women who told Molina they were training to be nurses stepped in and took over tending to the injured man. Molina said he saw no blood gushing. He saw that as a positive sign that maybe the bullet had passed through. Molina went outside the grounds to alert someone about the injured man. The scene, he said, was 'people screaming and chaos and all that.' He didn't go far before he saw a person on the ground who wasn't moving. Molina said he moved quickly through the scene until he found a paramedic. That person got the attention of a police officer who walked with Molina back to the injured man. The man was in pain, but didn't appear in serious medical trouble. The man had been in the portable restroom when a bullet punctured it and hit him in the rear, Molina said. The two talked and eventually found dark humor in the situation:. 'It put a smile on his face,' he said. Eventually, police started clearing the scene and ordering everyone to go home. When Molina got home, he said he started reviewing the video he shot. 'At first I didn't want to put it up,' he said. Then he learned the ages of the victims — two were 21, and one was just 17. Two of them, including the 17-year-old, were brothers. 'That changed my perspective,' he said. 'That changed the narrative.' He decided to post the two videos in case it helped police figure out what happened. His instinct was right. Glendale police later asked for the public's help in identifying three individuals described as 'persons of interest.' The photos released by the department appeared to be taken from the NinoBoyTV video showing the fight inside the event. Molina didn't post all of the video he shot. He said police have not contacted him asking to review his footage. During the On A Sunday Afternoon event, Molina was onstage filming people dancing when the fight broke out in the crowd. His video showed a woman appearing to shout for security to remove four men. A man standing behind the woman appears to throw an object at the four men. One of them runs toward him. Molina said he didn't think the fight was notable. 'It was a fight that went on,' he said. 'OK. Cool. And everyone just goes on their merry way.' Police later stated that the two groups involved had a history of 'bad blood,' and that the altercation at the OASA event ultimately escalated into the gunfire outside the venue. Glendale police said that as of May 9 there were no arrests in the shooting. Molina did not know anyone involved in the fight during the event. He did not know the victims who died. He did not know the man he tended to. Though, he said, the two were connected through social media. The man Molina helped posted on Instagram that he was 'recovering well each day that passes and I'll be back on my feet within time.' The Republic was not able to reach that man for comment. Glendale police did not release his name, nor any of the injured individuals. Molina said he was glad to have helped. 'I didn't think anything was going through my mind at that moment but to get that person out of the way,' he said. He also keeps thinking of those who died that day. 'If I could go back to that moment, if I could go back to that night,' he said. 'I would give my life for these kids to go home.'
