Ja Rule ripped into longtime rival 50 Cent over the rapper’s involvement in the Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, accusing him of hypocrisy and calling him a “dry snitch” for spotlighting Diddy’s alleged misconduct while ignoring his own history.

The Queens native didn’t mince words on social media, writing, “N#### always telling on somebody…ol dry snitch ass n####!!! #SYBAU.”

He followed up with a pointed message about 50 Cent’s motivations behind the project: “Let’s be real that n#### dgaf about the victims we ALL know why he did the doc… Herman’s a cancer to the culture if he cares so much then donate the profits to charities for domestic violence…”

Ja Rule also took a direct shot at 50 Cent’s past, referencing a 2013 domestic violence case involving the rapper and his ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy.

“I’m not condoning Diddy’s behavior, I’m showcasing Herman’s character…” he added. “Hermans no different… ALLEGEDLY!!!”

The Netflix docuseries, which 50 Cent executive-produced, dives into decades of allegations against Diddy, including claims of abuse, intimidation and misconduct in both his personal life and business dealings.

The series features interviews with former Bad Boy Records staff, alleged victims and industry insiders. While some viewers applauded the documentary for amplifying survivors’ voices, others questioned its timing and intent.

Diddy’s legal team dismissed the series as a “shameful” attack and accused 50 Cent of exploiting the situation out of personal spite. They also raised concerns about the inclusion of confidential footage, including strategy meetings with Diddy’s lawyers, which they claim was never cleared for public release.

Netflix and the filmmakers maintain that all materials used in the series were obtained legally.

The feud between Ja Rule and 50 Cent has stretched across more than two decades, rooted in both personal grievances and professional competition. Their animosity has played out in diss tracks, interviews, and social media spats since the early 2000s.

Ja Rule’s latest criticism centers on what he sees as hypocrisy. In 2013, 50 Cent was charged in Los Angeles with domestic violence and vandalism after an incident at Daphne Joy’s condo.

Prosecutors alleged he kicked down her door, destroyed property worth thousands and kicked her during an argument. He was charged with one count of domestic violence and four counts of vandalism.

Later that year, Jackson avoided trial by pleading no contest to a reduced misdemeanor vandalism charge. The domestic violence count was dropped. He was sentenced to three years of probation, ordered to complete community service and pay fines, and was issued a stay-away order protecting Joy.

In March 2024, Joy accused Jackson of rape and abuse during their relationship in a social media post. Jackson denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit in Texas, claiming her statements were false and tied to a custody dispute over their son. The case was dismissed without prejudice in September, meaning it could be refiled.

Ja Rule’s call for 50 Cent to donate proceeds from the docuseries to domestic violence charities adds another layer to their ongoing battle. As of now, Jackson has not publicly responded to the demand.

“Hermans no different… ALLEGEDLY!!!,” Ja Rule concluded his tirade. While Rule’s intention may have been good, many took aim at him for supporting Diddy under any circumstances.

“Awww all of this for Diddy? Do you miss his freak offs?” one user wrote sarcastically. Another said, “Don’t do this, Ja, you really don’t have to get involved. You have been living graciously in hip hop for years, this is a bad idea to get down in the dirt with Diddy & 50.”

At this point, seems you’ve had your ass oiled by Diddy too, bcos I’m struggling to understand why you desperately want to plug yourself into th mess.

Comparing 50 to Diddy is blasphemy

You’re just making yourself look worse

I’m hearing some chatter—chatter that’s giving real life to the idea that a sequel to this Diddy documentary might already be in motion.

A lot of you have pointed out the missing pieces in the current doc. I don’t know if Netflix left certain parts out because they’ve already popped up elsewhere, or if they purposely held material back for a second installment. But believe me, there’s plenty more that could be said.

And let’s be clear: a whole lot of people did not participate in this docuseries. It’s very possible 50’s involvement scared some folks off…or, depending on how you look at it, made others more willing to talk. Either way, the tide feels like it’s turning. People seem more ready to speak now, especially after seeing the impact this documentary series has had.

We’ve also watched people crawl out of the woodwork to tell their truth or to shut down some of what’s being presented. So yeah, we’re going to be debating this one for a long time. But let’s keep it real: the money is the engine here. Netflix wants streams and subscribers. This documentary has everybody talking, everybody watching, and definitely bringing in new subscribers.

So while this is just a rumor, I wouldn’t dismiss the chatter about a second round of Diddy talk. Honestly, this feels like just the beginning. I don’t think for a second that this is the end of anything. If anything, it’s the opening chapter. And I’m willing to bet we’ll see plenty more stories unfold between now and the time he gets out and probably way beyond that.

Imagine, for example, if Cassie is willing to speak…

If Damon Dash thought his $25 million bankruptcy would get a lawyer targeting him for years off his ass, he was severely mistaken.

Christopher Brown has launched a forceful challenge in Florida’s bankruptcy court, arguing that Damon Dash’s bid for a financial reset cannot erase more than $4.8 million in court-ordered debts stemming from years of defamation and misconduct.

Brown’s latest filing outlines a long trail of legal defeats that began with a 2022 jury verdict in a case over the film Dear Frank. That case produced an $823,000 award in favor of director Josh Webber, but things escalated when Dash made accusations during an interview on the Earn Your Leisure podcast.

Dash’s comments on the podcast cost Webber a $4 million directing deal for the movie Fast Life, a project that collapsed after Dash’s remarks spread online. That lawsuit ended with a sweeping default judgment after Dash refused to comply with repeated court orders.

Dash has tried to frame the bankruptcy as a way to breathe, not a sign of surrender. Before Brown’s latest legal action over the weekend, Dash said Chapter 7 would freeze the people trying to collect from him.

He described the process as a shield rather than a setback, suggesting creditors would be stuck on the sidelines while the case played out.

That sentiment came through clearly when he addressed the situation on The Art of Dialogue.

“All the people that you owe money to, they’re not allowed to sue you anymore. They’re not allowed to sue you for a certain period of time, cause there’s nothing to collect. This dude Chris Brown, he muddies the waters a lot because he’s a lawyer and he’s intelligent. I’m not going to take that from him. But I think he’s dumb because he just wasted a lot of time. Allegedly. I don’t want to catch another lawsuit. Even though I can’t get sued, I got PTSD, I think,” Damon Dash told said_._

Brown and Webber’s latest complaint argues the opposite.

His attorneys say Dash’s actions were intentional, malicious, and financially destructive, and that the bankruptcy code bars the discharge of debts arising from willful injury.

The filing stresses that Damon Dash had already been told by a court that his statements were false, yet he continued to repeat them publicly, knowing the harm they would cause.

The pushback doesn’t end with Webber.

Attorney Christopher Brown, who won a separate judgment after Dash accused him of robbing a child and being investigated by the FBI, filed his own nondischargeability action.

Brown claims Dash hid assets by shifting ownership of his “CEO” clothing brand, concealing jewelry, withholding royalties and refusing to disclose his life-story rights, which the lawyer says “should be sold in the same fashion as the rights of another Florida debtor,” the notorious, Casey Anthony.

He also points to a pattern of public attacks that began after Dash was sued over copyright and trademark disputes involving Dear Frank and Edwyna Brooks’ Mafietta book series. Both adversary cases land at a critical moment for Dash.

If the court sides with Webber and Brown, the most damaging judgments he faces will survive bankruptcy.

Stefon Diggs launched his furniture and lifestyle brand SI VIS PACEM at Miami Art Basel over the weekend.

The New England Patriots wide receiver got public support from his girlfriend, Cardi B, who posted “Proud of you… designed by Stefon Diggs” on her Instagram story.

The 32-year-old NFL star’s brand name comes from the Latin phrase “Si vis pacem, para bellum,” meaning “if you want peace, prepare for war.” Diggs had been working on the project for months before the Miami launch.

Cardi B attended the showcase with Diggs’ mother, showing strong family support for his business venture. The couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, on November 14.

The furniture launch happened during Diggs’ birthday weekend. Cardi threw him a lavish 32nd birthday party in Miami to celebrate his November 29 birthday. She sang Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” as he blew out his candles.

On the field, Diggs continues performing well for New England after recovering from a season-ending ACL tear with Houston last year. He’s played in all 13 games this season, appearing on 55 percent of the Patriots’ offensive plays.

The Maryland product has been one of New England’s most reliable weapons while providing veteran leadership.

The furniture brand represents Diggs’ first major business venture outside football.

Gene Deal fired back at Misa Hylton after she accused him of causing harassment over old paternity rumors. The former Diddy bodyguard didn’t hold back when responding to Hylton’s claims.

“I saw that today. Somebody sent me that s### today, man,” Deal said on The Art of Dialogue. “And my whole thing about it is, Misa, how am I harassing you? I’ve never harassed you. I’ve always been a protector of you so far, until now.”

Deal worked security for Diddy for years and has spoken publicly about his time with the music mogul. He said he won’t back down from telling his version of events.

Hylton posted on Instagram this week, saying she and Justin Combs faced harassment because of Deal’s comments and Netflix’s new Diddy documentary. She said the speculation about Justin’s paternity has caused “heartbreaking” pain for her family.

She said she’s a private person who doesn’t deserve public scrutiny.

Hylton and Diddy dated in the 1990s and had Justin together in 1993. The drama centers around old rumors that Anthony “Wolf” Jones was Justin’s real father.

Jones worked as Diddy’s bodyguard and close friend before being killed in Atlanta in November 2003. Jones was shot and killed along with friend Lamont Girdy during the Atlanta incident. Police said dozens of shots were fired during the deadly confrontation.

Deal has previously suggested Jones might be Justin’s biological dad. But he said Hylton’s anger is misdirected.

“For you to go and try to snake that whole situation and saying I’m the reason why you being harassed,” Deal continued. “No. Your ex [Diddy] is the reason why you being harassed.”

The Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning brought renewed attention to old rumors about Diddy’s family.

“Misa is mad at me and upset with me because I didn’t clarify that,” Deal said. “It wasn’t for me to clarify. Misa, I ain’t harassed you not one time.”

The back-and-forth comes as 50 Cent continues promoting his Diddy documentary series.

What a dramatic situation we have here.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis just popped back onto Twitter for the first time in months and he has all the smoke for Cam’ron and Mase.

The undefeated knockout artist woke up fuming after the latest episode of “It Is What It Is,” the popular sports talk show hosted by the duo. The pair had been promoting the Pitbull Cruz vs. Lamont Roach fight for months. By the way, Roach got robbed again last night! Last night, Cam stepped into Roach’s corner after the bout. And Tank’s name came up.

And that’s where things got messy.

When Stat Baby asked if Tank deserved a fight with the winner, Cam’ron and Mase didn’t hold anything back. They went back to Tank backing out of a scheduled matchup with Roach, questioned his decision-making around the scrapped Jake Paul fight and referred to Paul calling Tank “an actual human piece of garbage.” Now, I do not ride with that part.

Then they doubled down on something that I believe stung the pugilist.

Both hosts argued Tank lost his previous fight with Roach, something most people believe. But they took it farther, saying the draw only happened because of Tank’s star power. Good point. There mentioned the uncalled knockdown…which was a knockdown. I do not care what anybody says. Roach outworked the champ. Period.

Cam and Mase didn’t stop there.
They said Shakur Stevenson now looks sharper.
They said Tank isn’t Floyd Mayweather.
And Cam’ron even floated the idea that a 47-year-old Floyd could still give Tank problems today. OUCH.

That awakened the beast.

After a three-month Twitter silence, Tank popped up with a direct shot at Cam’ron:
“Ask Coach Cam’ron how does his throat feel?” Oh. We going there with it?

Then a fan reminded him Mase had talked spicy too and Tank escalated. “I’ll pull up to that show and beat the sh*t out of Mase,” he said on Twitter.

Classic Tank.

But if the champ wants the last word, it won’t come from threats. It’ll come from taking big fights and winning them. He did not beat Roach and he did not fight the YouTuber. So, we’ll have to wait and see how it goes from here. Those dudes are like 50 and never boxed a day in their life.

Cardi B didn’t just show up in Miami; she raised the temperature like she was competing with the sun. The rap superstar flew down to celebrate Stefon Diggs’ 32nd birthday during his NFL bye week and the photos from the night explain why the city is still steaming.

Cardi B stepped out in a black dress so tight and sculpted it looked engineered, not sewn and the gold-chain detailing running down the back turned every hallway, club floor and Art Basel venue into a runway.

From the front, the dress plunged low enough to break eye contact. From the back, the chainwork clung to her curves like it had been dipped onto her body.

Miami didn’t have a chance.

Footage from the birthday weekend already went viral, showing Cardi B rapping “Magnet” to Diggs before switching into a soft, sultry “Happy Birthday.”

But the new pictures she posted? Those are the real souvenirs.

One shot captures her gliding through the Ritz-Carlton lobby, looking like she walked straight out of a music video filmed in 98-degree weather.

Another angle shows the back of her dress lit up against the wall, every chain link catching the Miami glow as she leaned in close to Diggs during dinner.

By the time the night moved to the club, the city felt less like Miami and more like Cardi’s personal furnace. She wasn’t just dressed for the heat; she was the heat.

An Ohio man’s family outing to Dave & Buster’s turned into a 30-minute ordeal after he asks about a 50% off games promotion. Here’s what likely happened.

TikTok creator Tim Holmes (@kingdomquest), who usually produces content about his toy product Nurkl, posted a video about the ordeal last week.

He said his family arrived at the arcade chain hoping to stretch their game credits twice as far based on a promotional email claiming games were half off. Dave & Buster’s locations typically have a half-price Wednesday, so an advertisement for Sunday would be an exception.

Ohio Man Takes Family to Dave & Buster’s for 50% Off Games

“We show up, and we’re going through, and I’m looking at the games, and I’m like, ‘Am I going insane?’” Holmes said. “Because on the games, it looks like the cost to play a single game is the same as a normal day, but they said that they’re half priced today. So I was like, ‘I’m gonna go ask someone. I’m gonna go ask an employee.’”

Holmes talked to an employee who didn’t seem to understand the issue. Then he spoke with another employee. “And he goes, ‘Yeah, I think they’re supposed to be half priced today,’ but he’s like, ‘I was looking at the machines myself, and they are showing that they’re full price, so I’m not sure what’s going on,’” he continued.

After cycling through a few people who relayed conflicting answers on whether the promotion was active, a head manager finally popped up. Holmes explained the half-off deal, and allegedly the manager said he believed the games should be half-off. Holmes said the manager promised to check the system and find out for sure.

Should the Dave & Buster’s Games Have Been 50% Off?

Holmes says the ordeal lasted 30 minutes, and the family didn’t play any games during that time. “So I asked him, ‘Is it possible that when I put my card in there, it actually subtracts half the points instead of what it’s saying on the machine?’ And he goes, ‘Yeah, that’s possible, I guess.’”

But when Holmes went and played, he found that the game charged what he thought was the normal amount. The TikToker had found that “the average cost was between four and six [tokens]. And on the high end, it could be up to 12. Four to six was the average cost, right? And they’re supposed to be half price.”

It’s essential to understand how Dave & Buster’s pricing works, and new information is reshaping this story. According to detailed pricing data compiled by the Dave & Buster’s Reddit community, the chain implemented system-wide price changes in March, dividing its 171 locations into four pricing tiers.

The Columbus Polaris location, where the creator likely visited, falls under Tier 2 pricing, where chips cost between 12.71 and 21.43 cents each, depending on purchase volume. At this location, the average game typically costs between 6.8 and 12 chips, roughly translating to about $1–$2 per game. But this depends on the type of game.

How to Understand the Dave & Buster’s Chip Conversion Rate

According to the subreddit, the updated standard arcade games run 6.8–9.0 chips, redemption games like Skee-Ball cost 7.5–11.0 chips, and VR attractions can run 16.0–25.0 chips or more.

Critical here is that the company’s well-known “Half-Price Wednesdays” promotion brings the average game cost down to about 3–5 chips (approximately $0.50–$0.75 per game). This is what the toy maker expected to see on “Half Price Sunday.”

By the end of the clip, Holmes felt cheated. He said, “I believe that manager is lying to me.”

In reality, the company altered the pricing. In this situation, it seems like this was likely not a case of malfeasance. The games do appear to be half-price, but Dave & Buster’s just increased its prices since March.

In fact, at least one commenter noted the change. “I think the games went up,” they wrote.

All Hip Hop reached out to Holmes via TikTok and Dave & Busters for more information.
