The Game is stirring conversation, because he is saying there was a mid 2000s moment when Michael Jackson called him during his massive riff with 50 Cent and asked why the two players had fallen out. The convo happened on Club Shay Shay. Game detailed the unlikely exchange while he was touring in Vancouver and splitting off from G Unit.
He says the call began with a surprise message from his manager who told him Jackson was on the line. According to The Game, he then waited nearly half an hour as Jackson’s team kept him on hold before the pop superstar finally joined the call. Once Jackson arrived he went straight to business and focused on The Game’s breakout hit “How We Do” which was dominating the charts that year. The Game says Jackson repeatedly called the record “magical” and broke down the specific parts of the track that caught his attention.
As The Game tells it, Jackson praised the vocal blend between him and 50 Cent and complimented the production that helped the single climb. Jackson’s tone was described as energized as he highlighted what he enjoyed about the sound and delivery on the record. The Game says that level of interest surprised him given the public tension between him and 50 at the time.
The conversation then shifted to the G Unit fallout. The Game says Jackson asked directly why he and 50 were clashing and pushed them to squash it. And, he offered an opportunity for a collaboration for his next album. He says he rejected the suggestion and eventually hung up on MJ.
Damn…Michael Jackson tried to mediate a Hip-Hop dispute and also praised their music. How strange.
This is not the first time he’s said it…but he does not say he hung up on MJ. He also does say that he and MJ never spoke again. The Game and 50 Cent in The Documentary era was one of the most public, insane feuds of that era.
Diddy is under renewed legal scrutiny in New York after accuser April Lampros demanded he disclose whether he underwent STD testing following alleged sexual assaults in the 1990s.
In a newly filed court document, Lampros’s attorney submitted 155 “requests for admission,” pressing the Hip-Hop mogul to confirm or deny a series of pointed accusations.
The final section of the filing zeroes in on sexually transmitted infections, asking Diddy to admit whether he was tested before a mid-1990s encounter with Lampros, to reveal any positive results and to state whether he ever informed her of any potential risk.
The filing pushes further, asking Diddy to acknowledge if he withheld test results, avoided using protection during sex and knowingly exposed Lampros to emotional and physical harm.
It also alleges he had unprotected sex with multiple women during the 1990s and 2000s without disclosing his status and seeks an admission that he knew this could cause severe distress.
These claims are part of the civil lawsuit Lampros filed in May 2024, accusing Diddy of repeatedly drugging and sexually assaulting her while she was a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology and interning at Arista Records.
She alleges he lured her with promises of mentorship, then raped her at Manhattan’s Millennium Hotel, assaulted her in a parking garage and forced her into a threesome with his then-girlfriend Kim Porter after coercing her to take ecstasy.
While many of her allegations were ruled time-barred, Diddy still faces a serious claim that his actions were motivated by gender-based animus. The latest filing reads like a comprehensive breakdown of Lampros’ accusations spanning a decade-long relationship.
She asks Diddy to admit he brought her into the Bad Boy circle with promises of industry access, flew her to Miami and Atlanta, and deliberately separated her from her support system while maintaining control over her emotionally and sexually.
Lampros also accuses Diddy of secretly recording their sexual encounters, showing the footage to others without her consent and threatening to ruin her career.
Lampros claims he laughed when she told him she lost a job after he and Porter allegedly contacted her employer. Her legal team is also attempting to tie her case to Diddy’s recent federal conviction.
It references testimony from that trial, including claims that he secretly recorded Cassie Ventura during sex, threatened to release the footage, controlled her finances, and isolated her from loved ones, behavior Lampros’ team says mirrors her own experience.
The timing of this legal push coincides with the release of Netflix’s four-part docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which has surged to the top of the platform’s U.S. chart and ranked third globally.
The series, executive produced by 50 Cent and directed by Alexandria Stapleton, revisits decades of abuse allegations and labels Diddy a convicted offender, linking his past conduct to the Mann Act conviction.
Sean Combs: The Reckoning premiered on December 2 and quickly became one of the most-watched series worldwide, topping charts in over 40 countries.
Diddy’s camp has denounced the documentary as a “shameful hit piece” and threatened legal action. His mother also spoke out, calling the series full of lies and “fake narratives.”
Netflix and Fif defended the project, stating that all footage and stories were obtained lawfully.
Meanwhile, the federal case at the heart of Lampros’ filing is not fictional.
A Manhattan jury convicted Diddy on July 2, 2025, of two Mann Act violations. He was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking but sentenced on October 3 to 50 months in prison, a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release.
He is currently serving that sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey.
Bianca Censori stunned Seoul with a provocative performance art debut featuring masked women posed as household objects and herself clad in a latex bodysuit.
The Australian designer introduced her latest creative venture, “Bio Pop (The Origin),” at a performance space in South Korea’s capital on December 11 and 12, 2025.
The installation challenged viewers with a surreal blend of eroticism and domestic symbolism, placing human bodies at the center of the exhibit—literally.
Censori stood at the forefront of the display wearing a red latex bodysuit with a pointed cone bra, reminiscent of Madonna’s iconic look. She completed the outfit with matching boots, reinforcing her pattern of headline-grabbing fashion statements.
The installation included women masked and arranged as functional items, lamps, chairs, and other home furnishings, described in official materials as “furniture.”
Their stylized, restrained poses aimed to question how the human body is viewed and used in domestic settings.
According to the project description, “Bio Pop” explores “the body inside the language of the domestic.” The Seoul show marked the first installment in what Censori says will be a multi-year international series.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, attended the event, showing public support for his wife amid ongoing speculation about their relationship. His appearance at the show helped quell online rumors of a split.
The concept drew comparisons to Marina Abramović’s endurance-based performance art, which pushes physical and psychological boundaries. Like Abramović, Censori is using the human form as both subject and medium.
Censori’s previous public appearances, including a revealing look at the Grammy Awards, have kept her in the spotlight. This latest project only amplified that visibility, as clips from the Seoul event circulated widely on social media.
The event was first teased through cryptic Instagram posts that read, “BIO POP (THE ORIGIN) – SEOUL, KOREA DECEMBER 11TH/12TH 2025.”
The vague announcement stirred curiosity among her 500,000 followers.
Future installations are already in development, with plans to expand the Bio Pop project to other global cities. Each stop will focus on a different theme related to domesticity and objectification.
The Seoul exhibition wraps up on December 12, 2025.
