Month: December 2025

Blueface owes more than $130,000 to a woman who won a defamation case against him while he was in prison. The rapper got out of jail in November 2025 after serving 21 months, but still faces a massive $13 million lawsuit over a strip club shooting.

Jackilyn Martinez filed her lawsuit in December 2023 after Blueface posted on social media suggesting that Soulja Boy’s 2-year-old child could be his. Martinez is the boy’s mother. The rapper never responded to the case and lost by default.

Judge Peter Hernandez awarded Martinez $123,245 in April, which includes $100,000 for her pain and suffering. With interest, the judgment has grown to about $131,655 according to MyNewsLA.

The judge ordered that royalties collected by BMI and ASCAP on Blueface’s behalf be assigned to Martinez.

Martinez said she suffered “severe emotional and mental distress, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks and crying spells” from Blueface’s statements. She also said she has not been intimate with the rapper since 2018.

Blueface was sentenced to four years in prison in August 2024 for violating his probation from a 2021 assault case. He was convicted of attacking a security guard at a North Hollywood lounge after being asked to leave. The rapper served his time at North Kern State Prison.

He got out in November 2025 after serving about 21 months. His early release surprised many people. His family announced his freedom on social media.

Since getting out, Blueface has returned to music. He dropped his first single since prison, called “Babygirl,” featuring Hazel-E in the music video. The track marked his comeback after nearly two years behind bars.

But the rapper faces much bigger legal problems.

He owes over $13 million in a separate civil lawsuit over a strip club shooting. A Nevada judge ordered him to pay Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club $13 million to cover lost revenues and lease payments after a 2022 shooting.

The shooting happened in October 2022 outside the Las Vegas strip club. The incident forced the venue to permanently shut down. Blueface has also been ordered to pay over $1 million in interest, in addition to the $13 million in damages.

Blueface has been trying to rebuild his finances through music and streaming.

J Diggs was hit with a 10-year sentence in Rogers County after cops found four pounds of weed and $11,745 cash in his car during a May 2020 traffic stop near Catoosa.

The Bay Area rapper was found guilty on four marijuana-related charges in November. Judge Stephen R. Pazzo handed down the sentence on December 16.

“I could smell marijuana coming from the vehicle from the back bumper before I even said hello,” Deputy Ron Walker

Diggs will serve four years each for three counts: possession with intent to distribute, conspiracy to distribute, and possession without Oklahoma’s required tax stamp for medical marijuana.

Those sentences run at the same time. Then he was hit with six more years for acquiring proceeds from drug activity, which ran after the first four years.

“At some point, it becomes clear that it’s not for personal use,” said Rogers County District Attorney Matt Ballard. “By the time you get to 4 pounds, clearly that isn’t for personal use, that’s to sell.”

The 41-year-old rapper has been releasing music under the name J Diggs since 2003.

He calls himself “President of Mac Dre’s Thizz Nation” on his Instagram, where he has over 230,000 followers. Mac Dre, who was killed in 2004, helped start the “hyphy” Hip-Hop scene that Diggs belongs to.

Diggs has been beefing with music manager Wack 100 on social media for years. The feud heated up when Diggs released a diss track called “3 Finger Wack” in 2023, targeting Wack 100 directly.

The beef started over comments Wack 100 made about Diggs and has played out across Instagram and YouTube interviews. Diggs has three prior felony convictions in other states for guns and drugs.

He also spent 10 years in prison for conspiracy to rob a bank. The jury originally wanted to give Diggs 18 years, but the judge showed some mercy, handing down a 10-year sentence.

50 Cent is quiet. Maino, Jim Jones, Fabolous, and Dave East all decided to rap over Fif’s instrumentals and poke the bear on Christmas Day. We all leaned forward. Normally, this is where the explosion happens. Someone says something. Someone tweets something. Heck, even a meme drops. Silence is not what he expect and that’s got me suspicious.

The verses themselves were mostly light sparring. Jim Jones showed some aggression but never really crossed the street and rang the doorbell. LOL! Fabolous, however, did not come to play. The Brooklyn veteran went straight for 50’s nerves. He started ddressing the squatter talk head-on and even reference Fif’s baby moms. I heard that and cringed. By the way, people, there was once a time when Fab’s name was mentioned in king of New York conversation. This is the same guy who dropped an album on the exact same day as Jay-Z released The Blueprint and stood on it. That chip-toothed Fab showed up like The Grinch.

That is what makes the absence of a response from 50 Cent so interesting. History says he usually reacts instantly. He does not sit with disrespect. He turns it into content and tries to destroy that other person. But here we are, a full day later, and nothing. So…now we have to ponder.

To be fair, 50 picks his targets carefully these days. He recently took aim at Lil Kim over a video, dragging her over her looks and saying she looks like an alien. Yet Nicki Minaj remains untouched. Interesting. Anyway…

So what is happening now? One theory is strategy. Another is respect. A third is fear, though is a word 50 Cent does not recognize. Fabolous is not a troll! He is a technician on the mic. If this turns lyrical, the playing field changes. Most people do not think 50 well get on the mic.

Maybe Fif is cooking something. Maybe he is letting the internet do the work for him. Or maybe he knows that jumping into a bar-for-bar moment with Fab opens a door he would rather keep closed. There is one other thing: he might be digging up dirt on F-A-B-O. We know he is good for that too.

Either way, we are watching…the clock is ticking.

NLE Choppa announced his engagement to Erica Ravén in a moment capped off the holiday season with an infusion of positivity.

The Memphis rapper, often dubbed NLE The Great, revealed the proposal on Instagram with a short sequence of images that showed him down on one knee offering an engagement ring to his now fiancée.

In the first photo Erica Ravén appeared visibly stunned as the proposal unfolded.

In a later image she lifted her hand toward the camera displaying a diamond ring that sent timelines in a frenzy. The caption was brief stating, “Now That’s Gangsta.” All other images had been removed from NLE Choppa’s IG.

The engagement moved quickly social media with congrats coming from all over.

Rumors that Choppa and Erica were dating only began circulating a few months ago after the pair shared affectionate posts online. In October they uploaded a photo together that fueled speculation about a possible relationship. Weeks before that Choppa had reposted an image originally shared by Ravén on her Instagram story showing the two kissing. Neither addressed the chatter.

The announcement landed during a time where the rapper was mostly known for beefing with NBA YoungBoy. In October, Choppa released “KO” and critiqued NBA YoungBoy for being a bad influence on younger listeners.

Choppa followed up in November with “Hello Revenge” which eventually led to a tense encounter in Houston involving NBA Ben 10 and NBA OG 3three. But, much of that seems to be in the rearview as the engagement now dominates the rapper’s narrative.

Congrats, Choppa and Erica Ravén!

Below are some of our moments with the rapper.

Rubi Rose dropped jaws and raised blood pressure with a holiday lingerie promo that looked more like a striptease than a sales pitch.

She pulled up in a pinstripe blazer with a blazing red bra underneath, no shirt, no shame, all chest. That bra wasn’t hiding a damn thing. It was loud, proud and front-row center.

Hair laid, lighting hitting and her cleavage glistening like it belonged on top of the damn Christmas tree.

First pic?

Rubi’s bent over a mannequin like she’s giving it a private lesson in seduction. Her hands are all over the bra like she’s adjusting the volume. That red-on-skin combo? Wild. The camera’s basically drooling over every curve.

it’s about that time… pic.twitter.com/I13b73fyJA

— Rubi Rose (@RubiRose) December 24, 2025

Then she slides into a chair, leans back like she owns the place, and lets that blazer hang on for dear life. The way she’s posed? The bra’s doing overtime, lifting, shaping, and holding everything like it’s got something to prove. Spoiler: it does.

Next shot, she’s holding the mannequin’s head like she’s about to kiss it or confess her sins. But let’s be real, nobody’s looking at the dummy.

All eyes are locked on that glossy red bra, peeking through her hair. It’s giving “CEO of sexy” and “don’t touch unless you’re on payroll.”

Then boom: she’s standing in front of a Christmas tree like she’s the damn present. Blazer buttoned just enough to tease, bra still peeking like it’s playing peekaboo with your soul.

Naughty list energy with a side of boss chick branding.

Donald Trump lashed out during the holidays after the Department of Justice confirmed the discovery of more than 1 million additional files tied to the late Jeffrey Epstein, reigniting scrutiny over the former president’s past connections to the disgraced financier.

The Justice Department said the documents, uncovered by FBI agents and federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, are being reviewed and redacted before public release. The trove includes grand jury transcripts, internal memos, flight logs, and other materials that could shed new light on Epstein’s network and his 2019 death in federal custody.

Trump, who has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, took to Truth Social with a furious response.

“Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax. When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc. The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country! The Radical Left doesn’t want people talking about TRUMP & REPUBLICAN SUCCESS, only a long ago dead Jeffrey Epstein – Just another Witch Hunt!!!”

The former president’s outburst came days after the DOJ missed a December 19 deadline to release the documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law Trump himself signed in 2020.

Officials now say they need “a few more weeks” to complete redactions and will release the files in stages.

Trump’s holiday message also veered into Epstein territory.

In a lengthy Christmas Day post, he wrote, “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth,” before accusing them of turning on Epstein once “things got too HOT.”

He continued, “When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife ‘Republican,’ Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do.”

The newly discovered documents are part of an ongoing federal investigation into Epstein’s criminal enterprise, including his 2019 arrest and subsequent death. The files include previously unreleased material, including emails, photos, and surveillance footage.

Among the revelations in earlier batches of documents are logs showing Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996.

One 2020 email from a federal prosecutor stated Trump had flown “many more times than previously reported,” sometimes with Ghislaine Maxwell and an unnamed minor.

A redacted FBI file from the same year includes an allegation from a former limo driver who claimed he overheard Trump referencing “Jeffrey” and “abusing some girl.”

The claim, which remains unverified, was included in a batch of documents released under the transparency law.

Also raising eyebrows are photos from Epstein’s estate, turned over to House Democrats, showing a stack of novelty “Trump condoms” with the phrase “I’m HUUUUGE!” printed on the packaging.

The items, sold by a New York novelty shop during Trump’s presidential run, were confirmed by fact-checkers to be authentic but are not considered criminal evidence.

Still, the former president has made it clear he believes the document release is politically motivated.

He has also argued that the focus on Epstein is a distraction from what he calls “TRUMP & REPUBLICAN SUCCESS,” and has called for the names of all individuals tied to Epstein to be made public immediately.

A California artist bought an item from Amazon that she believes is “clearly used.” This experience changed her opinion on how the online retailer handles returns.

TikTok creator Krysten (@krystens_kreations) posted a video about her suspicions earlier this week. 

“I’m starting to wonder if Amazon, when they get returns, are they even checking the returns to see what’s inside?” she asks to start the video. “Because this is probably the fifth time now I have gotten something that is clearly used or parts taken out of it and put back. And the amount of questions that you get asked and photos you have to upload, it’s a bit much.”

California Woman Gets ‘Clearly Used’ Item From Amazon

Krysten explains that she is currently working on a project and ordered an integral component from Amazon. 

“I really need this, but now I’m having to pause,” she says, “because I have to send back something and someone already used it, put the pieces back in the bag, some broken. And I’m stuck waiting for a replacement part now. A little frustrating.”

That led Krysten to a hypothesis about how Amazon handles returns. 

“I have heard that they do throw things away,” Krysten says, “but based on my orders recently, I don’t think that’s true. I think they get the return, they don’t even open it. They just send it to new people.”

Viewers React to California Woman’s ‘Used’ Amazon Art Supplies

In the comments section, viewers weighed in with their opinions on Amazon’s return policy and offered questions of their own.

One person wrote, “As someone who’s worked and been in management in [Amazon’s] returns building in the past. They’re supposed to check (unless it’s still factory sealed and never opened), but do they actually? Definitely not. You wouldn’t believe some of the things that’ve gone through that building.”

A second person said, “My daughter returned a broken purse. I reordered it when it came back in stock. When the order came in it was the same purse she returned with her lost Airpods still inside.”

A third person said, “I’ve started writing all over the box and items with Sharpie when they send me damaged/used/returned items, in hopes that it won’t be sent to another person and they have to deal with it.”

Does Amazon Check Its Returned Items?

Amazon processes returns in a couple of different ways. Shoppers can choose to visit one of the retailer’s 8,000 drop-off kiosks across the United States. In certain cases, the items can be returned in the original manufacturer’s packaging. Refunds are generally processed in five hours. Another option is mailing the package back to Amazon via USPS.

When the package gets to Amazon, it is routed to a return center where employees sort, inspect, and package items that meet criteria for resale. Of course, this is done by people who obviously have different standards for what qualifies as suitable. Items that are damaged or missing components are either returned to the manufacturer, sold to a discount chain, or donated.

Pressure to Perform May Mean Workers Are Less Thorough

A Reddit user posted to r/AmazonFC seven months ago with a question similar to Krysten’s. In the thread, one person wrote, “I work in customer returns, and yeah we do. Or at least most of us do. I don’t know about other departments, but we have to check (or we’re supposed to) everything with a broken seal or tape. Most of my coworkers do check, even if it’s just real quick.”

However, the person explained, “Recently, [management] raised the rate to a ridiculous amount so a lot of people rush through and if the package looks fine they just process it like that to make rate.” Other users said the centers they work in are not as consistent when it comes to checking items, particularly electronics.

It’s not unprecedented for Amazon to be accused of using software to manage worker productivity, and the impacts on workplace safety are widely documented. In a 2023 survey, more than half of Amazon workers reported feeling burned out, and over 40% said they “always/most of the time feel a sense of pressure to work faster.”

The gap between the number of packages Amazon wants processed and the capacity of its workforce is perhaps why the company is reportedly turning to robots. Unfortunately for workers, the company hopes to eventually replace more than half a million of its human workforce with robotic alternatives.
