Month: December 2025

This is an exhibition on misinformation.

50 Cent got the internet all in a tizzy over an alleged LeBron James doc lit this week and thanks to social media, here I am. Fans believe a Netflix documentary about Lebron James is in the works. The buzz started moved, and I thought people had noses to smell bulls##t like this. This stinks!

The source of the nonsense was an X account called Hoops Crave, which posted photos of 50 Cent and LeBron James, claiming 50 was set to produce a Netflix documentary.

“This one ain’t about basketball,” was the caption. The narrative was Bron Bron said something about the Diddy doc and inferred there was something on him to be unearthed.

Hoops Crave is a parody account. It even that plainly in its bi. It has nothing to do with the official site Pop Crave. Nobody is looking at that! Even in the parody world, they are not credible. This ain’t The Onion! And, parody warnings don’t get seen after the post goes viral.

Fake is as fake does…just look at the date on that! Comments below.

“Is 50 just always two steps ahead of everyone else? First, Formula 50 Vitamin Water, now this?”

“Worlds are about to be turned upside down. 50 need to stop man.”

“Someone protect 50. He’s whistleblowing too much for his own good.”

What made the rumor feel believable is 50 Cent’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which premiered earlier in the month. Diddy’s dark life, rise and sexual habit made for binge worthy television.

So no, there is no secret LeBron James documentary from 50 Cent on the way. Let this be a reminder of how quickly misinformation spreads unchecked. The truth is in the bed as the lie travels all around the world.

Megan Thee Stallion is back in federal court, demanding a Florida judge reinstate her defamation verdict against blogger Milagro Gramz after it was tossed out over a “media defendant” technicality.

The Grammy-winning rapper accused Gramz of waging an online smear campaign bankrolled by Tory Lanez’s family.

Megan’s attorneys said the jury had already ruled in her favor on all counts, including defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and promotion of an altered sexual depiction.

But after the jury also answered that Gramz was a “media defendant,” the judge removed the defamation count from the final judgment, citing Florida’s pre-suit notice law for journalists.

Megan Thee Stallion and her lawyers argue the move was a “manifest legal error.” The court, they said, had previously ruled twice that Gramz was not a media defendant and therefore not entitled to those protections.

“This case should have been tried and was rightfully tried, on the merits of [Megan Thee Stallion’s] defamation claim,” the filing states.

The rapper’s legal team detailed why Gramz shouldn’t be considered press. According to trial evidence, Milagro Gramz wasn’t neutral or independent; she allegedly acted as a paid mouthpiece for Lanez and his father, Sonstar Peterson.

Megan’s lawyers said Gramz received $3,000 in payments, free travel, and gifts while spreading false claims that Megan lied about being shot.

Texts and Instagram DMs entered into evidence showed Gramz calling herself part of the Peterson family and publicly dismissing journalism ethics as “not applicable” to her.

Jurors heard that Gramz built her “Mob Radio” brand off attacking Megan’s reputation, accusing her of mental illness, alcoholism, and fabricating the 2020 shooting. Despite finding those statements defamatory, jurors became confused by a last-minute legal question added to the verdict form: whether Gramz qualified as a media defendant.

Their “yes” answer led the court to strike the defamation count, though Megan still prevailed on her emotional distress and deepfake video claims.

Megan Thee Stallion and lawyers now seek to restore the defamation verdict, asserting that the “media defendant” question was improper. They said the jury had no authority to decide a legal classification that the court had already settled.

“No court has ever extended media defendant status to a defendant who supplies and receives information to affect criminal proceedings while maintaining a paid and intimate relationship with the accused,” the motion argues.

Megan’s motion asks the judge to strike the jury’s media designation and reinstate the original verdict on defamation per se. The court has yet to rule on her request.

A male sex worker who had freak-offs with Diddy and Cassie and ended up with a sexually transmitted disease is facing stiff opposition from the government in his quest to be labeled a victim of the ex-couple.

Federal prosecutors say Clayton Howard, a self-described male sex worker who once testified before a grand jury about Diddy’s notorious “freak offs,” isn’t legally a victim of anyone.

In a December 23 filing to Judge Arun Subramanian, prosecutors argued Howard does not qualify as a victim under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, even though he was counted as one under sentencing guidelines in Diddy’s criminal case.

The Justice Department is pushing back hard, saying the freak-off participant was not “directly and proximately harmed” by Diddy’s crimes and, by his own admission, was a paid escort who willingly joined those events.

“Howard advertised commercial sex services,” the filing said, noting he has “self-published a book” and “made multiple media appearances” describing his experiences.

Howard’s relationship with the government began in December 2023, when he contacted a friend of Cassie Ventura, claiming to have information about her civil suit against Diddy.

During interviews, Howard admitted he was a commercial sex worker who took part in Diddy and Cassie’s freak-offs between 2010 and 2017 and described witnessing violence by Diddy against Cassie during those encounters.

Prosecutors said Howard participated in at least six interviews before he testified to a federal grand jury in March 2025.

But just before the trial, his lawyer told the government that testifying again would hurt Howard’s mental health. By May 2025, Howard had switched attorneys, and neither side called him as a witness at Diddy’s trial.

After Diddy was convicted of two Mann Act offenses in July 2025, the court counted Howard and other male escorts who traveled interstate for Freak Offs as victims for sentencing purposes—but not under the federal crime victims statute.

Once the verdict came down, Howard started pressing the Justice Department for documents proving his victim status. He also sought help applying to the Backpage Remission Program, which compensates verified trafficking victims.

Prosecutors say that Diddy was never charged with trafficking Howard, and that Howard’s claims of sexual exploitation were aimed chiefly at Cassie Ventura, who was legally recognized as a victim, not a perpetrator of a crime.

In recent public statements and filings, Howard has accused federal prosecutors, including Maurene Comey, of using his story to secure a conviction against Diddy and then “ignoring him” once the case ended.

He says the government denied him rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act and blocked him from testifying about Cassie’s alleged role.

In his separate civil lawsuit against Diddy and Cassie, filed in June 2025, Howard claims he was sexually trafficked, assaulted and infected with herpes after being manipulated into unprotected sex and drug use at the couple’s private gatherings.

He’s seeking $20 million in damages.

A$AP Rocky watched his limited-edition vinyl collection disappear within hours as collectors and scalpers created a feeding frenzy around his upcoming Don’t Be Dumb album merchandise.

The Harlem rapper dropped four exclusive vinyl variants on his AWGE website on December 22, priced at $50 each. Two featured “Mr. Mayers” artwork with one signed edition, while the remaining pair showcased Tim Burton’s “GR1M” and “Dummy” designs, both personally autographed by Rocky.

The entire collection sold out before most fans could grab copies. Resellers immediately flooded eBay with the coveted items at extremely high markup.

Basic unsigned copies now command $100, while signed editions reach $850, a staggering markup that highlights the intense anticipation surrounding Rocky’s first album since 2018’s Testing.

The vinyl chaos comes as A$AP Rocky prepares for his most significant promotional push in years.

A$AP Rocky will make his Saturday Night Live debut as musical guest on January 17, just one day after Don’t Be Dumb hits streaming platforms on January 16. The SNL appearance gives Rocky a massive national stage to showcase new material from the 17-track project.

Don’t Be Dumb represents Rocky’s most ambitious artistic collaboration yet, featuring cover art designed by legendary filmmaker Tim Burton, whom he spent months courting. The project faced multiple delays throughout 2024 due to sample clearance complications and unauthorized leaks, forcing him to push back an originally planned August 2024 release date.

The extended timeline only intensified fan demand, creating the perfect storm for yesterday’s vinyl sellout.

Rihanna publicly supported her partner’s album announcement, posting “Let’s Goooo Baby” on social media after Rocky revealed Burton’s cover artwork. The couple’s relationship continues generating headlines as they prepare to welcome their third child together.

The vinyl pre-orders ship in January alongside the album’s digital release, marking the end of a seven-year wait for new A$AP Rocky material.
