Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged drug mule, Brendan Paul, is reportedly off the hook after Florida prosecutors dropped the felony charges against him. 

Paul was arrested for carrying cocaine and marijuana-laced candy back in March after being apprehended at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Cops took him into custody on the same day Homeland Security raided Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami homes as part of their sex trafficking investigation. 

The 25-year-old was held on bond after being charged with cocaine possession and possession of a controlled substance. 

Additionally, producer Lil Rod named Paul in his sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy. He claimed Paul was a drug mule who allegedly acquired and distributed drugs and guns to the Hip-Hop mogul. 

The producer claimed he personally witnessed Paul engage in these activities on multiple occasions.  

In May, Paul accepted a plea deal with prosecutors for the cocaine possession charge. As a first-time offender, he managed to avoid jail time, agreeing to enroll in a drug diversion program. 

His attorney, Brian Bieber, claimed the case against Paul would be “dismissed in its entirety,” upon completion of the program. 

On Tuesday (December 17) Florida state prosecutors dropped the remaining charge, NBC6 reports.  

Bieber confirmed to the outlet, “Mr. Paul’s case was formally dismissed today – in its entirety.” 

While his alleged drug mule is now a free man, Diddy remains behind bars. He’ll be spending Christmas behind bars after recently dropping his bail appeal.  

Diddy pleaded not guilty to serious federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. He remains held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. His trial is set for May 2025.

Megan Thee Stallion has reportedly filed for a civil restraining order against Tory Lanez over his alleged continued harassment. 

On Tuesday (December 17), the Texan rapper requested the restraining order, asking that the Los Angeles Superior Court judge prevent Lanez from orchestrating harassment against her through social media and third parties. 

Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team produced records of alleged Zelle payments between Lanez’s father, Sonstar Peterson, and blogger Milagro Gramz. 

Meg filed a lawsuit against Gramz earlier this year, accusing her of waging a cyberstalking campaign on behalf of Tory Lanez. She sued for defamation, harassment, and cyberstalking, which she claims caused significant emotional and reputational harm.   

The Zelle records show Lanez’s father made six payments to the blogger between October 2020 and March 2022, totaling $3,000. 

Megan accuses Lanez of engaging in “psychological warfare,” which she says has deeply affected her mental health.  

In the document, Megan stated she “sometimes wishes Tory would have shot and killed me, if I would have known I was going to go through this torture.” 

The “HISS” hitmaker, real name Megan Pete, claims Lanez has continued to harass her from prison.  

“Despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Ms. Pete, Mr. Peterson continues to subject her to repeated trauma and revictimization,” the filing alleges. 

Additionally, in a recent filing, Megan Thee Stallion’s attorneys produced recordings of Lanez’s prison calls. In one alleged call, Lanez and his father “confidently asserted” Megan “would be unable to prove” Lanez paid Gramz for “attacking” her.  

The complaint accuses Gramz, who is represented by Tory Lanez attorneys, of “consciously coordinating,” with the singer to amplify his “disproven and baseless theories to help him seek retribution” against Megan Thee Stallion.

It looks like we’re about to see some real fireworks in the new year. A lot of people talk the talk, but allegedly, these two are ready to walk the walk.

I can finally talk about this now. I’ve known for a while that Crazy Legs and Lord Jamar were set to fight each other in the Bahamas. Originally, this showdown was scheduled for Super Bowl weekend. However, due to a venue issue, the fight is no longer taking place on that date.

Let’s rewind a bit. This whole situation began during the Hip-Hop 50 celebrations. A side conversation emerged about Hip-Hop’s origins and where Latinos fit into the culture. I won’t dive too deep into the negativity and nuances, but let’s just say Crazy Legs and Lord Jamar didn’t see eye to eye. Things got heated—extremely heated—on Instagram.

It escalated to the point where Crazy Legs, the pioneering breaker and B-boy, challenged Brand Nubian rapper Lord Jamar to a fight—an actual fistfight! Initially, it appeared that Lord Jamar wasn’t interested. However, it seems he reconsidered once the right price was involved. Enter Celebrity Boxing, who reportedly stepped in and arranged the fight.

The problem? A new post by Crazy Legs suggests that Lord Jamar might not be as ready to step into the ring as everyone thought.

I can’t say for sure, but that’s the vibe I’m getting. Crazy Legs, on the other hand, looks absolutely ready to rumble. In fact, in a recent video, he’s seen wrapping his hands, clearly preparing to throw down. I’ve got to say, it looks menacing.

Now, let’s get to the big questions:

1. Do you want to see this fight?
2. Who do you think would win?
3. Should this even be happening?

Both men are in their mid to late 50s, and at that age, physical fights can get risky. But maybe not for these two alpha men. We saw that Mike Tyson scrap. Who knows—maybe they’ll give us a true “Hip-Hop heavyweight bout.”

Either way, this feels like it could get as wild as a Blueface fight… but with way more history behind it.

Lil Wayne isn’t the only rap veteran to come into the lyrical crosshairs of Kendrick Lamar. Like his New Orleans counterpart, Snoop Dogg reached out to the former Top Dawg Entertainment artist as a result.

Snoop, fresh off the release of the Dr. Dre-produced Missionary album, recently sat down with Bootleg Kev’s podcast, where he opened up about contacting Lamar after he name-dropped him on his GNX album track “wacced out murals” over inadvertently instigating the Drake beef.

As the West Coast legend addressed the situation, he revealed that he called Lamar after realizing he had reposted Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” on his personal social media, though his initial post imploring Lamar to respond suggests otherwise. Snoop explained that he supports Lamar’s remarks on the song and insists that he initially didn’t grasp the gravity of Drake’s diss track.

“That’s my nephew, man,” Snoop Dogg said. “He’s a rapper, man. He’s supposed to speak his mind and tell his truth. That’s the way he felt. You know what I’m saying? He has the right to say that. I’m his big homeboy, so I have to take what’s given to me from his perspective because he’s speaking truth. And the truth shouldn’t hurt you. It should make you better.”

He continued, “He feels that I shouldn’t have played that. Damn, I was on them edibles, my n#gga. I gotta be more careful. You right, nephew.”

Snoop Dogg further clarified how the situation unfolded, saying he had unknowingly collaborated on a post that featured the diss track because he was mistakenly under the impression that it was a promotion for he and Dr. Dre’s fledging spirit brand.

“What happened was, I did a collaborative post with someone…” he said. “So when I post it, I’m thinking I’m posting Gin and Juice. I don’t know what song this is. I’m not hip to everybody’s music.”

After realizing his mistake, Snoop said he wasted no time reaching out to Lamar.

“Then I get the word, ‘Nephew didn’t like what you did.’” he recalled. “‘What did I do?’ ‘You played some music’. ‘What music?’ Then I had to go look at it. I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cuz… damn.’ So then I deleted it, called nephew, left him a message ’cause he ain’t pick up. He was working on his s#it. I left him a message. ‘I apologize. I was f#cked up, my bad’.”

When asked about Drake’s use of his voice in the controversial AI-generated “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Snoop distanced himself from the situation.

“Man, I don’t want to be in nobody’s s#it, man,” he said. “I like being on my own s#it. When it comes to beef, that’s a real parameter that I do have. I don’t get in nobody’s beef. I’m usually the one who ends the beef.”

In April, when Drake originally posted the diss, Snoop appeared to do the opposite and egged the situation on in a humorous and sarcastic post.

“They did what?” he wrote in the caption. “When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y’all have a good night. Why everybody calling my phone, blowing me up? What the f#ck— what happened? What’s going on? I’m going back to bed. Good night.”

Snoop ended the conversation after sharing his brief thoughts on the legal complaints Drake has filed against Spotify and Universal Music Group regarding Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss.

“Next question,” he said with a laugh, before concluding with a final nod to West Coast culture. “You know, we on the West, we hold court in the streets.”

Fat Joe recently shared his candid thoughts on why he’s staying out of the ongoing feud between estranged Hip-Hop husband-and-wife duo Remy Ma and Papoose.

The New York rap vet explained his rationale during his recent appearance on the Math Hoffa podcast while addressing Remy and Papoose’s recent social media spat over boxer Claressa Shields. Despite his history as a peacemaker and bridge between the rappers he considers family, the Bronx legend revealed that this situation hits too close to home for him to get involved. Joe began by explaining how he found out about the tension mere hours after he spent a night celebrating with his “All The Way Up” collaborator.

“She [Remy Ma] never tells me her personal relationship business, but what I know is I left y’all last night, we went to Brooklyn Chophouse, she treated 10 grown men to dinner, and I woke up in the morning and my phone was going crazy,” Fat Joe said in part. “They was like, ‘Yo, look what’s going on. I’m like, what the f###?’”

Fat Joe admitted it’s a tough situation when asked how he manages his relationship with both Remy and Papoose.

“Because of him, she made me love him,” he said, emphasizing his bond with Papoose. “I really love him that’s my goddaughter’s father. It’s a whole bunch of, you know, I’m like, I try to tell y’all I’m old school morals and s###. So like with me, it’s like, damn, like I’m the godfather. These people pass away, I raise the baby. I don’t like none of that s###.”

Despite his love for both of them, Joe made it clear that he doesn’t see himself as the right person to mediate.

“What I can’t do is stop it, or they won’t listen to me,” he admitted. “The first time she ever asked me for advice, I said, ‘Listen, it’s different. You have a husband, this is your husband’. Nobody come to my house, tell my wife s#it. This is your husband, I can’t get in the middle of that s#it.”

Fat Joe also spoke about the emotional weight of the situation, particularly because of the couple’s child.

“My goddaughter is the most beautiful kid in the world,” he said. “She’s so… you know, I wish this didn’t happen.”

When asked about shielding children from public drama, Joe also reflected on his own experience navigating a public disagreement as a celebrity by explaining how his son reacted during his infamous beef with 50 Cent.
