Diddy Allegedly Blew Up Kalenna Harper's Phone With 58 Calls After Dawn Richard's Lawsuit

Diddy is currently behind bars at the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after he and his legal team unsuccessfully argued that he should get out on bail at his arraignment on Tuesday. One key part of the prosecution's case against letting him back onto the street was concerns that he might attempt to contact alleged victims and witnesses, according to Rolling Stone. They referenced the Bad Boy mogul allegedly blowing up his Dirty Money bandmate Kalenna Harper's cellphone after the group's other member, Dawn Richard, accused him of sexual abuse, sex trafficking, fraud, and more in a lawsuit. The state claims he contacted Harper 128 times through calls and texts over the course of just four days.

Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson argued in the courtroom: "Witnesses have universally expressed fear of the defendant." Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, had offered to pay $50 million for bail and said that his client would remain on house arrest in Miami with constant surveillance. Judge Robyn Tarnofsky wasn't impressed by the offer. "This is a crime that happens behind closed doors, even when pretrial services is monitoring," she ruled, as caught by CNN.

Agnifilo still intends to appeal the ruling, telling reporters outside of the courtroom: “He’s going to clear his name and we’re going to stand by his side as he does. We believe in him wholeheartedly. He came here to turn himself in. Why doesn’t the government want him to turn himself in? Because then they can’t ask for detention. All we can do is show good faith. He got on a plane and he came here. They arrested a guy who came here to turn himself in.”

Diddy's attorneys have also sent a letter to the judge labeling the conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn "horrific." Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Kanye West Accused By Redditors Of Egregious AI Use On "VULTURES 2"

You could make a very good argument that Kanye West (unfortunately) is starting to lose that creative magic he once possessed for so long. Overall, you're not going to find many hip-hop fans who feel that rapper, singer, and producer had a mediocre record from 2004-2021. However, the conversation surrounding his VULTURES era is vastly different. Yes, there are going to be some way too loyal Ye stans who swear that his last two projects have been good. But in general, both entries into this unfinished trilogy are a far cry from his previous efforts. Many have been fed up with how messy and lifeless the tracks are on them, and diligent Redditors claim to have one major reason as to why.

After receiving VULTURES 2, some listeners felt there was some use of AI, particularly on "SKY CITY" with CyHi's verse. Users on the forum are claiming that there's hardly any doubt that these suspicions are true. However, they feel Kanye didn't stop there. Other tracks include "FIELD TRIP", citing "rough punch-in vocals of him doing lines Ty Dolla $ign did on the full CDQ leak" as the source. Furthermore, "FOREVER", which was recently updated with a new Ye verse, sounds off in the cadence and flow department. For this one, they claim to have the exact AI model that was utilized.

Redditors Believe They Have Exposed Kanye West's AI Usage

Finally, Redditors also feel that they have evidence for a recent unreleased Skepta and Kanye collab. As it stands, contributors are pretty positive that "SKY CITY", "FOREVER", and the Skepta track are "almost certainly" containing AI. Then, "FIELD TRIP" and the highly sought after Childish Gambino cut, "Say Less", are "speculated to be containing AI vocals. Overall, commenters are pretty disappointed as they think that his best days are gone and are missing "the old Kanye".

What are your thoughts on Redditors claiming to have evidence of Kanye West using AI for VULTURES 2?Are you buying this? Is Kanye starting to fall off, why or why not? Do you think him and Ty Dolla $ign should still deliver the third album in this trilogy? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.
