Diddy performs onstage during the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. His new album is out now.
Diddy’s The Love Album Drops
I said yesterday that Diddy’s new album, The Love Album: Off the Grid, was dropping and I was gonna listen to it on the way to work. Well, honestly, I forgot to until I was halfway here. But I liked what I have heard! Honestly, I’m going to spend some time with this album because the tracks I heard are really good. Plus, all the guest stars. The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige and so many more. Listen to the new Diddy here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW3UIRU8P-E&list=OLAK5uy_kt9SOprdLeQELUA94OeJdc_WEsC3DdoIU
Tory Lanez final appeal was denied yesterday. He subsequently began serving a 10-year prison term.
Tory Lanez Begins 10-Year Prison Term
Tory Lanez’s final appeal was denied yesterday. He is now headed to prison to start his 10 year term. As you know, he was offered a plea deal for four years, which he turned down. But he was also facing up to 22 years. So, I mean, the 10 years, you know? Not that bad. Apparently his lawyer, Jose Baez, you remember him from the Casey Anthony trial? He wasn’t even present due to prior commitments. And there was this Law & Crime reporter, Meghann Cuniff, who had been covering the trial from beginning to end. I think she’s the one who actually pushed Jose Baez to file the appeal for this guy. Well, Tory turned around and disrespected her on the way out. He called her a “googly-eyed” B-word. Like Mean Jean said, I guess when you’re going to jail you’re gonna be mad. Tory did grin at his supporters and his dad was there when he was taken away.
