Diddy Looking To Hire Young Thug’s Lawyer Brian Steele – The R Report

Diddy is hoping lawyer Brian Steel can work the same magic in his sex trafficking case as he did in Young Thug‘s YSL RICO trial. Just weeks before his own trial is expected to start, the embattled Bad Boy boss is looking to beef up his legal team with the addition of Steel, who earned much praise for the way he represented Thugger in his aforementioned case, which saw the Atlanta rapper freed from jail on a plea deal. Steel filed a motion on Tuesday (April 15) asking the court to allow him to defend the rap mogul, who faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Jury selection in the trial is currently set to begin on May 5, followed by opening statements a week later on May 12. Here’s something I didn’t expect to write:Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel has joined Sean “Diddy’ Combs’ criminal defense team. pic.twitter.com/1PD3g3ksr4— Meghann Cuniff (@meghanncuniff) April 15, 2025 It has also been reported that Diddy is looking to further boost his chances at trial by hiring a Black female attorney. His legal team have repeatedly argued that the case is another example of prosecutors trying to take down a rich, successful Black man, but according to TMZ, the new addition would not just be for appearances. Puffy is currently represented by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, who are both white. Prior to his interest in Brian Steel, Diddy had made overtures to A$AP Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina, who recently helped the Harlem rapper win his shooting case and is considered one of the best trial attorneys in the country. https://youtube.com/shorts/ya_2M6E_twM?si=o8qn2lk-bLIBn9rC

The Game Goes In On Kanye West After He Cuts Ties With Him – The R Report

The Game has gone scorched earth on Kanye West after being called out by his “Dreams” collaborator over a perceived act of betrayal. During his latest stream of unfiltered and often inflammatory posts on X (formerly Twitter) this past weekend, Kanye unexpectedly took aim at The Game, one of the few artists who has still publicly supported him throughout his various controversies. The G.O.O.D. Music founder took issue with the Compton native buddying up to Top 5, the Toronto rapper and Drake affiliate who he recently accused of threatening him. “Why Game who I have two Maybachs to is showing love to Top 5 who calls threatening to kill me. Welp. I guess I’m not executive producing that album anymore,” Ye wrote, referencing The Game’s upcoming LP The Documentary 3. The Game quickly hit back, writing on Instagram: “Fuck you and yo Maybachs little [ninja emoji]. I’ll be back in LA in a week, come and get em yo self!!! I ain’t never asked yo weird a%% for nothing & when you gave me the cars, I said you ain’t have to & I was good but you insisted. “Then you hit me with the ‘you ain’t never have to worry bout nothing ever in your life, I owe you for being the only solid [ninja emoji] outta everybody.’ Got my number but won’t call like a man & address a situation you asked me to fix. Pussy. Nobody on earth weirder than these industry [ninja emoji].” https://youtu.be/QTbGjomJPuU?si=U6IIsfho3-_FkjPJ

Drake Talks New Album, & Potential Celebrity Boxing Match – The R Report

Drake is already working on a new album, despite just releasing $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with PARTYNEXTDOOR in February. The 6 God shared the news on Sunday (April 13) during his latest Stake gambling livestream with Adin Ross, hyping up his next full-length effort as a “slap.” “Working on a new album right now,” he said, before confirming that it will be a solo project. “It’s a slap.” Elsewhere during the stream, Drake was asked whether he’d ever step into the ring for a celebrity boxing match, but quickly answered “no” with a dismissive look on his face. However, he did say that he is open to squabbling up away from the camera and seemed to have an opponent in mind. After Ross joked, “I know who I want you to fight,” alluding to Kendrick Lamar, Drake replied: “If we’re fighting, we’ll fight at [Hollywood] Hino’s gym or something like that — behind closed garage doors.” Glasses Malone previously said that Kendrick did actually want to fight Drake. Appearing on the BagFuel podcast earlier this year and discussing whether Drizzy would be in any danger visiting L.A., Malone said: “The only person who wants to kick Drake’s ass is Dot. Dot really wants to kick his ass. “That n-gga don’t let [stuff] go. Kendrick, for sure, don’t let nothing go. Shout out to the whole TDE family — them n-ggas hold on to everything. If you say some shit, them n-ggas probably remember what you said to them in fourth grade.” He added: “Everybody thinks Kendrick is this good kid in the mad city. This n-gga is not that good of a kid! He’s a mean person, bro. There’s a confusion ’cause of the title of that album, but I don’t think people listened to the material. https://youtu.be/SoJMV9hL1BY?si=e3D-kLsz0QYfv9xT

The 50 Cent & Ja Rule War of Words Continues – The R Report

50 Cent and Ja Rule‘s long-running feud has reescalated after the latter said he was ready to “go nuclear” on his old enemy over his disrespectful comments about the late Irv Gotti. Appearing on The Breakfast Club last week, Ja revealed that he was angry about 50 mocking the recent death of his close friend and former Murder Inc. label boss Gotti, but was talked out of responding to him by Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff. 50 fired back shortly after, posting a clip of Ja’s comments on Instagram and writing: “The Breakfast Club should be ashamed of themselves asking questions that perpetuate violence. This fool has been ready to go what he calls nuclear for 22 years. LOL.” The G-Unit mogul then further taunted the late Gotti by adding: “Ya man in my Runtz right now!” 50’s sneering post (which has since been deleted) caused Ja Rule to launch into a social media rant in which he rubbished his career, brought up the 2000 attempt on his life and even accused his longtime nemesis of being a snitch. “@50cent SUCK MY DICK you bitch ass n-gga… I already ate your lunch shut up!!!” he wrote on X. “Until you do something to the n-ggas that shot you you can’t troll no more… [laughing face emoji] handle your business chump lmao… He added: “@50cent N-gga you’re a used car salesman everything you do is trash music 1 good album after that trash liquor trash tv shows yeah I said it TRASH how many times you gonna make the same show that coke stepped on parenting trash character trash n-gga you the garbage man… [laughing face emoji]. “From now on your name boo boo that’s what they called you on the streets right lmfao… boo boo the fool… [laughing face emoji] 50 cent is a street n-gga from Brooklyn you boo boo from Queens… Mc gusto cb4 ass n-gga… [laughing face emoji].” https://youtu.be/eQ89rsIzevw?si=kLHVYUqQBaahJS12

His legacy speaks for itself, and he still has fun playing the game. “We all know that Dwight Howard can do more on the basketball court than he was able to show in the NBA. So, it’s going to be nice to see him open up his game and show his all-around skills on the court in the BIG3.” The N.W.A legend and BIG3 owner added: “He’s a perfect fit for the league, not just because of his athleticism and size but also due to our shared desire to grow the game of basketball around the world. “We are honored that he has chosen to bring his game and star power to the BIG3. I look forward to seeing him challenge our three-on-three stars this summer and see if he can win himself another championship.” https://youtu.be/xIFZiy1zZKk?si=0ifGAjt6R8Eio2GK

According to Chart Data, the Canadian superstar has become the artist with the most cumulative weeks charting on the Billboard 200, surpassing the legendary British rock band. Drake’s albums have now collectively spent over 3,348 weeks on the chart, a streak that dates back over a decade and a half to 2009’s So Far Gone.

Travis Scott Hints At Rereleasing “Owl Pharaoh” On Streaming Platforms – The R Report

Travis Scott made chart history when he re-released his decade-old mixtape Days Before Rodeolast year – and he plans to one day do the same with his 2013 debut mixtape, Owl Pharaoh. In his new cover story for Complex, La Flame was asked about putting the tape on streaming services as he was reflected on the aforementioned success of Days Before Rodeo‘s re-release. “Yeah, definitely. For sure,” he said. “I’m just thinking about the right time for that.” While Days Before Rodeo arrived on streamers for its 10th anniversary, that milestone has since passed for Owl Pharaoh – but there’s always the 15-year mark in 2028! As for DBR‘s chart history – after initially debuting at number two with over 360,000 equivalent units before tumbling down the chart down to number 106, the project saw a historic surge to the top spot thanks almost entirely to vinyl sales. According to Billboard, Days Before Rodeo earned 156,000 equivalent units in its fourth week, with 149,000 of that figure comprised of vinyl sales which were made exclusively through the rapper’s website. It’s the biggest ever sales week for a rap album on vinyl, and the sixth largest across all genres since tracking began in 1991. Scott previously held the record within Hip Hop with his 2023 album Utopia, which sold 93,000 viny copies in a single week. https://youtu.be/yK8QSfkcPjM?si=qwCB3IoDZUyO7HKM

Young Thug: Judge Denies DA’s Motion To Revoke His Probation – The R Report

Young Thug will not be headed back to jail over his recent social media post, despite what the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office tried to argue. As previously reported, the D.A.’s office filed a motion in court on Wednesday (April 2) saying Thugger should be sent back to prison because, as they put it, he leveled threats at a police detective. They accused the rapper of “escalating threats and witness intimidation” in a since-deleted social media post about Fulton County Investigator Marissa Viverito, who is currently in the process of testifying in a sprawling gang murder preliminary hearing linked to Lil Baby. The rapper is currently serving 15 years’ probation as a result of a plea deal he agreed in the RICO case against him and his YSL crew last year. Writing that his “continued presence in the community under probationary supervision presents a clear and present danger to public safety and undermines the rule of law,” prosecutors sought to revoke his probation – but a judge has just denied the motion. According to TMZ, Judge Whitaker said his post wasn’t a good idea, but it’s not bad enough to send him back behind bars. “Having reviewed the terms and conditions of Defendant’s probation imposed by this Court, the Court declines to revoke Defendant’s probation based on the violation asserted,” Whitaker wrote. She did add, though, that “it may be prudent for Defendant to exercise restraint regarding certain topics.” Reacting to the DA’s initial filing on Wednesday, Young Thug had denied any wrondgoing, writing on X: “I don’t make threats to people I’m a good person, I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love.” His attorney Brian Steel also said in a statement: “This motion is baseless. While intimidation and threats of violence are never appropriate, Jeffery Williams has done nothing wrong. We look forward to seeking a dismissal of this petition.” https://youtu.be/d9bCjAGHKkM?si=WiHzXlWNTfg5M9hZ

Yella Beezy Released From Jail On $750K – The R Report

Yella Beezy has been released from jail on $750k bond, where he was being held for an alleged murder-for-hire plot in the death of Mo3. Five years after Mo3 (real name Melvin Noble Jr.) was shot and killed in his hometown of Dallas, Beezy was indicted over the fatal attack on March 20 following a grand jury verdict. His bond was listed at $2 million, but according to CBS News, it was reduced to $750k during a bond hearing on Thursday (March 27) and he was able to bail out by paying 10 percent of it under Texas bail bond laws. That same day, footage of the 2020 murder of Mo3 was released, showing the rapper being chased on foot on a highway in broad daylight. Beezy’s lawyers tell TMZ that the prosecutor has entered the shooting video into evidence. However, they added: “We look forward to fighting the case in court — Yella denies the charges.” Yella Beezy, who is best known for the 2017 hit “That’s On Me,” is accused of “orchestrating” the killing and hiring someone to shoot his rival. The 28-year-old was then shot several times, with the entire incident captured on nearby security cameras. Two men have previously been arrested in connection with the murder. Kewon Dontrell White and Devin Maurice Brown were both indicted in 2021 on various charges over their alleged involvement. The new indictment claims that Beezy hired White to commit the murder. White is currently serving a nine-year sentence on gun and drug charges related to the murder.

Diddy Claims He’ll Beat Charge In Jail Call With Kanye West – The R Report

Diddy is certain he will beat the charges against him and be a free man soon enough, and shared those sentiments during a recent phone call with Kanye West. In a call between the pair obtained by The Shade Room, the embattled mogul pushed Ye to get back to having fun with music and thanked him for being the “only one” to check on both him and his kids while he’s behind bars. “When I get out I want to see you fucking tear down the stadiums,” Puff said. “I need to see you back on that stage actually rapping and fucking performing and everything.” Later in the call, he added, “This shit is fucking sad, n-gga. I’m Puff Daddy in jail. This shit is fucking sad as a muthafucka, b. The devil is a liar. “When I get out and get that fucking freedom, whew! I am not caring about nothing but muthafuckin’ being happy and I want you to feel that. […] You be careful out there because they definitely trying to end us. They can’t do it and they ain’t gon’ do it. I’m gonna beat this shit and get next to you and we gon’ raise our families and become the kings that we supposed to be.” Meanwhile, Diddy’s upcoming sex trial has been delayed to give both sides extra time to figure out jury selection, motions and disclosure of evidence. Deadline was in the court room on Friday (March 14), when the embattled mogul appeared for a pre-trial conference. The decision was made to postpone the trial by one week for the aforementioned issues to be ironed out, moving the date from May 5 to now May 12. https://youtu.be/dPgF16WcI0g?si=Mmy-0bWu-L00_HCH

NBA YoungBoy’s Prison Release Date Moved Forward – The R Report

NBA YoungBoy will be home earlier than expected, as his prison release date has been moved up quite a bit. On Thursday (March 20), the Federal Bureau of Prisons database updated his release from July 27 of this year to three months earlier on April 26 – so YB will be home in just over a month. The controversial rapper previously agreed to a plea deal for a gun possession charge, as well as his involvement in a prescription medication fraud scheme. The result was a 23 month sentence, five years of probation and a $200,000 fine. He also had to give up the guns in question to the authorities. That deal appears to have since been amended, with YoungBoy receiving a sentencing reduction to include time served up until May 2024. Earlier this week, Birdman’s brother, Terrance “Gangsta” Williams, alleged that NBA YoungBoy had been thrown into solitary confinement at FCI Talladega federal prison in Alabama for hitting a Mississippi man “with a two-piece” who had yelled out Lil Durk‘s crew name “OTF” upon seeing the rapper. There is a history of beef between the pair and their respective crews, and it’s possible the man was just trying to bait YB without even actually being a part of OTF. But to Williams, YB is “in there standing on business,” and it apparently has not affected his prison release date. Back in 2023,YB admitted that his beef with Durk is all for “entertainment” after Gillie Da Kid said he wanted the two to squash their feud. “If both of them could hit the stage in the same night, it could show the young’uns that that shit ain’t that serious,” the rapper-turned-podcaster said. “The beef ain’t that serious. None of this drama is that serious.” In a video he captioned, “It ain’t what you think OG all this shit entertainment,” YoungBoy appeared to accept Gillie’s request while acknowledging he is still under house arrest. The Baton Rouge rap star also revealed that he and Lil Durk, who have been beefing on and off since 2021, talk every “two or three nights” about music. Durk later responded to YoungBoy, although it appears their issues are not yet settled as the Chicago rapper accused his rival of sending him a false home address. “You lied bout sending the address 7x when I asked I’m finna grab my coat 1 more time send the address,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories. YoungBoy later clarified the situation by saying in a video that his legal issues were what was stopping Durk from visiting his home.
