Sway Calloway: I always wanted to ask you about Child Rebel Soldier.
Lupe Fiasco: Why you keep bringing up these contentious-
Sway Calloway: I didn’t know that was contentious.
Lupe Fiasco: Not for reasons that you think. Me and P are cool. Me and Ye are cool. It’s just that the fans feel betrayed.
Sway Calloway: Because the project never happened?
Lupe Fiasco: Yeah, but then they blame me and it’s like, it ain’t my fault. It’s the two richest niggas in the group. Y’all putting it on the poorest nigga in the group to bring this across the finish line. Right? P eating caviar, golden sandwiches. Ye is stitching up two different Rick Owens coats to wear in the shower type shit. I’m trying to corral these two. God damn. Your question though. I cut it off. I’m sorry.
Last week, everything seemed amicable between Cardi B and Offset, as the two were spotted together at Cardi’s grandmother’s 86th birthday celebration. It looked like the divorced couple, who share three children, were keeping things peaceful. But fast forward a few days, and a fresh wave of drama has fans buzzing—this time over Offset’s unexpected appearance at the same NYC nightclub where Cardi was living her best life.
The incident went down at Dream Hospitality Group’s party at The Stafford Room early Sunday morning. TMZ obtained footage showing Cardi enjoying herself, dancing and vibing to the music, oblivious to any potential drama. But that quickly changed when the DJ gave an unexpected shoutout to Offset, announcing his presence in the building. According to eyewitnesses, Cardi seemed startled by the mention, as fans wondered why her ex was at the same venue.
While Cardi was busy twerking and partying like Offset wasn’t even there, fans noticed the tension, especially since the two exes kept their distance throughout the night. Offset stayed on the opposite side of the room, and despite the club being packed with partygoers, the couple avoided any direct interaction. Eyewitnesses confirmed that Cardi and Offset didn’t arrive or leave together, nor did they hang out while at the event. Their time overlapping at the club was brief, with Offset slipping out solo, leaving Cardi to continue the night without any disruption.
Fans, however, aren’t buying that this was a coincidence. Many have accused Offset of stalking Cardi, questioning why he showed up to the same club she was at despite their divorce proceedings. The speculation comes just weeks after Cardi officially filed for divorce in July, requesting primary custody of their children.
As for the couple’s future, only time will tell, but for now, the tension between the two shows no signs of cooling off. Fans remain divided—some rooting for reconciliation, while others believe the best path forward for both rappers is to keep their distance.
Diddy has already lost the key to New York City but will also lose his honor in Miami Beach. According to TMZ, Miami Beach officials are in the final steps of rescinding Diddy’s Key to the City.
The exact cancellation of Dddy’s honor is currently in the air with the threat of Hurricane Milton this week. Diddy was awarded the key by Miami Beach mayor Philip Levine in 2015 at the Revolt Music Conference.
In June, Diddy returned New York City’s Key to the City following a request from Mayor Eric Adams.
Mayor Adams expressed deep concern over a video involving Cassie, prompting him to ask for the prestigious honor back. TMZ obtained letters sent to Diddy’s offices in New York and Los Angeles, detailing the Mayor’s dismay over the incident.
After Mayor Eric Adams stated he would check into revoking Diddy’s key to New York City, the city council urged him to do so.
In case you missed it, in 2023, Diddy received the key from Mayor Adams, who now states he was “deeply disturbed” by the video.
“The committee and team have never rescined a key before, but we are now sitting down to see what the next steps forward are going to be,” Adams said to Pix11. “We are taking everything under analysis and the team will come back to me with a final determination.”
In a statement to TMZ, council member Sandy Nurse says, “Mayor Adams should immediately revoke Diddy’s key to the city. As an abuser, Diddy lost his right to have such an honor and should be held accountable for his actions. Mayor Adams should set the example and take it away.”
Council Member Shaun Abreu added, “Mayor Adams should snatch back Diddy’s key and slam the door behind him. We won’t be missing you.”
Cassie’s lawyers respond to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ apology video posted today:
“That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.” pic.twitter.com/4QxhJjrdXO
2016 footage from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles shows Diddy beating Cassie in the hotel’s hallway.
In the video released by CNN, Diddy is seen running down the hotel hallway in a towel to catch Cassie as she attempts to leave in an elevator. Diddy throws Cassie to the floor by her neck, followed by kicks, stomps and an attempt to drag her down the hall by her hood.
Cassie attempted to use a hotel phone, but Diddy pushed it to the ground again. Later in the video, he throws a vase at the singer.
Cassie’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, released the following statement: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Donald Glover is putting The New World Tour on hold. Speaking on Friday, the artist formerly known as Childish Gambino revealed he is suffering from an “ailment.”
“After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent,” Glover shared “After being assessed, it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked.”
He added, “As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal. My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates.”
Tickets will be returned at the point of purchase.
Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, is speaking out against the charges against her son, referring to them as a “public lynching.” Combs expressed her views in a conversation with Page Six.
“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies,” Janice shared.
“To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”
She added, “I am not here to portray my son as perfect because he is not. He has made mistakes in his past, as we all have.
“My son may not have been entirely truthful about certain things, such as denying he has ever gotten violent with an ex-girlfriend when the hotel’s surveillance showed otherwise.”
