P Diddy and son Justin accused of rape in new lawsuit
P Diddy's sex-trafficking trial is listening to the defence's closing arguments today, but now the Bad Boy star has been accused of rape in a new lawsuit P Diddy and his son, Justin Combs, have been accused of rape in a new lawsuit. The rapper's current trial, in which he is accused of sex-trafficking, is being presented with the defence's closing arguments today, but Diddy, real name Sean Combs, 55, faces fresh accusations, this time, along with his son. As per the documents obtained by the Mirror US, a Louisiana woman claims she connected with Justin, 33, on Snapchat, before being invited to California where she was told she could further her career in the entertainment industry. She has accused Justin of luring her to his Los Angeles mansion in 2017 to be raped by his father and two other 'masked men.' The woman alleges she was offered alcohol, pills and marijuana before the three men arrived at the home, one of whom she says she believed was Diddy. The rape was said to occur for several hours. Diddy's lawyer denies the allegations. Diddy's team told the Mirror US, 'No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court." It comes as the Tell Me star's bombshell sex trafficking trial nears it's end. Prosecutors finished their closing arguments on Thursday after five hours. Yesterday, the prosecution argued to the jury that Combs is the "leader of a criminal enterprise", who used violence and fear in "brutal crimes" The defence's closing arguments have begun today as defence attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told the jury it's important to remember that none of the alleged victims called the police. Instead, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs for $30m (£22m), of which she ended up winning $20m. The federal case was spurred by that lawsuit, so if Combs wasn't rich, there would be no federal criminal trial, he said. "He's a self-made successful black entrepreneur," he added, saying: "He's built wonderful, sophisticated businesses." Agnifilo also reminded the jury that Jane - an ex-girlfriend of Combs who testified against him under a pseudonym - is still living in a house that Combs pays for. "Jane came here and testified against him…I don't know what she's doing today, but whatever she's doing it's in a house he paid for. He takes care of people," Agnifilo added. Diddy was joined in court today by Justin and his twin daughters, who have supported their father in the final days of his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial following an emotional day yesterday. On Thursday, Jessie and D'Lila stood beside the rapper as they sent support for the disgraced mogul during the trial's closing arguments. Early on in the trial, the twins were present to support Diddy, even sharing a social media post saying, 'The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiralled into absurdity on social media.' Diddy denies any wrongdoing in the federal charges brought against him.

Jeanne Merchant returns with soulful anthem ‘Tell Me'
After a quiet spell, celebrated vocal coach and powerhouse singer Jeanne Merchant has returned to the indie spotlight with her latest emotionally charged R&B single, 'Tell Me,' released on May 23, 2025. Dropped under Merchant Records, the independent label she co-founded with Salim Merchant, the song marks a new phase in Jeanne's musical journey — one where vulnerability meets sonic finesse. Crafted entirely by Merchant — who wrote, composed, and sang the track — 'Tell Me' dives into the emotional aftermath of love slipping into silence. The song is elevated by Anshuman Sharma's smooth production, weaving polished pop melodies with soul-baring lyrics. Jeanne calls the song 'a reflection of honesty — of asking difficult questions when love turns into silence.' The single arrives with a visually striking music video helmed by Tushar Mahajan, who served as both director and director of photography. The video, much like the song, is steeped in mood and melancholy, echoing the confusion and ache of unspoken emotions. Though Jeanne is widely recognized for her role as a vocal coach to rising and established talents for over 13 years, 'Tell Me' is a strong reminder of her artistry and vocal prowess. Known for her genre-spanning command across R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Pop, Jeanne's latest track is a lush, introspective ride wrapped in seductive basslines and heartfelt delivery. It's a song that speaks as much to the ears as it does to the soul. With Merchant Records, Jeanne is helping build a platform for authentic, genre-fluid music — and 'Tell Me' is a shining example of that mission. As indie audiences crave music with emotional depth and genuine artistry, Jeanne Merchant delivers exactly that — raw, refined, and utterly resonant. 'Tell Me' is now streaming on all major platforms, accompanied by a must-watch music video that brings its emotional depth to life.

The Millennium Tour Gave Us More Than Nostalgia—It Was A Reset
Say what you want about millennials that we're obsessed with nostalgia, stuck in the early 2000s or whatever but the Millennium Tour reminded me exactly why we hold on so tight. The music, the dancing, the Baby Phat jeans. It wasn't just a concert. It was a reset. We've been catching heat from Boomers and Gen Z for a while now. Boomers think we're entitled. Gen Z thinks we're lacking authenticity and holding onto an i dentity crisis while being stuck in a '90s fantasy. Call me a typical millennial, then. I loved growing up in the '90s and early 2000s. Saturday nights meant packed skating rinks in Akron, Ohio. People might've chilled by the tables, but once B2K or Lil' Bow Wow came on, the rink turned into a dance floor. Later, I graduated to house parties and teen clubs — before bottle service ruined the vibe—dancing to the radio version of 'Wait (The Whisper Song)' by the Ying Yang Twins and Bobby Valentino's 'Tell Me.' If your hair wasn't sweated out by the end of the night, did you even go? My only regret? Not going to a single Scream Tour. No band tee. No shared stories. That regret was solidified early because I couldn't come to school with the iconic B2K or Bow Wow paraphernalia. I don't know if my parents missed the memo or just refused to sit through a concert full of screaming teens, but it's an experience I had to sit out and could never connect with friends about —until now. One of my friends gave me the chance to go to The Millennium Tour at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. This was my redemption arc. I was finally going to make my teenage self proud. And there was no way I was missing out (again) on artists who shaped one of the best eras of my life. ' We were raised on hope and were told to dream big — even when life didn't deliver on that promise. And for one night, the music gave us that promise back. ' Look, I didn't love showing up before the 8 p.m. start time (millennials are aunties now, but that doesn't mean we roll up early). But my friend insisted, mainly for merch and drinks, and I'm glad she did because the moment I got that band tee (20 years late), the nostalgia hit hard. It also gave me a chance to witness the full millennial collective experience through fashion. All around me were women in jersey dresses, velour Juicy Couture tracksuits, airbrushed tees and braids with bandana scarves. The 'twisties in the front, curls in the back' generation had entered the building. I was already impressed by the crowd before the music even started. Nivea kicked things off and instantly took me back to my burned CD playlist era. She sang 'Laundromat' and 'Don't Mess With My Man' like no time had passed. The Ying Yang Twins followed, and once they started performing 'Whistle While You Twurk,' it was over. Nobody was sitting down when 'Get Low' came on. That track still hits like it did in 2002. We had a quick moment to catch our breath and recover before RSVP — which stands for Ray J, Sammie, Bobby V and Pleasure P, took the stage and did a 30-minute mash-up of their hits. Ray-J's 'Wait a Minute' is still in my rotation. But Sammie? Sammie was the one. Dressed in black leather pants and no shirt, Sammie looked at the crowd and said, 'Let's show them who the f**k I am,' right before going into his 1999 hit 'I Like It.' The way we screamed that hook like our car notes and rent depended on it? Unmatched. Sammie didn't have to do too much because we sang our hearts out word for word and without missing a beat. His From the Bottom To The Top was the first album my parents bought for me, nearly 25 years ago. While his debut R&B album remains timeless, Sammie reminded me of—dare I say—the good ol' days. It was that moment where I felt, 'You just had to be there' to understand what these songs mean to Black millennials. But the moment that resonated the deepest for me was when Bow Wow walked out. Maybe it's the Ohio pride, but I was beaming seeing him in custom white, gray and red Air Force 1s with 'OSU' etched on the side for The Ohio State University. Outside of LeBron James and a few others, Bow Wow's roots in Ohio was something I was always proud of growing up. He kicked off 'Take Ya Home' with the Harlem Shake and I swear, I was transported. He even brought out Twista, who I hadn't seen in years. You'd think after more than 20 years of touring Bow Wow, Omarion and Trey Songz might've lacked the energy to put on a show that millennials desperately needed— but no. They still brought it. Sure, there were a few corny moments. I didn't need the animated ice on the screen during Omarion's performance of 'Ice.' And Kaine from the Ying Yang Twins air-humping the stage? Sir, please. This isn't 2005. ' There's science behind why concerts like this strike such an emotional chord. Studies show that live music activates multiple areas in the brain tied to emotion, memory and reward. ' But here's the thing: with all the talk about millennials being stuck in the past, I would argue that remembering where you've been helps you figure out where you are going. And there's science behind why concerts like this strike such an emotional chord. Studies show that live music activates multiple areas in the brain tied to emotion, memory and reward. When we hear songs from our youth, our brains literally and figuratively light up — not just with recognition, but with emotional intensity. Music can trigger dopamine which is the same feel-good chemical sparked by love and good food. And nostalgia? It's been proven to lower stress, increase optimism and even make people feel physically warmer. So when 10,000 people packed that arena, dripping sweat, screaming lyrics from our flip-phone days, that wasn't delusion. It was collective healing. A reminder of who we were, who we are and how far we've come. Millennials carry a lot. Research shows that we have a higher rate of depression than any other generation. We were raised on hope and were told to dream big — even when life didn't deliver on that promise. And for one night, the music gave us that promise back. Our parents and teachers taught us that 'if you can believe it, you can achieve it,' which is only partially true. Some of us got hit with a reality check later in life. There was a massive technological revolution where we went from VHS tapes to streaming and Polaroids to constantly posting on social media in a blink of an eye. Then, we entered adulthood during a financial crisis and recession where we were taught to still go to school despite there being fewer jobs. Many of my friends have crippling student loan debt tied to a degree they can barely use. And the likelihood to own a home grows more grim each day, especially if you didn't buy a house before 2020. Despite what other generations say about millennials being stuck in the past, the Millennium Tour proved that some things are worth returning to. Both shows sold out the 10,000-seat arena, and for three hours, our childhood soundtracks reminded us what joy used to feel like complete with sweaty hair, sore feet and full hearts. That night, I left with no voice, frizzy edges and a deep sense of gratitude for the era that raised me. When fun was real, dancing was mandatory and the music carried a whole different weight than it does now. The energy? Healing.
