    SNOOP DOGG ARRESTED AGAIN AT THE AIRPORT!!

    By L.T. DinwiddieI want Snoop Dogg to make one of his New Year’s resolutions be to stay out of the damn airport. I just reported earlier this week, how Snoop narrowly escaped going to jail over having a baton on him while going to through airport security. We all know about his other arrest over the pond in London where he and his entire entourage got involved in a beat down. And now HHNLIVE.com is reporting that once again Snoop has been arrested for showing his a*s at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, CA on suspicion of illegal drug and gun possession. In today’s troubled times, you have to have balls of steel to cause a disturbance on any level in the airport. But, I must admit you've got to respect his gangsta!

    I personally am not one to take any sh*t from anyone, but at the airport I just nod my head and keep it moving--No matter what happens! They can call me everything but the child of God and my response is “yes sir-no sir/yes ma’am-no ma’am”.
    FULL STORY


    Oh well I digress.

    There will be no entertainment report today guys. I’ve worked hard this week to bring you an exclusive interview with one half of the most notorious hip-hop duo's in hip-hop history– Dave Mays!(Scroll down the site to read it)


    I love you all like cooked food. We’ll talk and gossip come Monday morning,

    Peace!

    O1LT.COM **EXCLUSIVE DAVE MAYS INTERVIEW**

    By L.T. Dinwiddie

    On the surface it would appear that two of the most influential people in hip-hop are on the verge of losing everything. After founding The Source over 18 years ago, David Mays and longtime president/artist Raymond "Benzino" Scott were sent packing by their former magazine's board of directors. If that wasn’t bad enough former Editor and Chief Kim Osorio, who was the first female Editor-in-Chief of The Source, and co-worker, Michelle Joyce, filed charges of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The lawsuit accused co-owners David Mays, the Chief Executive Officer, and Raymond “Benzino” Scott, the Chief Brand Executive, of committing gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and unlawful retaliation against women.

    Earlier this week Kim Osorio received semi-good news after a federal jury in New York found she was fired in retaliation for complaining about sexual harassment and gender discrimination on the job. However, most media outlets have failed to report that Osorio lost on all counts of sexual harassment charges. Though it would appear that vindication is hers this victory might be short lived if David Mays and Benzino have anything to do with it as there are plans in motion to appeal the verdict.

    Although things are still being worked out on a judicial level, the pioneering hip-hop duo are not letting legal woes get in the way of their creativity and innovation. Amidst all the courtroom and magazine drama a fresh, new magazine has emerged that is guaranteed to be bigger and more influential than The Source ever was -- and the new magazine is called Hip-Hip Weekly. In a one on one exclusive interview O1LT.com spoke with one half of the founding “hip-hop Bible”, Dave Mays for a candid conversation. With an ever growing social appetite for news particularly hip-hop news, it looks like the new Hip-Hop Weekly couldn’t have arrived at a more perfect time. May’s discusses how much of an impact Hip-Hop Weekly plans to make on urban-pop culture, his current take on the state of hip-hop today and his side of the story regarding the controversial Kim Osorio lawsuit.


    O1LT: What is your vision for this new magazine?

    Dave:
    Hip-Hop is so big, it’s close to a trillion dollar industry and there are many different things and different types of business and areas that are basically eating off the hip-hop culture. You can look at the NBA and MTV and lots of examples of companies and businesses that are benefiting tremendously from hip-hop culture but, what you see out there is a reluctance to give the credit to the culture. People want to make money off our culture but, don’t like to give us the credit. They want to call it by a different name and continue to try and make hip-hop into something bad.

    One of the things that Hip-Hop Weekly would do is help elevate hip-hop itself to the mainstream level of acceptance that it deserves. And take ownership in a lot of things that are hip-hop. Lebron James is hip-hop-- there is no better term to describe who he is. Jaime Foxx is hip-hop-- all these different people from different aspects of entertainment and culture--these things are hip-hop and they need to be known and take ownership… that’s one of things that will be the legacy of this magazine. To help take ownership of the broad impact of everything that hip-hop is today and will be going forward.

    O1LT: What’s your take on the state of Hip-Hop today?

    Dave: Hip-hop is an ever evolving culture and art form. I think the state of the music isn’t that strong. I think it’s suffered over the past few years because of the corporate control that has been exerted over the music. I think that when the music hits a rut, it also hurts the culture. But I have a feeling for a number of reasons that we are going to see a change and bring some energy and innovation back into the hip-hop music scene and I think that will resuscitate the culture and get it back going in the right direction.

    O1LT: I know you that you two are no longer affiliated the The Source magazine, but what’s your take on the recent verdict regarding former Editor-in-Chief Kim Osorio?

    Dave:
    I am actually very pleased with the outcome! What hasn’t been made clear in various news reports is that she lost on her primary claims. She claimed that Ray and I and the company sexually harassed her. She claimed that she was the victim of gender discrimination and the jury found no finding whatsoever and cleared of us all charges with regard to sexual harassment and gender discrimination. That’s a great thing because we are very proud of the corporate environment we created at The Source, an environment that’s created tremendous opportunities for a lot of diverse group of people – young people, women, men, minorities—people who wouldn’t have opportunities in a lot of other places. The Source was one of the most desirable companies for young people to want to work at. I’m glad that on the major situation we were cleared.

    What she did win on was two counts – one is something that is called retaliation, which basically has to do with procedures by which a corporation fires somebody when they make a complaint. Even if the complaint is false there are certain procedures when this type of complaint is filed that a corporation must follow if it doesn’t want to expose itself to a retaliation claim. She made a complaint—she worked for a company for five years. She was the first Editor and Chief of The Source. She replaced a man, was picked over a man, and was elevated to one of the highest salaries in the entire company. She was well taken care over time.

    For five years she never made any complaints of any kind related to harassment or discrimination. Benzino and I decided to make a change in her position, she found about it and that’s when the complaint was filed. That’s what the retaliation claim was about and that will be appealed as well as the defamation claim. As far as the defamation claim goes, it came about in an interview that Benzino did for a website and he stated that we felt that Kim was attempting to extort us to save her job. Based on that comment the jury determined defamation and awarded damages to her for that. But that one I am absolutely certain that on an appeal it will get knocked out, there’s just no way in the world that will pass as defamation. I feel very good with the outcome.

    O1LT: Are you concerned about published reports that she is contemplating writing a tell all book about her experiences working for The Source?

    Dave:
    That’s fine, to me it just underlines her motives -- again she wanted money and she is trying to turn this into ways to make money for herself. She can do whatever she chooses to do. People have said lots of things about me and Benzino and The Source before so say what you want. We are here, we’re back -- we never went anywhere and we are going to be bigger and more influential then we ever were before with The Source, with the new Hip Hop Weekly!! MORE TO THE STORY

    A DISGRUNTLED READER GETS HIS SPOTLIGHT!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie
    As I am sure you all can imagine, I get tons of emails daily from people happy or upset over something that I have written. One of the greatest things about having your own website, platform, soap box whatever you want to call it is that you can say what you want to say when you want to say it. I want to share with you all this email that I received today from someone who obviously is a Lil Wayne and Baby fan. He seems to be very upset and dare I say it – hurt by the story I did earlier this morning allegeding that there appears to be more then meets the eye when it comes to the Cash Money label mates.

    If you read my article today then you will notice that I never called Baby or Lil Wayne gay because until I see them in the throws of passion its all speculation to me. However, I did express that if they want these gay rumors to discontinue that it would be in their best interest, to stop trying to imitate the “Mafia” thing. It’s really not working for them.

    i love the hell outta yall sites all of em from o1lt.com/hhnlive.com/bossip.com/mediatakeout.com but now yall posting some bullshit!! rumors is one thing but to jus blast a nigga for nothing is some BULLSHIT!!

    O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-GAY RAPPERS!!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie

    ***BABY ADDRESSES THE PICTURE OF HIM AND LIL WAYNE KISSING ON THE RADIO

    Sometimes pictures are worth a thousand words. If you can remember a few months ago mediatakeout.com did a story on Baby and Lil Wayne and their extremely close relationship. After that story ran Gille The Kid went on the The Wendy Williams Experience and addressed the rumors adding more fuel to the gay fire by confirming that he too witnessed homosexual actions between the two.

    Often times when you’re in the entertainment business homosexual rumors can run rampant. Most of us get a good laugh and keep it moving, while others take it as the gospel. In these particular photos it looks like all the rumors about Baby and Lil Wayne and their unusually close relationship proves to be true. Baby and Lil Wayne have some explaining to do for real.
    LIL WAYNE AND BABY IN AWKARD GAY POSITION

    Speaking of Gay...

    This is the thing that bugs me about celebrities. They add fuel to their own damn fire sometimes. R
    ussell Simmons is no rookie when it comes to rumors, especially regarding homosexuality. In this particular photograph Russell is sitting on a man’s lap and kee-keeing it up. I have never met the music and fashion mogul, though I hear he has a very free spirit and isn’t concerned at all with people’s perception(s). I still think that he should fall back from all the man on man action if he wants those rumors to die down. If you listen to the The Wendy Williams Experience then you know she is going to be all over these pictures like white on rice. It’s not a good look Russ! RUSSELL SIMMONS LAPPING WITH ANOTHER DUDE

    FROM FLAVA OF LOVE TO NAOMI CAMPBELL, THESE GIRLS ARE OFF THE CHAIN!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie


    Say what you want to say about Namoi, but she is a gangsta! She get’s into more fights then all the girls on Flavor of Love. According to many gossip and news websites, the "catwalk diva" was arrested on London over suspicions of assault. It’s not cool how she keeps putting herself in these same situations, but again you have to respect her gangsta


    Why is Hottie form the first season of Flavor of Love looking a hot mess? Home girl looks like a deer strung out of its mind on crack while two headlights are about to hit it head on. Not a good look Hottie, I’m going to need you to really work on that!!



    Speaking of Flavor of Love…

    Tiffany AKA "New York" won some award from the show. Listen I didn’t watch the award show nor did I waste my time searching the internet to find out more information. It is what it is people. I just wanted to show you the pictures. Enjoy!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie
    Prince reportedly became upset at the way some strippers were dancing when he recently attended a strip club in Hollywood. Prince became so disgusted by all the scantily-clad women that he offered them double the wages to stop dancing. Will somebody tell Miss “Over the Cherry Moon” to sit down somewhere? If you don’t like the dancing take your ass home. FULL STORY

    A judge has ordered C-murder to not give any media interviews to support or promote his new album. Judge Martha Sassone said that granting interviews direct violates a gag order that is in place for his current retrial. As you know C-murder (Curtis Miller) is on trial facing charges accusing him of killing Steve Thomas, 16, on Jan. 12, 2002, at a now-closed club in Harvey. First off who in the hell will buy C-Murders record? That No Limit thing is sooo over, isn’t it? FULL STORY

    Can somebody please tell The Game to his ass down somewhere? He released the Soundscan figures for this last week’s album sales. But true to The Game’s form he had to bust into a freestyle rap attacking G-Unit. He’s just corny to me at this point. Whatever it is what it is right! FULL STORY


    Ciara's new video "Promise" was released yesterday, check it out!

    I really can’t take it anymore. Why can’t people just accept their fate in the music business. Why not retire when you’re on a high note then to keep putting out albums? LL Cool J, which in my opinion one of the greatest rappers of all time, is dropping yet another LP in March under Def Jam. I think it’s a big mistake because the music has changed from LL is used to. He just can’t keep up anymore. Did anyone here his last album? Well neither did I because it failed miserably. LL can blame Def-Jam for bad promotion all he wants, but it comes down to talent, and LL has fallen off. **Please note that I am very wishy-washy, and at any moment I could be chanting LL’s name if his music is hot. But something tells me that I won’t be! FULL STORY

    According to Yung Joc, he should have no problem appealing to the younger fans on the Scream Tour 5, which starts on November 22 in Miami. After all, earlier this year he did go on tour with the man who put the outing on the map, Bow Wow.

    "I feel good, feel blessed definitely," Joc said via phone from Texas on Friday morning. Joc has been named a supporting act — along with Usher's new group One Chance, Jibbs, Pretty Ricky, Mario and Sammie — for Scream Tour 5: Ruff & Ready, Young & Sexy. Omarion, who has been another staple of the tour over the years, will co-headline with Ne-Yo. Bow Wow, however, is not on this year's lineup. FULL STORY

    HIP HOP WEEKLY IN STORES-GET YOUR COPY!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie
    The buzz in the streets has been sizzling since word spread that former owners of The Source Magazine, Dave Mays and Raymond "Benzino" Scott, were launching a new groundbreaking magazine titled Hip-Hop Weekly. Many people counted out two of the most influential people in hip-hop when they were officially separated from The Source earlier this year. However, it looks like you can't count them out just yet. With hip-hop seeping into mainstream pop culture now more then ever, it is perfect timing to launch this publication. The hip-hop duo is attempting to do something that has never been done on any level in hip-hop until now.

    Judging by Benzino and Dave’s accomplishments with their former publication H.H.W. is destined to be a just as influential and relevant as The Source ever was.

    This is one of my favorite song of all time. I know that a lot of people think that Stephanie Mills version was better, but I have heard both, and I personally feel that Diana Ross’s version was much better. In the spirit of Diana trying to sabotage the new “DreamGirls” movie, I am dedicating this video to her.

    You know I couldn’t resist a slight jab at her right?

    BLIND ITEMS!!!!

    My girl Myra Panache has another blind item, can you guess who it is?

    This struggling couple had a plan. A black male turned to his Asian girlfriend and said, 'a big payday may be on the horizon.'

    Earlier, he had met a black female singer at a industry event and the chemistry was instant. The girlfriend became jealous when he spoke of her, but he was able to convince her, 'let me run this game, don't worry, it won't mean nothing, it's all about the money for us.' She reluctantly agreed.

    He started dating the black female singer on the side. With the little money he had, he took her to dinner and bought her a few trinkets.

    He came to enjoy the time he spent with her and looked forward to it. He would soon realize, the singer didn't have the type of money he thought. Over time, it didn't matter, because he had fallen in love with her.

    He kicked the Asian girl to the curb. She became furious and threatened to expose his true intentions. He threatened her with violence and she backed off.

    This man would eventually marry the singer and they are living happily ever after.

    Hint: The singer is "NOT" Mary J. Blige.

    O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-DIDDY/RUBEN/DIANA ROSS/THE GAME/MYSPACE!!!!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie


    Well people even I can sometimes get it wrong. Yesterday I reported that Diddy’s new album Press Play was going to be a flop after recieving an email from a source who works at his record label, but it would seem that I was duped because Press Play will come in at number one when the official numbers are released tomorrow. As you know people are entitled to make mistakes and I for damn sure do, so I want to congratulate Puffy for such an incredible feat.


    Though I gave his album a positive review (see right sidebar), I didn’t think that people would consider him relevant in today’s music scene, but I guess I was wrong. Not to piss in the man’s morning coffee but the number of CD’s sold are still far from a gold album. Let see if all the guest appearances will make for platinum success. Ruben Studdard will also come in strong this week as his new album The Return will make a mild splash on the charts cracking the top 10.

    The Bible of Hip Hop is out a lot of Benjamins.

    A federal jury in Manhattan yesterday ruled that The Source magazine and its two founders must pay $14.5 million to a former top editor who described a raunched-out workplace where executives watched porn, smoked pot and called female employees "b------."
    "I feel like I've been vindicated," said Kimberly Osorio, who was canned last year. "Whether it's hip hop, rock 'n' roll or the post office, there's still laws a company needs to abide by." FULL STORY

    A true Diva never stops! Movie industry insiders in Hollywood fear Diana Ross is planning to wreck Beyonce Knowles' Oscar hopes for Dreamgirls - because she hates the new musical which is loosely based on her career with The Supremes.
    The soul diva made it clear she wasn't a fan of the project when it first appeared as a Broadway musical, and now sources claim she's planning a subtle 'diss' campaign to ruin the film's Academy Award chances. FULL STORY

    It’s finally been confirmed that Nas new album Hip Hop is Dead will hit stores on December 19th. I am really excited! FULL STORY

    Looks like The Game is going at it again with a new single. His first single “One Blood” fell into obscurity. His new single “Let’s Ride” is so whack I can’t believe it even got a video. Damn that 50 cent, he has more power then I gave him credit for. Why does the beat sound so damn familiar?



    Speaking of The Game....

    You have to almost feel bad for the guy. Ever since 50 cent declared war on the former G-Unit member, he really has had a hard time keeping his name relevant in hip-hop. So much so that he's even addressing his "50 Cent" issues. FULL STORY

    Teddy Riley's marriage to aspiring singer Melinda Santiago is just about over. The 39-year-old singer/producer of Blackstreet and Guy filed for divorce from Santiago after being married apparently less than two months.

    The couple met on MySpace and after a brief courtship got hitched.FULL STORY

    Speaking of Myspace, be sure to check because I have my own myspace page. If you haven’t had the opportunity to get your own page you need to stop playing. Everybody is on that damn site and I hate to admit it, but myspace has been instrumental in me developing business relationships with some of the world’s best entertainers.

    Splaboos, boy I tell you!

    Cuba Gooding Jr was filmed recently leaving a restaurant but before entering his vehicle he decided to buy a camera man a rose for filming him. Before we go any further, I am not insinuating that the man is gay because lets be honest- who the hell would care? All I want to address are two things. First off are you that desperate for media attention that you have to buy the people who film you presents? And the second thing is who in the hell would pay one hundred dollars for one rose? I’ve observed your acting carrer since Jerry Mcguire Cuba, you don’t have it like that? Or do you?!? WATCH VIDEO HERE

    O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-SNOOP/WESLEY SNIPES/DIDDY*LAST TIME*/MICHAEL KNIGHT!!!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie


    Has Snoop Dogg lost his ever loving mind? TMZ.com is reporting that Snoop was busted late last month for attempting to smuggle a police baton. Now I can respect his gangsta on a lot of things. But you would think that Snoop would have learned a valuable lesson being banned from British Airways, but no it looks like he hasn’t learned it just yet! FULL STORY

    I’m not even mad at Wesley Snipes for obtaining Nambian citizenship. The US Government lies and steals from people every day, Look at President Bush. He got over on the IRS good for him, hell if only we could be that lucky. FULL STORY

    One of my favorite Journalists Jawn Murray caught up with Project Runaway contestant Michael Knight. One of the greatest things about reading Jawn’s interviews is that he really keeps it classy. No matter what is being said or what people are buzzing about, Jawn has that unique talent of addressing rumors but not in a disrespectful or “swoop down” kind of way, unlike me. In the interview Michael once again addresses all the gay rumors, his currently relationship with former Pop sensation - Brandy Norwood and his aspirations to become a top fashion designer. FULL STORY

    I know the Isaiah Washington debacle has gone down over at ABC, but I personally wasn’t really inspired to address it. I mean at the end of the day who he hell is Isaiah Washington?

    Fabulous reportedly hired private investigators to inspect the details of a recent robbery/shooting outside a Chelsea-area eatery, where NBA star Sebastian Telfair was robbed of a $50,000 gold chain and the rapper was shot in the leg.

    On the heels of all the hoopla over at Virgin, it seems that Jermaine Dupri won’t be hurting anytime soon, not that he ever would have anyway. My sources close the situation tells me that EMI has offered Jermaine Durpi his own record label and in-house staff, a vote of confidence from Messrs.

    Remember what I said about Puffy? When I reviewed his CD my first sentence into the review was “What used to be the driving force in hip-hop – Bad Boy Records, is now one of the biggest jokes.” Well I believe that now more than ever, because it’s being reported that his new album will not come in at number one this week. Currently his album is hovering around number 7 and though there is no official total yet if his album doesn’t come in at number one then that constitutes a major flop for the mogul. His budget for this album was astronomical with appearances from at least 10 of the most popular hip-hop and R&B artists. He was on the publicity train hard this time appearing on magazine covers, and that damn “Diddy TV”. It’s the end of an error people. *Note I meant to say error!! FULL STORY

    Speaking of Diddy....(I PROMISE THIS WILL BE THE LAST POST ON DIDDY FOR AWHILE, UNLESS HE FINALLY DECIDES TO COME OUT OF THE………YOU GET THE IDEA)

    My internet girl Myra reported on her site yesterday that Diddy has reportedly been cast in the lead role in a new film version of "A Raisin In The Sun," despite poor reviews in the Broadway production. The hip-hop mogul will reprise the role played by screen legend Sidney Poitier in a new adaption of the 1961 film which was later made into a hit stage show. Critics panned Diddy's performance as Walter Lee Younger in his stage performance, saying the star was simply not up to the role's considerable demands. In Related News: Diddy gets romantic when he discusses his girlfriend, Kim Porter. "She's the type of person I'll fall in love with every day. She taught me how to love." Also, Kim Porter refuses to be impressed by the songs Diddy writes for her. He says, "I'll be in the studio playing a song for her, and say, 'Baby, I made this song for you. She's like, you don't have to make songs for me. What you could do for me is start being the best man you can be.'

    Now I’m no old crow, but I know that some things are not to be made fun of period. This video was created and posted on youtube.com.

    These particular kids decided to make a parody of Lil Mo and Fabulous “Love Me for Life” and turn it into “HIV for Life”. I understand that by me posting it gives them a platform, but I think it’s important for EVERYONE realize that some things just aren’t funny. I have friends who are infected with this disease and if they were to see this video it would seriously hurt them. Thank God they aren’t into my often times salacious website so they won't see it. All in all it's just not cool at all.

    BLIND ITEM!!

    If this black actor isn't careful, he's going to end up broke with health issues. He doesn't act his age and he indulges in ecstasy and viagra, trying to keep up with his much younger blonde mistress.

    He is often seen with his mistress in Las Vegas where he plays $5,000 'a chip' poker. He also loses six and seven figures on a regular basis in the baccarat parlors in Las Vegas, Monte Carlo and Atlantic City. He is a high stakes gambler and he just paid off a few markers. Success really changed him.

    When him and his black wife first arrived in Hollywood, he was very down to earth and approachable. After a few hit movies, he went through a mid-life crisis and went wild! He even expects some producers to include his prostitutes in the budget, some have balked while others have agreed. It is not unusual to see prostitutes escorted to his trailer on film breaks. He flies them in and his assistant picks them up at the airport. Hints: He 'has never won' an Oscar.

    O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-JERMAINE DUPRI/DIDDY/WENDY WILLIAMS EXPERIENCE/DEF JAM!!!!

    By L.T. Dinwiddie
    According to my sources Jermaine Dupri and Virgin Records are no longer affiliated with each other. My source also says that every since Jermaine came on board with Virgin that there have been issues and the staff really hated him. The New York Daily News is talking about it. I’m personally over it. Let this be a lesson to you all, don’t mix business and pleasure. Better yet I'll put it even more plainly - don’t sh*t where you work.

    I told you on Monday that Jermaine Dupri had threatened to quit his job as president of Virgin Record's urban music division because he blamed his colleagues for badly marketing the CD of his girlfriend, Janet Jackson. Yesterday, sources said Dupri was in fact out of there. A rep for Virgin CEO Jason Flom had no comment by deadline.

    Damn Slick Rick is in trouble again. I am sure you all heard about the shooting back in 1990 that landed Slick in jail for 5 years and 12 days. I am sure you also know that he was facing deportation because the laws in the country forbid any foreign national who serves more than five years in prison for committing a felony to remain here. Though it had appeared that Slick was going to stay here in United States when hip-hop’s most prominent and influential figures like Will Smith and Russell Simmons rallied around him in support it is still undecided what his fate will be. The rapper's case has been assigned to Florida's 11th Circuit Court and he has been stripped of his status as a permanent resident and once again, faces deportation. FULL STORY

    Does anyone really believe that Diddy and Kim Porter are a couple? I don’t know why I am even wasting my energy on this nonsense, but I understand my role with this site. You all come to O1LT.com for the truth as I see it. Well my truth regarding Diddy is that Kim and the twins make for good PR but my sources close to the star tell me there is nothing going on behind the scenes regarding Kim and Diddy. First off the fact that you all actually believe that he is…… let me stop. Anyway The New York Daily News is confirming my suspicions. They have published a report that says Diddy was hugged up on some white woman at his album release party. FULL STORY

    Speaking of Diddy…...

    Diddy has confessed to being obsessed with group sex in champagne-filled baths when he was a bachelor.

    The rapper, whose long-term girlfriend Kim Porter is pregnant with twin girls, indulged in all his most wild fantasies when he was single, and admits his fetish for food-based sex and multiple partners spiralled out of control.

    He said in an interview with Vibe magazine: "I'm nasty. In the mid-'90s I was buck-f***ing wild - beyond ménage à trois. It's crazy, you're twenty-something and renting the presidential suite at the Hotel Nikko in Beverly Hills. You got the bathtub filled with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. Then sex became dangerous."

    Speaking of Diddy again...

    Diddy went on NY's Power 105.1 with Egypt and Ashy a couple days ago. He was discussing how not only did he cheat on J-Lo, but she cheated on him. And he's naming names. FULL STORY
