Adam22 to Jack Harlow Lay Off Podcasters ... We Get Rappers Millions of Views!!!

WATCH OUT JACK
TMZ.com

Adam22 thinks Jack Harlow is way off with his criticism of podcasters, and thinks what Jack's really upset about is the guys talking about rap swiping attention from the guys actually rapping!!!

JH recently followed up his No. 1 smash hit "Lovin on Me" with a feature for Dave & Lyrical Lemonade's "Stop Giving Me Advice" track where he cracked on hip hop podcasters ...  "Have you ever spoken somethin' into existence?/Or do you just talk about other people's lives? ... All this unsolicited advice from the guys gettin' booked for a quarter of my price."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Jack's lyrical takedown aligns with sentiments from Drake and Lil Baby -- where they took shots at Joe Budden and Akademiks, respectively -- but Adam tells us podcasters, like himself, are exactly the type of armchair experts who need to take heed of their opinions.

Adam doesn't believe someone has to master the topic they analyze, and also agrees with the bulk of the rap community that 2023's output was fairly bland, and someone in the vein of Drake or Kendrick Lamar needs to up the ante.

TOO BUSY FOR BEEF

Podcasting has gotten competitive and Adam notes several hip hop personalities are getting millions of views ... which would have been millions of music listens before the interview space became a hot commodity.

It's the same competitive nature that forced his beef with former "No Jumper" host AD and his manager Aceboy Pun before they jumped ship, but Adam recently buried the hatchet with those guys after tons of animosity.

He says he wants to get paid more money, not pay attention to a petty feud.

Rappers vs. podcast wars in 2024 looks to be inevitable!!!

Blueface Sued By Soulja Boy's Baby Mama ... For Saying They Had Sex Before Baby Shower

Blueface has been hit with a lawsuit by Soulja Boy's baby mama after claiming he slept with her the day before her baby shower ... among other things.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Jackilyn Martinez beelined it to court Friday ... claiming Blueface made false and defamatory statements about her and her child.

ALLEGED DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS

In case you missed it ... Blueface and Soulja Boy have been beefing heavily on social media this week, which started after the two began arguing about who would win in a Verzuz battle.

Well, things escalated quickly ... and Blueface made some pretty outlandish comments to Soulja Boy about Jackilyn, which includes, "Because I fucked your baby mama the day before your baby shower."

The docs say Blueface went on to say things like, "Till Soulja get a DNA test that's my child lil bro I'm the daddy now," and "What's old about your baby mama sucking my d--k."

However ... the docs say Jackilyn and Blueface did have protected sex one time in 2018, but since then there's been no sex of any kind.

Jackilyn's attorneys say they sent Blueface a cease and desist letter on Tuesday -- demanding he remove all these defamatory statements from social media -- but instead he mocked Jackilyn by posting on IG, "Nobody ever said your name ... I don't even know who you are."

Jackilyn claims she has been receiving death threats since it became known she sent Blueface a C&D letter.

We reached out to a rep for Blueface ... so far, no word back.

Elijah Pritchett Alabama OL Arrested ... Accused Of Knowingly Transmitting STD

Univ. of Alabama offensive lineman Elijah Pritchett was arrested on Wednesday night after cops say he was accused of knowingly spreading a sexually transmitted disease.

The Tuscaloosa Police Department tells TMZ Sports ... the 19-year-old -- who was released from custody on $500 bond shortly after his arrest -- has already been hit with a misdemeanor charge in the case.

According to AL.com, Pritchett faces up to three months in jail or fines up to $500 if he's convicted.

We've reached out to the Univ. of Alabama for comment ... but, so far, no word back yet.

Pritchett was one of the top OL prospects in the 2022 H.S. class ... and committed to Bama over Florida State and Georgia, among others.

The GA native appeared in all 13 games for the Tide this season, playing mostly on special teams.

Pritchett, however, announced his plans to transfer earlier this month -- but he changed his mind a couple weeks later.

His Tide team, meanwhile, is slated to play Michigan in the opening round of the College Football Playoffs on Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl.

U.S. Senate Cardin Staffer Ousted ... Sex Tape Filmed in Hearing Room Leaks

A U.S. Senate staffer who was filmed having sex in a high-profile space on Capitol Hill has lost his job after a tape showing the deed leaked -- and now cops are investigating.

The man depicted in the footage -- which was first published by The Daily Caller, and which has been making the rounds online since -- has been identified as 24-year-old Aidan Maese-Czeropski ... an aide to Democratic Maryland Senator Ben Cardin.

Unclear exactly when this sex tape was filmed, but TDC got its hands on it and threw it up on its site. Indeed, it shows Maese-Czeropski having anal sex with another man in a judiciary hearing room within the Hart Senate Office Building ... and reports indicate it's one where confirmations/grillings go down -- including for SCOTUS nominees, etc.

The camera is being held by the man who's doing the penetrating -- he films both Maese-Czeropski in front of him and the empty room that they're in ... capturing lots of angles.

It appears the two men are having sex where Senators themselves often sit ... perched up on the bench and looking down onto the table where witnesses/nominees would normally be.

Once the staffer in question was linked to Cardin ... a spokesman for his office confirmed the guy was no longer working for the lawmaker -- saying, "Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate. We will have no further comment on this personnel matter."

Aidan himself appears to have also addressed the scandal -- a purported message from his since-scrubbed LinkedIn is being circulated ... and it reads in part, "This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda."

He adds, "While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgment, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace. Any attempts to characterize my actions otherwise are fabricated." Just about all of Aidan's social pages have now been wiped.

BTW, the Capitol Police say they're now looking into this to see if any laws were broken here. Aidan worked for Cardin since 2021 and was a Dianne Feinstein intern before that.

Adam22 is putting Joe Budden on blast for saying his marriage to Lena the Plug was a sham ... and he's doing it by calling out Joe's own past relationships.

We got Adam and Lena outside their No Jumper Store Friday on Melrose, and he says the chatter from Joe is pretty ironic ... and he's got a bold reason why.

FAKE MARRIAGE?
The Joe Budden Podcast

ICYMI, Joe claimed on his podcast that Adam's on a downward spiral and is doing a lot to stay relevant, citing letting Lena sleep with different dudes as an example ... he even thought the 2 might just have an arrangement going on.

Adam and Lena say that's far from the truth, and really do a lot of normal things as a couple -- not to mention they have a kid, and freakin' live together, too.

Now, on the less traditional front ... Adam and Lena just wrapped their reality competition show, "For the Love of Lena," which had multiple guys vying to have a threesome with Lena and Adam ... and that unique trophy went to adult film star Lil D.

He was with Adam and Lena on Friday, and we asked him what his favorite part was about winning the competition. Hint: You don't need 2 guesses to figure out his answer.

Kristin Cavallari I've Never Banged On a 1st Date ... But Do It If You Want To!!!

BACKGRID

Kristin Cavallari says she's never actually had sex on a first date, but still encourages people to bang immediately if they want to ... so, somewhat of a clarification -- but not really.

The reality star chopped it up with a photog at LAX, and got asked all about her podcast remarks from last week ... when she caused a bit of a stir by encouraging women to hook up with dudes if they felt a connection ... or even if they just felt like it.

Her comments at the time were pretty clear, and she's re-explaining here -- saying she thinks there's too much emphasis placed on timing and what society deems appropriate.

Like we said, she makes to sure to be clear on this -- she's not necessarily one to do the deed right away, per se, but by the same token ... still seems to be advocating for open and free love. She even says the reaction she got wasn't as bad as it seemed (mostly bad).

Offset Denies Blueface Claim That He Banged Chrisean Rock

Blueface claims Offset slept with Chrisean Rock -- something she seems to be denying ... and which he's most certainly calling BS on ... this amid his latest issues with Cardi B.

The rapper made the allegation online Sunday amid his ongoing feud with Chrisean ... with the latest hurdle between them now being about their child together -- which Blue just announced the other day was not, in fact, his after he allegedly got confirmation.

On the heels of that drama, Blue tweeted out ... "Being tatted ona hoe is not a flex you literally f****d cardi B husband couple weeks ago I’m tired of n****s looking at me while they f*****g you get the rest of em gone asap please."

It looks like Chrisean is tweeting back at Blueface right now and saying it ain't true, to which Blue responded with specific dates and times ... "So you ain’t f*** cardi husband November 10th at 4am at their house in LA…I’m making this up ?"

Welp, Offset chimed in on the back and forth ... and he's saying yeah, Blue is making it up.

Offset wrote in direct response to one of Blueface's tweets, "I ain't never  talk or touch that lady. Real talk man you need some help!" To that, Blueface appears to have replied and said this ... "If the truth tears you down you living a shameful life and I feel bad for you cuz I ain’t never gone lie on my d*** if I hit it ima admit it on SY."

As for Chrisean -- who's been feuding a lot with Blueface lately, especially pertaining to her baby boy -- she threw out her own accusations at him ... including claims that she'd seen Blueface's Internet search history of late and saw some gay porn results, which he denied. She, of course, also denied his Offset claim, saying ... "U just crashing out making up s***."

Now what's interesting about Blueface's accusation here is the fact that Offset and Cardi do, in fact, appear to be going through more difficulties -- as she's been cryptically implying she's over him ... seemingly referring to him as "dead weight" and straight up unfollowing him.

She hasn't clarified what exactly the problem is ... but considering his history of alleged infidelity, something tells us it might be about that -- especially with this latest development.

Cardi hasn't responded to any of this mess so far, but she very well might soon.

Ex presidente de Bad Boy Las acusaciones de agresión sexual son ficción... Las califica de repugnantes y desesperadas

Harve Pierre, expresidente del sello de Diddy, Bad Boys Records, está criticando la demanda por violación que lo nombra entre los acusados y nos dice que no va a soportar que su nombre sea mancillado.

En una nueva declaración obtenida por TMZ Hip Hop, Pierre dice: "Este es un cuento de ficción. Nunca he participado, presenciado, ni he oído hablar de nada de esto, nunca. Estas repugnantes acusaciones son falsas y un intento desesperado por obtener beneficios económicos".

Y continúa: "Protegeré enérgicamente mi reputación y defenderé mi nombre. Los que me conocen reconocen que estas afirmaciones no son ciertas".

Pierre está acusado de seducir a un menor de edad en Detroit en 2003 para que se subiera a un jet privado y pasara el rato con él y Diddy en una sesión de grabación de Nueva York. Ella afirma que ahí los hombres la agredieron sexualmente en el baño del estudio.

En la demanda también se dice que Pierre se sentó y fumó crack de una lata de Pepsi mientras se producían las agresiones. Los detalles alegados por la denunciante Jane Doe son atroces y viciosos, pero Pierre niega rotundamente que nada de eso sea cierto.

Diddy ha mantenido su inocencia a lo largo de las múltiples demandas que ha enfrentado, incluyendo la que se resolvió rápidamente con su exnovia Cassie en noviembre.

Más o menos parecido a lo que ha dicho Diddy sobre las demandas en su contra, Pierre está sugiriendo fuertemente que la denuncia es simplemente por dinero.

Ex-Bad Boy Prez Harve Pierre Sexual Assault Allegation Is Fiction ... Calls Lawsuit 'Disgusting, Desperate'

Diddy's former President of Bad Boys Records, Harve Pierre, is slamming the gang rape lawsuit that named him as a defendant ... and he's telling us he won't stand for his name being sullied.

In a new statement obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Pierre says, "This is a tale of fiction. I have never participated in, witnessed, nor heard of anything like this, ever. These disgusting allegations are false and a desperate attempt for financial gain."

He continues, "I will vigorously protect my reputation and defend my name. Those who know me recognize that these claims are not true."

Pierre stands accused of enticing a Detroit minor back in 2003 into hopping on a private jet to hang with him and Diddy for a NYC recording session ... where she claims the men sexually assaulted her in the studio bathroom.

The suit also claims Pierre sat back and smoked crack cocaine from a Pepsi can as the assaults took place. The details alleged by the Jane Doe accuser are heinous and vicious ... but Pierre adamantly denies any of it is true.

Diddy has maintained his innocence throughout the multiple lawsuits he's faced -- including the one he quickly settled with ex-girlfriend Cassie in November.

Much as Diddy has said about the suits brought against him, Pierre's strongly suggesting his accuser's simply out for a money grab.

Sex Shop Attack Cop Busted for Beating Up Clerk ... Pissed His Wife Wanted BIG Toys

Size does matter, allegedly, to an Oklahoma cop who's been arrested for assaulting a sex shop clerk who defended the cop's wife ... in an argument about the size of her sex toys. Seriously.

This all went down at Christie's Toy Box in Oklahoma City ... where Pottawatomie Sheriff's commander David DeWitt took his wife shopping for a new sex toy. According to the arrest report, obtained by FOX25, DeWitt grew enraged Monday night when the missus picked up a few items that were, umm ... "bigger than him."

The clerk says DeWitt told his wife she didn't need fake penises that put him to shame, and allegedly raised his hand as if to backhand her. The clerk says he stepped in between them at the point and asked DeWitt to leave the store, but he allegedly barked back, "F*** you, I'm a cop!"

The violence allegedly broke out when DeWitt and his wife were checking out, and that same clerk asked if they wanted to buy any batteries for their new device. That's when DeWitt allegedly yelled, "What the f*** you say to me, fat boy?"

The clerk says he told DeWitt to get out of his face, and that's when DeWitt jumped behind the counter and repeatedly punched him in the face and ribs, tossed a bunch of merchandise around the store ... and then left in a convertible Bentley.

Shortly thereafter, DeWitt was pulled over, but not for the sex shop incident -- a state trooper nailed him for speeding. The trooper was going to let DeWitt go with a warning, but then heard the call about the alleged fight over a phallus ... and notified OKC cops he had DeWitt pulled over.

DeWitt was booked for misdemeanor assault, and he's been suspended without pay pending an investigation.

No word on if his wife got the toy she wanted. Come through, Santa!

Russell Simmons Habla sobre las acusaciones de violación ... Nunca he sido violento

El cofundador de Def Jam, Russell Simmons, se refirió a las múltiples acusaciones de violación que se hicieron en su contra hace años y que él sigue negando.

El magnate de la música se abrió sobre las denuncias en su contra en el episodio del miércoles de "A fondo con Graham Bensinger", diciendo: "Nunca he sido violento con nadie", y añadió que todas sus relaciones "han sido consensuadas".

Admite haber sido insensible y haber utilizado un lenguaje "grosero" durante sus encuentros sexuales a lo largo de los años, pero rechaza la idea de que haya sido "agresivo" con alguna pareja en el pasado.

Además, se queja de que ha sufrido mucho debido a las acusaciones. "Mis cinco organizaciones benéficas se han hundido", dice. Sin embargo, aplaude el movimiento #MeToo —que avivó el calor sobre Simmons en 2017— diciendo: "Ha hecho un gran trabajo para las mujeres. Sensibilizó a los hombres de maneras en que no lo estaban, por eso estoy agradecido".

Simmons no alcanza a llamar mentirosas a las personas que lo acusan y, en cambio, sugiere que se trata más bien de un cambio de época y de actitud hacia el sexo. Dice que ha tenido miles de parejas sexuales a lo largo de los años, pero cree que no es justo comparar el clima actual con el de hace 40 años.

Como ya informamos, varias mujeres denunciaron que Russell las había agredido sexualmente a lo largo de los años. También fue demandado por Jennifer Jarosik en 2018 por acusaciones similares, pero el caso fue desestimado meses después de que ella lo presentara. Simmons insistió en que sus acusaciones eran "absolutamente falsas".

Por cierto, Graham voló a la casa de Simmons en Bali - donde vive desde 2017 - para hacer la entrevista, pero Simmons niega que haya huido, diciendo: "Debido a que me fui y paso tanto tiempo aquí, la gente asumió que me había ido y que había huido a pesar de que estoy de vuelta en Estados Unidos todo el tiempo".

Russell Simmons Speaks Out About Rape Allegations ... 'I've Never Been Violent'

Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons is speaking out about multiple rape allegations made against him years ago ... and he's continuing to deny sexually assaulting anyone.

The music mogul opened up about the claims against him on Wednesday's episode of "In Depth with Graham Bensinger" ... saying, "I've never been violent to anybody" -- adding all his relationships "have been consensual."

He owns up to being insensitive and using "crude" language during sexual encounters over the years, but shoots down the notion he's been "forceful" with any past partners.

Further, he complains he's suffered greatly due to the allegations ... saying, "All my five charities have gone down." However, he applauds the #MeToo movement -- which fueled the heat on Simmons in 2017 -- by saying, "It's done a lot of great work for women. It sensitized men in ways they were not sensitized, and for that I'm grateful."

Simmons stops short of flat-out calling his accusers liars, and instead, suggests this is more about changing times and attitudes toward sex. He says he's had thousands of sexual partners over the years, but thinks it's not fair to compare the climate of today to how it was 40 years ago.

As we reported, multiple women came forward claiming Russell sexually assaulted them over the years. He was also sued by Jennifer Jarosik in 2018 over similar allegations -- but the case was dismissed months after she filed. Simmons maintained her allegations were "absolutely untrue."

By the way, Graham flew to Simmons' home in Bali -- where he's lived since 2017 -- to do the interview, but Simmons denies fleeing, saying ... "Because I left and I spend so much time here, people assumed that I really left and ran even though I'm back in America all the time."

Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari

Kristin Cavallari says that women shouldn't have to wait before jumping into bed with a dude ... instead suggesting they should bang away whenever, but not everyone agrees.

The reality star shared her latest advice on her "Let's Be Honest" podcast, a clip of which she threw up on IG ... in which she says she's rethought the rules of dating as it pertains to when to sleep with a potential partner.

Once upon a time, KC says she was of the mind that women needed to wait a few dates before hopping in the sack -- but now, she says she realizes that "it doesn't f****** matter" and that gals should do it if/when they feel like it's right.

From her POV, there's no time like the present -- and if there's chemistry, she says why not ... screw to your heart's desire. Sounds pretty progressive and empowering, but it appears some more traditional women are firing at her in her comments over this.

One woman simply called it "Trash advice," and another said it was the worst thing Kristin to recommend to young women, especially in today's society. Somebody else took a pot shot at her and said, "That's why you're divorced and still looking for someone at 40+."

Others elaborated a bit further, saying that Kristin leaning into hookup culture is actually damaging to women's psyche ... and that it doesn't actually help form strong relationships or bonds with men they want to get serious with.

Connor Bedard Corey Perry Didn't Sleep With My Mom ... 'Bunch Of BS'

Connor Bedard is now weighing in on the unfounded rumors that his former teammate, Corey Perry, slept with his mom ... and he was adamant on Friday they're straight up "BS."

The Blackhawks superstar didn't mince words when a reporter asked him about the crass gossip that's surrounded Chicago's hockey team for the past few days ahead of their Saturday game against the Jets in Winnipeg.

"It's just a bunch of BS on the internet," Bedard said, before admitting, "It's of course been an effect on myself and my family."

"And that's not fair," he continued, according to Blackhawks beat reporter Ben Pope. "But it's out of our control. It's all just fake, made-up stuff."

Bedard is now the third person to deny the baseless allegations that first formulated on X late last month ... joining Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson and Perry himself.

It seems he'll likely be the last, too, because according to hockey reporter Jacob Stoller, Bedard "became annoyed as the questions" about the Perry rumors continued during his Friday meeting with the media.

"I don't need to answer anymore questions about this stuff," Bedard said.

Perry was cut by the Blackhawks on Tuesday -- and while a specific reason for his departure was never given by the team ... it reportedly all had to do with an "alcohol-infused incident" with team staffers and corporate sponsors.

In a statement Perry released on Thursday, the 38-year-old apologized for his "inappropriate and wrong" behavior.

"I have started working with experts in the mental health and substance abuse fields to discuss my struggles with alcohol and I will take whatever steps necessary to ensure this never happens again," Perry said. "I hope to regain the trust and respect of everyone who has believed in me throughout my career."

Michael Blackson Bey Went Blonde For Jay ... It's New Eye Candy, Not Whiteness!!!

BLAME JAY, INTERNET
TMZ.com

Michael Blackson knows exactly what's really behind Beyoncé's recent lightened appearance, and apologies to Tina Knowles, but he says it's really about a bedroom "Renaissance" for Jay-Z!!!

Mike dropped his juicy theory on us when we got him at LAX, and asked what he makes of all the fan remarks about Bey's appearance during the L.A. premiere of her 'Renaissance' film.

Unlike Mama Knowles, who said the silvery/platinum look was simply about sticking to the theme of Bey's tour -- Michael thinks it's really about the Carters mixing things up in the bedroom. As he sees it, Beyoncé's just giving her man "another woman."

Jokes aside, MB did totally dismiss the haters who claimed B was bleaching her skin ... and he explained why he's filing that under utterly ridiculous.

As we reported, Tina also went to bat for her daughter ... lashing out at anyone spreading the notion Beyonce is anything other than a proud Black woman.

We're not sure Tina would be any more down with Michael's "theory," though.😂
