Malcolm X would’ve loved Nicki Minaj! Malcolm X literally warned Black people against blindly aligning themselves with a political party that doesn’t deliver for them. Nicki Minaj stepped back, looked at what she believes Democrats promised versus what they delivered, and decided she didn’t owe that party automatic loyalty.

In November 2022, Cardi B made a major career move by signing with Full Stop Management, a powerful firm founded by Irving Azoff and his son Jeffrey. To understand why her touring numbers could be manipulated, you have to understand Irving Azoff's history and his unprecedented grip on the live music industry. Azoff is the former CEO of Ticketmaster and played a massive role in the $2.5 billion merger between Ticketmaster and Live Nation, eventually becoming Live Nation's Chairman alongside CEO Michael Rapino. Though he left his official role at Live Nation in 2012, he went on to found the venue-management powerhouse Oak View Group (OVG). The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is currently investigating this ecosystem and explicitly outlined their collusion in a formal complaint. To illustrate just how deeply connected Azoff is to Live Nation's monopoly, the DOJ filings state: “[...] Live Nation has neutralized threats from potential competitors, including Oak View Group ('OVG'). OVG was founded by a former Live Nation executive [Irving Azoff] and several of its initial senior employees were former Live Nation employees. [...] Live Nation and OVG have a deep, symbiotic relationship. [...] Live Nation and OVG reached a verbal agreement that OVG would not compete with Live Nation in the promotion business and Live Nation would not compete with OVG in its core venue consulting and sponsorship businesses.” Because this cartel illegally divides the market, they also control the platforms that report touring data to the public. In 2017, OVG acquired Pollstar, widely considered the "bible of live entertainment" and the primary source of industry box office metrics. After OVG took over, Pollstar shifted its methodology to prioritize raw box office revenue over actual ticket volume or show quality. This creates a system of "Information Fraud". Because Live Nation controls ticketing, they use "Dynamic Pricing" and hidden fees to artificially inflate ticket prices to exorbitant levels. The total box office gross for their tours is, therefore, artificially massive. Instead of reporting honest, organic success based on how many fans attended, the final numbers reflect a gross inflated by price manipulation. For an artist managed by Azoff’s firm like Cardi B this means a $69.5 million tour gross could easily be padded to $70 million or higher. The Azoff network controls the artist (Full Stop Management), the ticketing (Ticketmaster), the venues (OVG), and the platform reporting the success (Pollstar). They have the power to completely legitimize their own padded numbers and use that "record-breaking" data to justify even higher prices on the next tour. Industry manipulation is not a conspiracy; in 2018, Nicki Minaj accused Irving Azoff who co-managed her chart rival Travis Scott of orchestrating a smear campaign. She alleged that Azoff used his influence to spread false reports of "low ticket sales" to sabotage her tour. This incident highlights that if Azoff's network can weaponize media to fabricate failure for rivals, they can equally inflate data to elevate clients like Cardi B. @TXAG Complaint: justice.gov/atr/media/135310…

🚨 UPDATE: Curis Law has now ALSO rescinded its consent to Jay Z’s request for an enlarged 40 page opposition brief. Curis says it originally agreed because Jay Z’s side represented that the extra pages were needed to respond to all three pending motions to dismiss, including Jane Doe’s. But later that same evening, after obtaining the defendants’ consent, Jay Z voluntarily dismissed Jane Doe and filed her new declaration. Curis is now joining Buzbee’s opposition and says it “appears fairly obvious” Jay Z’s side already knew they planned to discontinue the claims against Jane Doe when they sought the extra pages. Their position is that with Jane Doe’s motion now out of the picture, the remaining arguments are largely overlapping and the additional pages are no longer warranted. So now BOTH Buzbee’s side and Curis Law have withdrawn their consent to the 40 page request.

🚨 Tony Buzbee’s side is now asking Judge Dale Ho to STRIKE Jane Doe’s new declaration from the record, and this filing gets very pointed. They argue Jay Z was not required to attach Jane Doe’s declaration to the voluntary dismissal and say the declaration appears to serve no purpose other than to attack and “impugn” the remaining defendants. They go even further and characterize it as Jane Doe’s “bought and paid for Declaration.” Their position is that if the court is going to consider this new declaration at all, then the court also needs to consider Jane Doe’s prior sworn statements, because those statements directly contradict what she is saying now. Buzbee’s lawyers attached those prior declarations. In February 2025, Jane Doe swore under penalty of perjury that she stood by her claims against Jay Z, believed she had a meritorious claim, and had authorized Buzbee and his firm to pursue the case. Then in March 2025, after Jay Z’s investigators claimed she had told them he did not assault her, Jane Doe filed another sworn declaration saying that was false. She specifically denied ever telling the investigators that Jay Z did not sexually assault her and said she refused their request to sign an affidavit saying her claims were false. Now, in September 2026, she is saying something completely different. Buzbee’s side is also pointing out what they see as a major contradiction in Jay Z’s own position. Jay Z’s pleadings have repeatedly described Jane Doe as an unreliable witness with credibility problems. But now his side is relying on her newest declaration because it supports their claims against Buzbee. So Buzbee’s lawyers are essentially telling the court: If Jane Doe was unreliable before, why should her newest declaration suddenly be treated as reliable now? And if the court is going to consider what she is saying now, then it should also consider everything she previously swore to under penalty of perjury. They are asking the judge to either strike the new declaration entirely, or review it alongside the full history of Jane Doe’s prior sworn statements and the obvious contradictions between them. This is no longer just about whether Jane Doe changed her story. Now the court is being asked to decide what weight, if any, her newest version should be given at all.

🚨 In an interesting turn of events, Jay Z’s lawyers are now being accused by Tony Buzbee’s side of a “bait and switch” and of procuring consent to a court request “by fraud.” Here’s what happened. On September 24, Jay Z’s lawyers asked Judge Dale Ho for permission to file one combined 40 page opposition to the three pending motions to dismiss filed by Jane Doe, the Curis defendants, and the Buzbee defendants. The request said the parties had met and conferred and that the defendants consented. But Buzbee’s lawyers now say they only agreed because they understood Jay Z was responding to ALL THREE motions. According to their filing, hours after Jay Z’s lawyers made that request, Jay Z voluntarily dismissed all claims against Jane Doe. Buzbee’s lawyers say that changed the entire premise of what they had agreed to and that Jane Doe’s dismissal was already “in the works” before Jay Z sought permission for the larger brief. They accuse Jay Z’s side of deceiving the defendants and the court, calling it a “bait and switch,” and they have now withdrawn their consent. They are asking the judge to DENY Jay Z’s request for the 40 page omnibus brief, arguing he no longer needs the extra pages because Jane Doe’s motion is now moot. This case just got even messier.

Add this to the list of things you can’t make up. 🥴 Y’all remember the viral story out of Detroit with the funeral home and the wig? Well, Joseph Hutchison Jr., the vice president of operations at Hutchison Funeral Home, was reportedly found dead Thursday night at an apartment complex. His death comes just days after Kimberlly Moore’s family accused the funeral home of mistakenly cremating her before her scheduled viewing, then presenting another woman’s body dressed in Moore’s clothes and wig. A cause of death has not been publicly confirmed, and there is currently no verified connection between his death and the controversy surrounding the funeral home. This whole story is WILD.
