Netflix is producing a docuseries from Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson about charges of sex trafficking and racketeering as well as sexual assault and violent abuse allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said in an exclusive statement to Variety. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. At the time, 50 Cent shared a clip on X that showed Bad Boy Records rapper Mark Curry alleging that Combs would spike bottles of champagne at his parties before women drank from them. Proceeds from the documentary, the rapper-producer said, will be used to support sexual assault victims.

Loomer told CNN of the post: “It’s interesting how the media wants to, once again, falsely accuse me of being a racist. This is a woman who is on video cooking Indian food with Indian celebrities talking about how she likes cooking with curry.”Asked by Raju about Loomer, Greene said on Thursday, “I have concerns about her rhetoric and her hateful tone.

National authorities raised these red flags at least twice recently, amid a wider push from China's leader, Xi Jinping, to bolster Chinese national security by getting citizens to be more proactive. The South China Morning Post reported that a new foundational textbook for college students warned them about pop culture and rock 'n' roll as oft-used tools for foreign subversion. AdvertisementThe Ministry of State Security has meanwhile cautioned young people to beware of part-time job offers and online dating prospects that might be "secret-stealing traps" laid by foreign spies. The idea here is that the spies target students in scientific research fields to trick them into disclosing sensitive information or sending photos of classified sites.
