Diddy Shuts Down Major Hip-Hop Trend
Puff Daddy says that the renowned luxury watch brand Richard Mille makes ugly timepieces. He let fans know he wasn’t in on the wave and didn’t have any interest in purchasing one or having one as they were a waste of money. Diddy has a point – the price for a Richard Mille varies from $80,000 to more than $2 million.
“I’m not a hater though, I’m a connoisseur of fly sh*t. But I’m just telling y’all you getting tricked by the Richard Mille. The Richard Mille is like a Timex or some shit like that. You understand what I’m saying? It’s not hot. I have like two or three. I never pull ’em out… they ugly. I don’t even wanna hate. I don’t even know Richard Mille. But fu*k, I’m on some Black sh*t. Black man, save your money and go buy a house.”

“There is nothing I can write that will take away this pain. I have to say RIP to my mentor, my big brother, the man who changed my life forever. You were the kindest person the world has ever seen. You were the most gifted musician I have ever been around. You treated me like family from day one. You made a point to the labels that I had to fly to New York with you on every session.

COVID-19 Possibly Played A Role In Chucky’s Passing
According to at least one outlet, the cause of death might have a direct connection to the pandemic. COVID-19 is believed to have been the cause of his death.
Unfortunately, the man behind hits like The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Big Poppa,” Faith Evans’ “You Used To Love Me,” and Nas’ classic track “One Mic,” died after a fight with COVID-19. Chucky Thompson was a member of Bad Boy Entertainment’s legendary “Hitmen” production team. Thompson was one of the founding members of the squad, which included Easy Moe Bee and Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie. (AHH)
