Ice Cube’s recent comments about Jennifer Lopez and Diddy’s involvement in a past incident have sparked speculation. It appears that Ice Cube is cautioning JLo to be prepared because Diddy might have compromising information about her.
The story dates back to an incident in 1999 involving a shooting, where allegations surfaced that Lopez was carrying Diddy’s gun in her purse. Ice Cube, who worked with JLo on the film Anaconda, seems to be addressing these rumors, hinting that Diddy could potentially implicate Lopez if the case is reopened by the authorities.
There are reports that a woman who claims Diddy assaulted her during this event is willing to cooperate with federal investigators if the case is revisited. She alleges that Diddy boasted about using Lopez to sneak the weapon into the club where the incident occurred.
This situation adds to a series of challenges for Jennifer Lopez, including a recent movie flop and criticism on social media. Ice Cube’s advice to JLo seems to highlight the seriousness of the situation and the potential legal repercussions she might face.
It remains uncertain what Lopez’s next steps will be and whether she will heed Ice Cube’s warning to testify against Diddy if required. The unfolding events suggest a complex and potentially troubling situation for JLo, with implications reaching back into her past.
Amid her detainment, an attorney was found in the vehicle at the time. A sergeant on scene subsequently ordered the arrest of everyone present in the vehicle. The officer quoted Lopez as saying, “It’s not my JLo’s relationship with Diddy is back in the spotlight, thanks to some fresh drama from way back in 1999. Remember how Rodney “Lil’ Rod” Jones filed a lawsuit against Diddy in February, accusing him of operating a RICO enterprise? Well, Lil’ Rod recently amended his lawsuit, introducing new details about the 1999 nightclub incident involving Diddy and JLo. According to Lil’ Rod, Diddy admitted involvement in a shooting and allegedly boasted that JLo handed him the gun. This incident occurred on December 27th, 1999, at Midtown’s Club New York, where Diddy, JLo, and Bad Boy artist Shine were partying. Trouble started when Diddy reportedly spilled a drink on Matthew Allen, aka Scar, a Brooklyn ex-convict known for his temper. Scar retaliated by throwing cash at Diddy, making a scene about Diddy’s spending habits. Tempers flared, shots were fired, and chaos ensued. Witnesses claim they saw Diddy in the midst of it, with three clubgoers injured, including a woman hit in the face by a bullet. Diddy and JLo fled in his Lincoln Navigator but were soon pulled over for running a red light. In the trunk, police found a stolen 9mm handgun, leading to arrests and a night in jail for JLo, who reportedly spent 14 hours distraught, crying throughout her ordeal.
Charges against JLo were swiftly dropped after she cooperated with investigators, maintaining her innocence. Diddy, Shine, and Diddy’s bodyguard, Wolf, faced trial for gun charges. Shine received a 10-year sentence, while Diddy and Wolf escaped conviction. Diddy had notable legal representation, including Johnny Cochran and Benjamin Brafman, who argued self-defense and raised doubts about who fired the gun. Rumors circulated that Diddy betrayed Shine, allegedly pressuring witnesses and paying them to testify against him. Shine expressed his disillusionment, stating, “Money, money. You’re supposed to be my brother, and you got people testifying against me.”
Witnesses were testifying, recounting their experiences. They were brought to Puff first, detailing what they observed regarding Shine and his actions immediately following the incident. JLo ended her relationship with Diddy and has not dated a rapper since. Diddy texts her, asking if Shine still tries to contact her. It seems like he must, but… no. That was an awkward no. Okay, she said no. Has Diddy made it difficult for black men, particularly those in hip-hop? After him, is it like, “I’m not dating any more black hip-hop artists”? You know what? I’m a bit off musicians, so I won’t lie. JLo worked hard to change her image and distance herself from the gangster persona she adopted with Diddy. Soon after their split, she began dating someone like Affleck.
JLo appeared hesitant to discuss her relationship with Diddy, never mentioning the incident that led to her arrest. Access Hollywood recently caught up with Diddy, who had praise for you and your judging on the show. He thinks you’re doing a great job. He said, “Let me find the quote. The way she’s handled it, she’s been such a compassionate person. It made me cry like twice, and then he’s going to be a mentor on the show.” So he said he’s going to be the one to show the kids how to do it right. Do you have any advice for him on how to come off? No, I mean, he knows what he’s doing. I don’t really have anything. No advice for him, no advice for him. Any thoughts on his kind words? It’s nice, sweet, but it seems like all the effort JLo put in over the years to bury that whole mess with Diddy is now coming back to haunt her. Last month, Diddy’s former producer, Rodney “Lil’ Rod” Jones, amended his lawsuit against Diddy, claiming that Diddy admitted he was responsible for the incident at the nightclub in New York City involving Ray J. Shine, and that Jennifer had carried the firearm into the club for him. He probably said that to Lil’ Rod as a way to intimidate him, to show what he’s capable of, trying to instill fear in him or something.
It’s unbelievable, really. And you know, often these celebrities may not be publicly speaking out, but rest assured they’re watching these videos and listening. They’re probably consulting their legal teams like, “What’s our next move?” Because as I mentioned earlier, Diddy’s likely thinking, “If I’m going down, I’m taking a lot of others down with me.” So, he passed him the gun after the altercation with another person. Meanwhile, the woman involved in the incident has now come forward, claiming that for the past 24 years, she’s been saying that Diddy was the one who hurt her. Unfortunately, no one listened to her, and she was accused of lying. Natania Ruin, one of the victims in the club shooting, recently commented on Lil’ Rod’s lawsuit, reconfirming that Diddy was the one who injured her in the face.
Natania highlighted Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy from November, where she alleged that Diddy forced her to carry a gun in her purse, a practice he supposedly has had since the ’90s. According to Natania, Cassie stated that Diddy made her bring his gun into nightclubs and other places, threatening her to comply. Among many significant details, one key element stood out to me: in Lil’ Rod’s lawsuit against the producer, Diddy allegedly threatened and physically harmed them. Diddy specifically mentioned a 1999 incident at Club New York, claiming responsibility for the shooting that led to Shine taking the blame. This resonates deeply with me because I was the woman shot in the face during that same incident on December 27th, 1999. Natania has been discussing this for years, even telling hospital staff during her surgery that Diddy was responsible. I have consistently spoken out about this, and even the surgeon who operated on me testified in court about my claims. Natania asserts that Diddy paid off individuals, including the club owner, to suppress security footage of the incident—an alleged pattern of behavior for him. Before these lawsuits surfaced, Natania endured over two decades of online harassment from trolls allegedly sent by Diddy. She recalls encountering defensive comments online, suspecting they were orchestrated to discredit her. Natania expresses frustration at the skepticism she faced, emphasizing her longstanding claims against Diddy.
Oh, baby, you haven’t seen anything yet. Not only did he physically assault me, but he also orchestrated a campaign against me for the past 24 years. But it didn’t stop there. Natania revealed that the harassment wasn’t just limited to nasty online comments. She claimed that Diddy went as far as sending people to intimidate her by sabotaging her car. Allegedly, they kept blowing out her tires repeatedly. When I tell you what I went through, in 2017 and 2018, I had seven flat tires on my BMW. Seven. All on the same tire within a two-year period. Every time it happened, I had to replace the tire with a new one. I have pictures to prove it.
Natania explained that Diddy was doing all this because before Cassie filed her lawsuit, she was the only one who successfully sued Diddy and forced him to pay up.
