According to the deposition, the NDA called for HBO to withhold from any “foul talk” against Michael Jackson for an indiscriminate amount of time. “HBO shall not make any disparaging remarks concerning Performer or any of his representatives, agents, or business practices or do any act that may harm or disparage or cause to lower in esteem the reputation or public image of..” reads the disclaimer which surfaced in court this afternoon.

The lawsuit could see HBO lose up to $100 million in damages if proven liable on all counts. As you likely already know, Leaving Neverland is centered on the allegations of two of MJ’s known accusers: James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who are now claiming that Jackson molested them when they were children. The lawsuit also claims that Safechuck and Robson hold absolutely no credibility given the fact they both took an oath absolving the King of Pop of any molestation.

The two women were flanked by attorney Gloria Allred when the conference kicked off in New York City. Allred moderated a linear discussion where the alleged victims recounted their participation in an after party put on the disgraced singer. As the story goes, both women were invited to the said party after Kelly spotted them in the crowd at one of his infamous “front row” concerts.

In other R. Kelly-related news, a grand jury has been assembled to investigate a sex tape which allegedly shows the singer engaging in sexual acts with what is believed to be a 14-year-old girl. The damning evidence was presented to Cook County’s State Attorney’s Office by attorney Michael Avenatti. It’s still unclear whether the new accusers are in any way involved with Avenatti’s prosecution efforts in Chicago.

Soulja Boy is fresh off the release of his song “On Gang” which features some fresh faces such as OMB Bloodbath, Peso Peso, Sauce Brazy, Yung Saint Louis, and Murdah Baby. Earlier today, he revealed that he has some big names that will be featured on his next project. Among them are some of his old collaborators as well as some new ones.

“I can’t wait to my album drop. Tory Lanez. Swae lee. Triple Redd. Bhad Bhabie. ASAP Ferg. Asian doll. Smooky margeila, chief Keef, money man, Nicki Minaj, Ronny j, Murda Beatz. Wow,” he wrote on Twitter.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like he landed the Tyga feature Murda Beatz suggested Soulja Boy get for the album.

Soulja Boy’s album, How Could You Blame Me? is set to drop on July 28th. Keep your eyes peeled for that.

Last week Cardi shared a video of her husband Offset and Kulture, teasing that now their little one is now saying both “mama” and “papa.” No other way to celebrate these hip hop family milestones than with the drip.

R. Kelly’s attorney is unhappy that the singer has to move out of his studio.

Who else is surprised that Chicago Police arrested Jussie Smollett for orchestrating his own attack before R. Kelly got sent to jail. Yesterday, it was reported that R. Kelly will be moving out of his Chicago music studio, which he previously used to craft a good number of his hit records. He is leaving on his own will after a curfew was imposed by the judge, not allowing Kelly to be in the building after 9:00 PM. He had previously violated building restrictions that clearly state that the space is not to be used as a residential building. In a statement made yesterday, the singer’s attorney announced that his client would be moving out, comparing him to some of the most famous inventors and artists along the way.

“Thru the years, history has admired creativity,” wrote Steve Greenberg. “Beethoven worked and wrote during the night. So did Freud, Tolstoy, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edison, Elon Musk, and Churchill, amongst thousands of others.” Greenberg went on to note that John Lennon used to spend 24 hours a day in bed while recording. One thing that’s missing from his remarks: those people have not been accused of sexually assaulting countless minors.

The message is closed with a note that R. Kelly will continue to work on his upcoming album elsewhere. What do you think of his statement?
