Hip-Hop Lives Here
Back in 1999, a shooting took place at a New York City nightclub following an alleged argument between Matthew “Scar” Allen and Diddy, forever changing the lives of three victims. One of them, Natania Reuben, survived a gunshot wound to the face. Shyne was later convicted of the shooting, and spent roughly a decade behind bars, while Diddy and his bodyguard were acquitted. Reuben has maintained, however, that Puff was allegedly the one who shot her.
During a recent interview with The Art Of Dialogue, she discussed life after the tragic incident, accusing Diddy of putting a hit on her. She alleges that this left her with no choice but to leave Brooklyn, where she had spent her entire life. Reuben insists that this was a necessary step to take in order to protect herself.
“I’m a Brooklyn girl; I was born and raised in Brooklyn,” she explained. “When the District Attorney’s office gets information from one of their confidential informant sources saying that there’s a bag on my head…I had businesses; I was a business owner. Why would I pick up and just leave everything I knew but for the fact that my life depended on it?” She went on to allege that Diddy also put a hit out on Scar, who died as a result of a separate shooting in 2011.
“Scar was on the run after a while because he learned that they had a bag on his head. He eventually got arrested and not too long after he got out of jail, they took him out,” Reuben alleged. AllHipHop reports that the shooting that claimed his life had nothing to do with Diddy. What do you think of Natania Reuben accusing Diddy of putting "a bag" on her head? What about her accusing him of having shot her at an NYC nightclub in 1999? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter is reportedly set to compete in the country category at the 2025 Grammys, following major snubs from the likes of the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards.
The Hollywood Reporter announced that the album had been accepted into the category by the Recording Academy on Wednesday (October 2). While other nominees have yet to be revealed, she’s likely to go up against the likes of Post Malone, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Zach Bryan, Kacey Musgraves and Moroney.
Cowboy Carter is also expected be nominated for album of the year.
This will be Beyoncé’s first time competing in a country category at the awards, as she was previously denied her 2017 submission for Lemonade‘s “Daddy Lessons” to be on the ballot for Best Country Song.
Cowboy Carter has been a major commercial success since its release in March. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 tally with 407,000 equivalent album units in its first week, making for the biggest sales week of 2024 at the time – though it has since been one-upped by Taylor Swift’s latest effort.
Twenty three of the album’s 27 songs also made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, bringing the Houston native’s career total Billboard Hot 100 songs to 106. She is now just the 17th artist and only the third woman to score over 100 entries since the Hot 100 was launched in 1958.
But despite this, Beyoncé was snubbed completely at the 2024 Country Music Awards – receiving zero nominations.
She then came out empty handed at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards – despite receiving the second highest number of nominations this year.
Ahead of the event, which went down on September 26, Bey was up for a staggering 17 nominations for the album.
All winners at the People’s Country Music Awards — a self-proclaimed “award show for the people and by the people” — were decided by fan votes during a pretty tight voting period, which started on August 13 and ended August 23.
But despite the impressive amount of nods, she walked away 0 for 17. She was, however, mentioned by Cowboy Carter-featured artist Shaboozey during his acceptance speech, who thanked the superstar singer for “being amazing.”
