Even though Toure has told this story many times, the Sean Combs scandal has made it pop up over and over again when he's asked about it. The hip-hop journalist recently sat down with DJ Vlad for a VladTV interview, during which Vlad asked about his personal relationship with Diddy. This led Touré to recall an album review of The Saga Continues... he wrote for Rolling Stone in which he criticized Diddy for the following lyric in "Bad Boys For Life," alluding to ghostwriting claims: "Don't worry if I write rhymes, I write checks." Allegedly, this struck a nerve with the Bad Boy mogul, who then called the music writer.
"[Diddy] is calling me," Touré explained his story. "I saw the sort of full Puff thing in this story. 'Cause first, he was nice and cool. [...] Very awkward. Like, I don't want to discuss the article I wrote with you... But I thought that line was wack. He's being nice, like, 'Can you take that out?' I could never go to Rolling Stone and say, 'Hey, Diddy asked me to take a line out of my review.' No, that's insane. I could never do that, I would never do that. [...] What you said was wack! So then he starts to get upset, and he's yelling at me. I do remember him saying, 'I will end your career.'"
Then, Touré claimed that he didn't really take Diddy seriously. However, things allegedly calmed down and went "back to nice" in the call, according to the reporter. In fact, he allegedly received an invitation to one of Combs' White Parties in the Hamptons (not the more disturbing alleged fare) about two weeks later, which made him feel like they were on good terms after the call. Unfortunately for Touré, who was admittedly and allegedly under the influence of substances at the time, he ended up facing an alleged rant about the matter from the music executive in a private setting, for which Jennifer Lopez was also allegedly present.
Ironically enough, Touré's review of The Saga Continues... was positive, and he claimed that the "G-Rated" White Party was a good time and unrelated to the current scandal around Diddy. Elsewhere, the journalist has spoken about other folks making allegations about celebrities from a more critical perspective.

Rihanna recently released her new Savage X Fenty line at Nordstrom stores and celebrated its arrival with an event in LA. It took place at Nordstrom Century City, where RiRi chatted with reporters. One even asked her who she would want to sing the Savage X Fenty theme song if it had one.
After thinking for a few seconds, she delivered her answer. “GloRilla," she said simply. “To see a young lady who’s still grounded in who she is and where she came from, I love that." Rihanna's response doesn't come as too much of a surprise, as this isn't the first time she showed love to the Memphis rapper. In June of this year, she shared a clip of her dancing and rapping along to "TGIF," leaving her partner ASAP Rocky stunned.
Regardless, Glo took to Twitter/X yesterday to react to Rihanna's praise. "Can’t nobody tell me sh*ttttttttt," she wrote. She had a big reaction to Rihanna's aforementioned dancing video too, making it clear that she appreciated the shoutout. "RIRI OMGGGGGG," she wrote alongside a series of heart-eye emojis. "I luvvv yoouuuuuuuuu." Rihanna even went on to DM GloRilla to ask when she was dropping her album Glorious, which eventually arrived earlier this month. "You got all summer sis," Rihanna's message read. "I know dis wild hypocritical, but when the album drop?"
Rihanna isn't the only fellow female celeb who's shown GloRilla love as of late, however. Last week, Taylor Swift also took to Instagram to share a clip of herself strutting to Glo's new track with Sexyy Red "WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME" before her Miami "Eras" tour stops. What do you think of Rihanna revealing that she would choose GloRilla to perform a Savage X Fenty theme song if it had one? What about Glo's reaction to the compliment? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
