Cassie’s makeup artist, Danity Kane member speak out
An associate of Cassie Ventura, whose allegations of abuse against Sean “Diddy” Combs kicked off the hip-hop mogul’s deluge of legal woes, is sharing what she witnessed of the pair’s allegedly tumultuous relationship.
Celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales, who worked with the “Me & U” singer, claims she came to Ventura’s rescue in the aftermath of a violent argument with Combs during the Monday premiere of Investigation Discovery’s “The Fall of Diddy,” a four-part docuseries that aims to illuminate the “harrowing allegations of violent behavior and illegal activity” recently leveled against Combs.
Morales said the alleged altercation took place the weekend of the 2010 Grammy Awards. While staying at The Beverly Hills Hotel with Ventura, Morales said an irate Combs burst into the room looking for Ventura, after which the couple stepped away for an argument.
The makeup artist said Ventura was visibly injured after she emerged from the dispute, noting she had “knots on her head, (a) bruised eye” and a “busted lip.” Morales said she then called a friend of hers who was a doctor to treat Ventura, adding that the women did not report the incident to the police nor go to the hospital for further treatment.
“We were scared off Puff. We were always scared of him,” Morales explained. “If we called the police, what would happen? He’s a very powerful person in the business, and he can do things that will make you go away. And many people are afraid of him till this day.”

In response to “Fall of Diddy” producers’ request for comment, Combs’ representatives said: “Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction.”
Ventura’s November 2023 lawsuit against Combs, which was promptly settled a day later, opened the floodgates to a series of accusations of sexual assault and physical violence, which culminated in Combs’ September 2024 arrest on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The Grammy-winning rapper has denied all accusations against him and remains in custody at the Special Housing Unit in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. His trial is set for May 5.
Here are the biggest revelations from “The Fall of Diddy” (streaming now on Max).
Vibe magazine editor says Diddy threatened her over cover shoot
Danyel Smith, former editor-in-chief of Vibe magazine, alleges Combs threatened her in the late 1990s due to a disagreement over the rapper’s cover shoot for the hip-hop outlet.
Smith, who claims the incident happened in the fall of 1997, said Combs expressed interest in seeing the final images for his Vibe cover. After Smith repeatedly declined Combs’ request, citing company policy, the journalist said Combs told her in a phone conversation that he “would see me dead in a trunk.”
Although Combs later reportedly apologized for the remark at the demand of Smith’s attorney, Smith said she had to be escorted by fellow Vibe staffers when she delivered the proofs for Combs’ cover, after staffers alleged Combs came to the publication’s office with “two tough guys looking for me.”
Despite the alleged threat, Smith continued to interact and “be cordial” with Combs: “It’s very hard not to feel complicit. I wish that things were different.”
Howard University alum alleges domestic violence incident
An alumni of Combs’ alma mater, Howard University, alleges they witnessed Combs assault a female student on campus.
The former Howard University student, who is not identified in the docuseries, said the alleged 1988 incident took place outside their dorm after Combs was spotted angrily searching for the female student, at one point whipping the wall with his belt.
When the female student met with Combs, the Howard alumni claimed he began beating her. Despite the alumni’s verbal protests from their dorm window, Combs’ interaction with the young woman continued in the doorway of a different dorm.
“Nobody actually really came to her rescue like we probably should have,” the Howard alumni reflected. “It’s very important to tell that young woman’s story because he was never held accountable.”
Combs was presented with an honorary degree from Howard University in 2014, which was later rescinded by the college’s board of trustees in June 2024.

Concert promoter says Diddy pursued him in ‘high-speed chase’ amid East Coast-West Coast feud
Concert promoter DeWitt Gilmore claims Combs retaliated against him during the East Coast-West Coast feud that defined hip-hop culture in the mid-’90s. (Gilmore sued Combs and his bodyguards in November for assault and battery over the alleged 1996 incident.)
In the documentary, Gilmore claims Combs targeted him after the music mogul spotted him wearing a T-shirt that read “Death Row East.” Death Row Records, a Los Angeles-based record label co-founded by Suge Knight, was famously at odds with Combs’ Bad Boy Records due to the rivalry between their respective artists, 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G.
“He aligned his beef with Suge Knight and Death Row and the West Coast with that T-shirt,” Gilmore said. “So, it’s like, ‘How dare you jump to the other side?’”
Gilmore also alleged Combs pursued him in a “high-speed chase” throughout Manhattan following a tense conversation in their vehicles. At one point, the concert promoter said he and his friend heard gunfire, though it was unclear where the shot came from.
“My whole future would be erased through your menace to society,” said Gilmore, seemingly addressing Combs. “My story is just a piece of the bigger puzzle of his mayhem.”

Shooting victim recalls 1999 club incident: ‘My life was never going to be the same’
A woman who claims Combs shot her during a 1999 nightclub altercation with fellow rapper Moses “Shyne” Barrow is reflecting on the harrowing incident.
Natania Griffin, previously identified as Natania Reuben, said that in the moments leading up to the shooting, she witnessed Combs and Harrow both reach toward their waists to grab their firearms as they were exiting Club New York. The woman, who was shot in the face, added she then saw a “muzzle flash” before feeling the pain of her facial injury.
“I was certain that I was going to be dead at that moment because I didn’t think a human could lose that much blood and still be alive,” said Griffin, later sobbing. “I just knew my life was never going to be the same again.”
Natania Griffin:Shooting victim insists Diddy pulled trigger in 1999 NYC nightclub shooting
Combs was frequenting the Manhattan club with then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez when he and his bodyguard, Anthony “Wolf” Jones, allegedly got into a dispute with Barrow. The resulting gunfight left three people injured, including Griffin. Combs, Lopez, Jones and Barrow were all briefly arrested.
The ensuing jury trial, however, found only Barrow serving prison time — nine years — for charges that included criminal possession of a weapon.
Griffin also recalled the harassment and alleged threats she experienced for speaking out on the shooting, adding she was forced to move homes after noticing “blacked out SUVs” parked in front of her residence. “I was a child of hip-hop,” Griffin said. “I didn’t deserve this. I was a victim. I wanted justice.”
Danity Kane alum D. Woods says Diddy was ‘verbally abusive’
Actress and singer D. Woods, who was a member of Combs’ girl group Danity Kane, spoke out on Combs’ legal troubles in an interview with ABC News’ Eva Pilgrim that aired Monday.
“You know, he is looked at as a hero of our community, and myself included, I looked up to him too,” Woods told Pilgrim. “I would say that this moment now is a time where I feel like my experience, my truth will really be heard and actually considered and believed.”
Woods, whose professional relationship with Combs was documented on MTV’s “Making the Band 3,” said the music mogul created a verbally abusive work environment. “He did it in different ways with all of us, you know, picking and prodding and just a way to chip and knock away, but then praise you,” she said.
Woods’ account of working with Combs will be featured in subsequent episodes of “The Fall of Diddy.”
Woods isn’t the only member of Danity Kane speaking out against Combs. In September 2024, Woods’ former bandmate Dawn Richard sued Combs on 21 counts of sexual assault and battery, sex trafficking, gender discrimination and copyright infringement.

#Cassies #makeup #artist #Danity #Kane #member #speakDanity Kane Star D. Woods Alleges Diddy Treated Her Like ‘A Piece of Meat’
Former Danity Kane member D. Woods is reflecting on what she claims were “troubling interactions” she allegedly had with Sean “Diddy” Combs during her time in the girl group.
Among other claims, Woods, 41, alleged that Combs, 55, fostered a verbally abusive work environment.
“He did it in different ways with all of us, you know, picking and prodding and just a way to chip and knock away, but then praise you,” she said during an interview with Good Morning America on Monday, January 27. “Somebody constantly treating you like a piece of meat.”
Woods went on to recall feeling as though Diddy only valued her for her “sex appeal.”
“In some of the environments, it was even scary to be by yourself,” she added.
Diddy Documentary Producer Hopes Making the Band’s Sara Rivers Felt Coming Forward Was ‘Cathartic’
Danity Kane was formed in 2005, during MTV’s Making the Band 3. Woods — one of the group’s original members — performed alongside Aundrea Fimbres, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard and Aubrey O’Day. (Diddy fired Woods and O’Day from the group during a 2008 episode of Making the Band 4. O’Day eventually returned to the group, but Woods did not.)
“Making the Band was a reality show, and like many others, certain aspects were dramatized for entertainment purposes,” a source told Us Weekly on Monday. “Decisions about the group were always made with a focus on maintaining professionalism, fostering growth, and ensuring the group’s success. Viewers of the show were not shocked or surprised by the events that unfolded onscreen because they were presented transparently.”

Woods explained during her GMA interview on Monday why she’s since decided to speak out about her alleged past experiences.
“I would say that this moment now is a time where I feel like my experience, my truth will really be heard and actually considered and believed,” she shared. “Not talking hasn’t changed anything either.”
Diddy is currently being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial, which is set to start in May. The music mogul was arrested in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty to all charges.
“You know, he is looked at as a hero of our community, and myself included, I looked up to him too,” Woods said during the GMA interview. “So, a lot of people don’t want to believe that their hero can be this other person.”
Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard Sues Diddy, Accuses Him of Brutality, Sexual Abuse and Manipulation
Woods further details her allegations against Diddy in the Investigation Discovery docuseries The Fall of Diddy, which premieres tonight. Diddy’s team has spoken out ahead of the premiere, claiming that the show is “a one-sided and prejudicial narrative” of the musician.
“These documentaries are rushing to cash in on the media circus surrounding Mr. Combs,” a statement shared with Us Weekly read. “The producers failed to provide sufficient time or details for his representatives to address unsubstantiated claims, many from unidentified participants whose allegations lack context. By withholding this information, they made it impossible for Mr. Combs to present facts to counter these fabricated accusations.”
The statement continued, “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every publicity stunt or facially ridiculous claim. He has full confidence in the facts and the judicial process, where the truth will prevail: the accusations against him are pure fiction.”
Danity Kane Star D. Woods Alleges Diddy Treated Her Like ‘A Piece of Meat’Former Danity Kane member D. Woods has spoken out about her experience working with music mogul Diddy, alleging that he treated her like “a piece of meat.”
In a recent interview, D. Woods revealed that while she was a member of the popular girl group, she often felt objectified and disrespected by Diddy. She claimed that he would make inappropriate comments about her appearance and body, and would often prioritize the other members of the group over her.
D. Woods also alleged that Diddy would pressure her to dress in revealing outfits and participate in photoshoots that made her uncomfortable. She stated that she felt as though she was being used for her looks rather than her talent.
The singer went on to say that she ultimately decided to leave Danity Kane and pursue a solo career because of the toxic environment created by Diddy. She expressed her disappointment in how she was treated and urged others in the industry to stand up against mistreatment and objectification.
Diddy has yet to respond to D. Woods’ allegations, but the singer’s brave decision to speak out has sparked a conversation about the treatment of women in the music industry. It is important for artists to feel respected and valued for their talent, rather than being reduced to mere objects for someone else’s profit.

Harry Kane and Eric Dier combined for a goal in the Bundesliga to become the first Englishmen to do so in the league’s history.
Kane opened the scoring for Bayern Munich in the 15th minute of their clash against SC Freiburg – a fixture that they won 2-1.

Kane has as many goals as appearances this campaign in the BundesligaCredit: Getty On the right-hand side of the pitch, Dier played a pass into the feet of the striker who turned his man and fired into the bottom corner of Noah Atubolu’s net.
It was Kane’s 17th league goal of the season, edging him closer to the Bundesliga’s Golden Boot award.
It was also a strike which ended a rather unique run in which Kane had failed to score from open play in two months.
His closest competitor for the trophy was Omar Marmoush, formerly of Eintracht Frankfurt, who recently completed a £59m move to Manchester City.
Kim Min-jae followed suit next with a goal in the 54th minute to double the lead.
Freiburg did score soon after but it was simply a consolation goal.
Speaking on his Cleats Club messaging app afterwards, Kane said: “Big away win today guys, really tough place to go.
“I think they had one of the best home records in the Bundesliga this year, so knew it was going to be a big fight and tough battle.
“So year, top mentality from the boys to go there and get the three points, and put ourselves a couple more points ahead was really important today so massive credit to everyone for the way we’ve worked and the way we’ve bounced back from midweek is really important.
“We use this now, two home games coming up, and another big week – so yeah, let’s keep the three points coming.”

Dier joined Spurs in 2014 where he played with Kane for nine yearsCredit: Getty Before the match, Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl was asked directly about Kane’s lack of goals from open play.
He said: “Harry is the least of my worries. When you have a young player, you might worry more, but Harry Kane has had so many highs and also some lows.
“So if anyone can cope and deal with it, it’s Harry Kane,” he added.
“He hasn’t scored from open play for a long time, but he also was injured. Of course, we need his goals.
“He knows that and is probably the one who is most critical of himself. But I don’t think it’s causing a mental problem for Harry.”
Kane since coming to Germany has not been a stranger to criticism despite an impressive 66 goals in 69 appearances.

Kane relished Bayern’s response to their midweek defeat in EuropeCredit: Instagram Dier has also been slammed for his performances for Bayern but has been a key piece for the club, especially when the likes of Dayot Upamecano and Kim are unavailable.
“Eric is a player with a lot of experience who knows what to do in these moments,” said Vincent Kompany earlier this month. “Players like Eric have character and always prioritise the team.”
Kane and Dier, who played together at Tottenham, are yet to attain silverware for Bayern as Bayer Leverkusen infamously won their first-ever title last season.
But with Xavi Alonso’s side drawing with RB Leipzig, Bayern are now six points clear on top of the table.
In a historic moment for English footballers in the Bundesliga, Harry Kane and Eric Dier have made history with an all-time first in Bayern Munich’s recent win.In their match against Bayern Munich, Kane and Dier became the first English players to score in a Bundesliga game together. Kane netted a goal in the first half, while Dier scored a crucial goal in the second half to secure a 2-1 victory for their team.
This milestone achievement not only showcases the talent and skill of these two players but also highlights the increasing presence of English players in top European leagues.
Fans and pundits alike are buzzing about this feat, with many praising Kane and Dier for their impressive performances on the pitch. It’s a proud moment for English football and a sign of things to come for these two talented players.
Congratulations to Harry Kane and Eric Dier for making history in the Bundesliga and for putting English football on the map in Germany. Here’s to many more memorable moments to come! #Bundesliga #HarryKane #EricDier #BayernMunich #EnglishFootball

Freiburg 1-2 Bayern Munich: Harry Kane scores as visitors go six points clear
Harry Kane scored from open play for the first time since November as Bayern Munich went six points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table with a win against Freiburg.
The England captain opened the scoring for the Bavarians with a powerful effort into the bottom left-hand corner.
It was the 31-year-old’s 23rd goal of the campaign and his first from open play since a 3-0 win against Augsburg on 22 November, when he hit a hat-trick.
South Korea defender Kim Min-jae doubled Bayern’s lead with his fourth goal for the club as he headed in Joshua Kimmich’s corner.
Freiburg halved Bayern’s advantage with 22 minutes left of normal time when substitute Matthias Ginter headed in from a corner.
But 32-time German champions Bayern held on to increase their buffer at the top of the table.
That is because champions Bayer Leverkusen failed to keep the pressure on Bayern, conceding an equaliser in the 85th minute in a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig.
In a thrilling match at the Schwarzwald-Stadion, Bayern Munich emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Freiburg. The visitors took the lead early on through a goal from Harry Kane, who continues to impress since his move to Bayern.Freiburg fought back valiantly and managed to equalize through a goal from their top scorer, but Bayern regained the lead with a goal from another new signing, securing the three points.
With this win, Bayern Munich now sits six points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table, further solidifying their position as title contenders. Harry Kane’s impact on the team has been undeniable, and his goal-scoring prowess has been crucial in their recent success.
The race for the Bundesliga title is heating up, and Bayern Munich will be looking to maintain their lead as they aim to reclaim the championship once again.

Friday means New Country, and today you get the new album from Kane Brown called “The High Road,” featuring his hit “Miles On It” and his latest single “Backseat Driver.” Also, mom-to-be Lauren Alaina is out with her new single today called “Those Kind of Women.”
Another new single that I got excited about when I first heard about the collaboration is out today. Wherever you listen to music, go find “Place They Call Home” by Castellows featuring Flatland Cavalry.
One of the tracks on Kane Brown’s new album is “Haunted,” featuring Jelly Roll. In a recent interview, Kane told the story about how he believed Jelly Roll hated him, but now they are close friends, play a lot of Call of Duty together, and randomly Facetime each other at 3 am.
As much as Bailey Zimmerman beat himself up about his drunken performance and Crash My Playa and later apologized, some of his country peers are lifting him up and showing him grace. Morgan Wallen said, “I thought you sounded great,” Chase Rice said, “Been there” and Meghan Patrick complimented him for owning it and told him to learn from it and move on.
Blake Shelton is opening up about what he calls one of the biggest mistakes of his life. Blake says it’s the barbed wire tattoo on his left forearm. He swore when he got it in 2005 he’d never get another one; to this day, it’s the only tattoo he has.
Hey y’all, it’s JJ here with your weekly dose of country music news! Today we’ve got a jam-packed episode of New Music Friday, with some juicy gossip thrown in for good measure. Let’s dive in!First up, did Jelly Roll hate Kane Brown? Rumors have been swirling that the two country artists had some bad blood between them, but Jelly Roll set the record straight in a recent interview. He explained that there was some miscommunication between them, but that they’re all good now. Phew, crisis averted!
Next, let’s talk about Blake Shelton’s biggest mistake. The country superstar recently admitted that his biggest regret was not recording a duet with his fiancée, Gwen Stefani, sooner. Fans have been clamoring for a collaboration between the two for years, so here’s hoping they hit the studio soon!
And finally, let’s highlight some of the hottest new releases in country music this week. From Luke Combs’ latest single to Miranda Lambert’s upcoming album, there’s no shortage of great music to check out. So grab your cowboy hat and boots, and get ready to two-step the night away!

Kane Brown & Jelly Roll – ‘Haunted’
Official Release Date: January 24th, 2025
Album: The High Road
Songwriters: Kane Brown, Gabe Foust & Jaxson Free
Kane Brown has never shied away from being vulnerable, but even so, ’Haunted’ finds the ’Miles On It’ singer-songwriter digging further than ever before as he delves into themes of depression and suicide on this powerful Jelly Roll collaboration.
Kane Brown first teased ‘Haunted’ in a 2024 discussion with Holler, with the title of the track being initially inspired during a stint at the UK’s Stock Exchange Hotel, which he felt had an eerie ambience. Of all the tracks on Brown’s 2025 album, The High Road, ‘Haunted’ is the perfect one for Jelly Roll to guest on, with the ’Save Me’ crooner accentuating the darkness and drama of the track with his raspy, charismatic delivery, as the duo trade verses on their mental health.
Kane Brown’s 2025 album, The High Road, is pervaded by a willingness to blur the lines between genres such as traditional country, R&B, EDM and much more. ‘Haunted’ is grounded in country, but with the help of Jelly Roll’s atmospheric vocals and gravitas, the brooding offering takes on a cinematic, rock-tinged energy.
The fact that the title is repeated throughout the hook and the outro gives it the feel of a persistent, invasive thought piercing the narrator’s peace, with the fiery electric guitars and deliberate drum pattern consolidating the angst and turbulence of this anthem.
“Waking up in cold sweats
California king beds
Got the diamond set
Shoes that ain’t released yet
Maserati sports car
Singing songs that everybody knows on the guitar
They say I’m a superstar”In both their verses, Kane Brown and Jelly Roll explain that their fame, fortune and status have not eased the mental anguish they’ve experienced from a young age – if anything, they imply the material wealth on offer to them has intensified their problems.
The nod to ‘California King beds’ could be an Easter Egg reference to a line in Kane Brown’s ’Miles On It’ (“Just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King / We could break it in if you know what I mean”) which is much more celebratory and carefree, emphasising the contrast with the more personal ‘Haunted’.
“But oh (Oh)
I still got this feeling in my bones (Bone)
Happens every time that I’m alone
Part of me is feeling like a ghost, oh-woah”Kane Brown builds on the titular theme by describing the feeling of being ‘a ghost’, perhaps conveying his sense of hollowness and emptiness. Despite his success, he describes being dogged by a sense of detachment and numbness due to his mental struggles.
“’Cause I’m haunted by the voice in my head
I’m haunted by the taste of that lead
I wanted too many times to jump off the edge
Thinkin’ I was better off dead
I’m haunted only ever other night
I’m haunted and I wish I knew why
I wanted too many times to be gone by the mornin’
If I’m honest
Yeah, I’m haunted
Woah, yeah
Yeah, I’m haunted (I’m haunted)”The hook is particularly striking and candid, with the protagonists admitting they’ve experienced suicidal thoughts, as is highlighted through the line, “haunted by the taste of that lead”, which seemingly refers to the act of putting a gun in one’s mouth. This theme of wanting to escape their demons through death continues over the course of the hook, but thankfully, in the broader narrative of the album on which ‘Haunted’ appears, the protagonist manages to overcome his depression.
“If I’m bein’ real
I spent my whole life escapin’ the pills
If I’m bein’ real
I think I was happier when I couldn’t pay the bills
If I’m bein’ real (If I’m bein’ real)
I’m searchin’ for purpose
I feel wealthy but worthless
If I’m bein’ real
I don’t know if it’s worth it”Jelly Roll’s verse introduces a new dimension to these mental health struggles, with the Nashville native touching on a dependence on pills, before calling back to Kane Brown’s opening lines by confessing he thinks he was happier when he wasn’t as rich.
This mentality is underlined in the visceral lyric, “I’m searchin’ for purpose / I feel wealthy but worthless”. Although Jelly Roll did not write ‘Haunted’, he has spoken about his struggle with drug abuse in the past, so this verse seems to resonate with his story.
What has Kane Brown said about ‘Haunted’?
During a 2024 interview with Holler, Kane Brown explained where the kernel of ‘Haunted’ came from, “I was in Manchester at the Stock Exchange Hotel – the craziest hotel I’ve ever been to with very big rooms like a bank vault, because the whole thing used to be a bank. They give you a key right when you check in, and if you have the bank vault room, you have your own secret entrance, which was really cool…”
Brown expanded, “But anyway, I thought it felt haunted, so when I was with my writers in the room we automatically had a title…It’s about depression, and you know, no matter how much money you make, no matter what you go through in life, if you go through depression, you do kind of feel haunted because you can’t escape it…You have to kind of find your way out of being depressed. So we just went to our darkest and deepest parts of our minds and wrote this dark, beautiful song”.

Kane Brown Insists Jelly Roll Used to Hate Him!
Kane Brown is set to release his new album, The High Road, on Friday (Jan. 24). It includes a collaboration with Jelly Roll about a tough subject: Depression.
They’re obviously cool now, but in a revealing interview with Taste of Country Nights, Brown insists that Jelly Roll used to really hate him.
“I heard of him before he had ever gotten in the country industry, because I was hanging out with some other guys that were in the world that Jelly was in,” Brown explains. “We had the same kinda background.”
But they never talked to each other, even though they had mutual friends.
“Our buddy, Taylor Phillips, he told Jelly … so Jelly will tell you this, he hated me,” Brown says.
As fans may remember, when he was just coming up in the ranks, Brown was pretty shy and subdued as an artist.
“Taylor told him [Jelly] ‘Nah, man, you don’t know him — he’s just really quiet.’”
Brown, now 31, is recalls that he reached out to Jelly Roll directly so they could cut through the beef and ideally, become friends.
“Taylor ended up telling me the story, so I ended up reaching out to Jelly, I was like, ‘Hey buddy, this industry’s crazy. If you ever need to sit down and talk to me, or play COD’ — I play a lot of Call of Duty — ‘You can come and talk to me about it.’”
Jelly took him up on it, and they played Call of Duty together. They were fast friends.
“So we ended up laying Call of Duty and hitting it off and basically just text all the time,” Brown says of their friendship now. “Random FaceTimes at 3AM.”
“I wrote this song and though of him jumping on it.” That song is “Haunted.”
“But the funny thing is, the other day we were shooting the music video for it and he was like, ‘Is this thing on?’” Brown says Jelly asked, mimicking what the “Save Me” hitmaker did next.
“He was like, ‘I used to f–kingng hate this dude!’” Jelly Roll said into the camera, per Brown. “That was the first thing he said. It was right in front of my team and everything.”
“Then, he [Jelly] was like, ‘But now I love this guy!’”
It threw Brown for a loop, even though he kind of knew Jelly didn’t like him before they really knew each other.
“I was like, ‘You never told me this in person,’” he says.
Fortunately, it’s nothing but love and good vibes these days.
“Jelly’s such a good guy, man. I love him and I’m proud of his success and he amplified this song, I’m just glad he’s on it,” Brown says. “Hopefully we get a big hit that’s huge awareness for people to know they’re not alone going through depression.”
In support of his new album, Brown will embark on his The High Road Tour in March.
