On this day in 2003, James Tapp Jr., who is better known to the Hip Hop community as Soulja Slim, was shot and killed in front of his mother’s residence the night before Thanksgiving in his hometown of New Orleans. He was 26 years old.
Slim’s killer, the 22-year-old Gerelle Smith, was arrested on New Year’s Eve for the shooting but was released after no witnesses would come forward, even though the murder weapon was found in Smith’s possession. In August 2011, Smith was also shot and killed.
The New Orleans District Attorney’s office still has Slim’s murder listed as a cold case.
Soulja Slim is best known for his Juvenile assisted “Slow Motion”, which was the premiere track that featured both of New Orleans’ Hip-Hop first families; No Limit Records and Cash Money Records.
Salute to Slim (RIP) and the city of New Orleans for giving the world a chance to hear the voice of one of its kings.

Fans are buzzing with excitement after Lil Baby hinted on social media that a “totally different” chapter in his career is on the way. The Atlanta rapper is gearing up to make a significant impact in the hip-hop world with a new album and a fresh perspective.

It’s That Time! I Would Say Again, But This Run Will Be Totally Different!!” His words showed his confidence and suggested he was ready to bring something new to his music.
Lil Baby has already given fans a taste of this new direction with his latest single, “5AM.” But what’s really getting people excited is his collaborations with other big names like Travis Scott, Future, and especially Young Thug, who has just been released from jail. Their teamwork is especially noteworthy since Young Thug has hinted at working on something with Lil Baby, leading fans to think a new song might drop soon.
However, there’s some drama surrounding these developments. New rumors suggest there might be tension between Young Thug and Gunna, which could involve Lil Baby, especially concerning some ongoing controversies. After Young Thug made a brief and cryptic post on social media, fans are curious to see if Lil Baby’s new path will also involve taking sides.
Regardless of the drama, Lil Baby shows determination as he builds excitement for a deeply personal project. He’s already previewed some new songs during his concerts, making it clear that he’s ready to make his mark in the industry again.

Attorney Tony Buzbee Pushes Legal Crusade Against Celebrities Linked to Diddy’s Alleged Parties
The legal situation surrounding Diddy is heating up as prominent lawyer Tony Buzbee expands his efforts beyond just the music mogul himself. Buzbee is known for representing more than 120 people who have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of misconduct. Now, he is also looking at other celebrities who may have been at Diddy’s infamous parties, where allegations of bad behavior occurred. Buzbee is sending a strong message to those who ignored what was happening: they need to either pay up or may face lawsuits that could seriously harm their reputations.
In a recent appearance on TMZ’s documentary titled The Downfall Of Diddy: Inside The Freak-Offs, Buzbee talked about the responsibility of celebrities who attended these events. He highlighted that those who saw or heard about alleged sexual abuse and drugging yet chose to stay silent are just as guilty as the ones accused. Buzbee revealed that some of these stars have already received letters demanding they settle privately or risk facing public lawsuits.
This situation has significant implications. Buzbee’s tough stance comes as personalities like Ray J speak up, claiming that various stars have contacted him worried about their involvement. Ray J has been vocal about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds and suggested that some celebrities try settling with victims before more accusations come to light. It’s unclear if Ray J’s claims indicate real legal trouble or growing anxiety among those involved, but Buzbee’s push for accountability adds a new twist to the ongoing story.
Focused initially on Diddy, this legal battle now shows how famous figures can get caught up in high-profile scandals. As Diddy faces serious federal and criminal cases, the potential consequences for others connected to him are becoming more evident. For now, Tony Buzbee is committed to seeking justice, clarifying that being famous won’t protect anyone from the law. Whether these efforts lead to public trials or quiet settlements, it’s clear that pressure is building for those linked to Diddy’s controversial events.
