Sean Combs, also known to listeners as Puffy or P Diddy, has returned to headlines with significant developments this week. According to the Associated Press and WTOP, the LA County Sheriff's Department is actively investigating a new sexual battery claim against Combs as of November 18, 2025. The investigation centers on allegations from a male music producer and publicist, who asserts that Diddy exposed himself and solicited sexual activity back in 2020. TMZ reports that Combs strongly denies the accusations, but law enforcement officials have confirmed the investigation is ongoing, keeping Combs in the legal spotlight.While the focus is on these legal troubles, many listeners may recall that Combs has shifted identities and rebranded himself numerous times throughout his storied career. As detailed by DHgate, these name changes—from Puff Daddy to P Diddy, then simply Diddy—have often paralleled his ventures into fashion, beverages like Ciroc Vodka, and various media projects, each rebrand reflecting a new chapter in his ambitious business portfolio.Despite his recent controversies, Combs remains one of the wealthiest moguls in hip-hop. Hormiprent highlights that the vast majority of his fortune comes from business holdings, most notably profits from Ciroc and his fashion line Sean John, as well as real estate investments. His international business reach is substantial, especially in markets outside the United States, further solidifying his status as a global influencer, as reported by apps.ritemate.That's the latest on Sean Combs—his ongoing legal battles and enduring business empire continue to generate conversation across the entertainment industry.

In this hard-hitting monologue episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, host Bryan Dawson, CEO of 1819 News, breaks down the "flea flicker" political plays being run on Alabama values. Using football as a metaphor, Dawson exposes how opponents manipulate public opinion to advance agendas that erode traditional values—warning listeners to spot the setup at the line of scrimmage before the snap. Using previous major political failures as game film, he traces the path liberals have used to attain power. Talking points repeated ad nauseum, paying off people of influence, and employing the power of media is the flea flicker that our foes continue to use and we can't seem to stop them. Dawson explains how this same strategy normalized LGBTQ ideology, starting with "love is love" talking points, turning into media saturation via shows like Will & Grace, which led to the Obergefell decision, which forced same sex marriage onto all 50 states. The downward spiral has turned into gay pride parades, the trans agenda, and now homosexual men adopting young boys. What could go wrong? This downward spiral started with a few talking points being repeated ad nauseum and ended with gay couples renting women's wombs to create designer babies. In a democracy, the only thing you need to move your political objectives forward is to win the battle for public opinion and the left has mastered this play. Next, Dawson reveals the Alabama Education Association's (AEA) rebrand from a liberal powerhouse—once dictating votes from the gallery under Paul Hubbert—to a "conservative Christian" entity cozying up to Republican supermajority legislators with big checks and conservative rhetoric. Despite being an affiliate of the radical Marxist NEA, the AEA infiltrated the GOP, stalled school choice, and is now pushing homeschool regulation after losing public school enrollment. Their conservative mask slipped with their communicated intent to regulate homeschoolers, and when they recently made a $100,000 donation to Marxist Mobile mayoral candidate, Barbara Drummond. Finally, Dawson sounds the alarm on creeping Islamic influence, dubbing the Islamic activists in Hoover the emerging "Hoover Caliphate." Drawing parallels to Dearborn and Minneapolis, he cites grooming scandals in the UK, H-1B visa labor displacement, and a personal encounter with a young Muslim woman offering partnership and funds to 1819 News—rejecting it as a conquest play masked in shared "Republican values." This Islamic play is the play that is about to be run, and Dawson encourages everyone to see it for what it is so it can be stopped before putting any points on the board. Dawson urges vigilance: don't allow our kindness to be weaponized against us. Reject pay-for-play media, refuse tainted money, and call out infiltration before cultural subversion becomes demographic dominance. You won't want to miss this powerful episode.

They discuss the impact of rebranding, the importance of personal identity, and the pressures of social media. Dreya shares her journey from being a weed grower to a successful DJ, the struggles of writer's block, and the significance of saying no to opportunities that don't align with her vision. The duo also delves into the gender dynamics within the music scene and the evolving nature of sound and style in today's industry.Who is Dreya V: As MISS DRE, Drea Kaplan was already carving her lane: charting vocals, breakout festival sets at EDC Las Vegas and Project GLOW, a viral Tinashe remix rinsed by Dom Dolla and MEDUZA. But DREYA V is the refined vision - a full-spectrum artist who doesn't just belong in the booth, she owns it. Tracks like her debut on Aeterna, Light The Fire, showed her command of contrast - tough drums and tender toplines. Now, Up Front hammers it home: DREYA V isn't blending in. She's cutting through.Join for updates: https://laylo.com/willclarke⏲ Follow Will Clarke ⏱https://djwillclarke.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OmOdgwIzub8DYPxQYbbbi?si=hEx8GCJAR3mhhhWd_iSuewhttps://www.instagram.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.facebook.com/willclarkedjhttps://twitter.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.tiktok.com/@djwillclarke Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode, Damien discusses a significant rule change that provides UK investors with a new, regulated way to access crypto assets. He explains how crypto ETNs work, the potential tax advantages and the risks you need to be aware of before investing. He also explores a thought-provoking idea: could simply changing the names of everyday financial products or concepts, such as credit cards or the state pension, improve people's understanding and therefore their finances?Check out this week's podcast article on the Money to the Masses website to see the full list of resources from this week's show.Follow Money to the Masses on social media:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/moneytothemassesFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/moneytothemassesInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/moneytothemasses Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@moneytothemassesYou may already compare products and services online and make purchases but by doing so via our dedicated page you might not only save money but could also earn cashback or take advantage of exclusive offers for MTTM listeners.Every time you use a link on the page we may earn a small amount of money for our podcast.

CannCon and Ashe in America take on one of the biggest election stories in years, Dominion's quiet sale and rebrand to “Liberty Vote.” The duo unpacks how this deal was kept hidden from state officials, why the same players remain in charge, and what it really means for America's election systems. Ashe shares behind-the-scenes details from Colorado's county clerks and the contradictions between official statements and what's being told to local leaders. CannCon exposes the merger's deeper implications, from potential data consolidation to the loss of election transparency, and questions whether the public is simply being pacified with a new name. Joined by election integrity expert Holly Kesler, they trace the tangled web of companies behind Dominion, KnowInk, and Liberty Vote, warning that this merger could create a monopoly over both machines and poll pads. The discussion expands to Georgia's election board corruption, Dr. Jan Johnston's fight for accountability, and Colonel Conrad Reynolds' shocking indictment for exit polling in Arkansas. Packed with revelations, outrage, and humor, this episode pulls back the curtain on what may be the most important, and deceptive, “reform” in modern election history.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order reviving the Pentagon's historic name, the Department of War. The move, while largely symbolic, allows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to adopt the title Secretary of War and requires agencies to use the term in communications. Pentagon officials warn the rebrand could cost billions, while Democrats and Republicans alike say it does little to address pressing defense challenges.

The Bank of England has just dropped the base rate from *4.25% to 4%*, and my inbox has been full of one big question:
The good thing about property investment is that you genuinely can make more in one deal than you've ever made in your entire life, the downside is that you can actually lose everything you've ever had if you don't know what to do. The way to deal with this is to use the Acid Test. This is a Blueprint I've created from doing over 100 deals, over ten million pounds worth of developments and over the last 20 years I've been involved in all sorts of investments, small, medium and large, and I've been able to avoid all sorts of challenges and problems because of this Blueprint. If you want to know the three things that you need to do to ensure that every deal you do is the one that makes you, and not break you, this is the podcast for you. This is one you want to save, it's one you want to share, and this is the one that can save you from being another casualty of a downward market. Success and failure are both very predictable. I hope you enjoy.
In part one of a new special three part Sunday series, Kim reveals the moment she stepped away from a 10-person team and mainstream definitions of business success. She unpacks the power of listening to your inner truth, navigating leadership pivots, and how silence and soul-aligned strategy unlock lasting fulfillment and wealth. If you're a leader feeling the cost of “success,” this episode will resonate deeply and offer a path forward rooted in authenticity.Key TakeawaysThe Significance of Silence and Inner RhythmKim emphasizes the often-overlooked gift found in silence. Instead of filling the space with new projects, she let the silence reveal a deeper resonance—her original, authentic rhythm—and how tapping into this creates sustainable business and personal wealth.Navigating Strategic Pivots in BusinessKim describes how major astrological shifts paralleled her own need for change, underscoring the importance of being responsive—not just reactive—in times of transition. Her story offers support for anyone questioning if success aligns with their true self.Two Inspiring Quotes“You are not broken, you're just being recalibrated. This is to file you within your own system correctly.”“Can you breathe inside of what you've built? Because for me the answer was absolutely no. And luckily enough for me, I was brave enough to say I stopped.”Answers to Listeners' Questions1. How can silence and personal rhythm lead to better business outcomes? (6:53)Kim deliberately embraced silence instead of rushing into new projects.

(10:25-11:19)The cost is subtle but significant: heavy energy, a sense of grind, and feeling out of sync with your own vision—even during times of conventional achievement. Kim notes that while people celebrate growth, few ask, “What is this costing your rhythm?” Ignoring these questions can lead to burnout and disconnection from your true purpose.Take ActionIf this episode stirred something real within you, don't ignore that nudge.

From the moment Henry Ford put the world on wheels, Ford has stood for not just cars, but mobility. More than just helping people move from one place to another, Ford gives people the opportunity to reach and achieve more. That same ethos drives Ford Philanthropy today. Rebranded from the “Ford Fund” to reflect a deeper, more holistic commitment, Ford Philanthropy is using the company's global reach and core strength of mobility to help people move forward not just in life—but on the road.We invited Mary Culler, President of Ford Philanthropy, to share how her team is redefining what corporate giving looks like. From co-creating community centers to launching the “Building Together” initiative that connects Ford's 3,000+ dealers and employee volunteers with national nonprofits, Ford is uniting its assets to deliver impact at scale. Whether through mobile health clinics or restoring Detroit's historic Michigan Central Station as a beacon of innovation and equity, Ford Philanthropy is tackling one of the greatest barriers to equity: access. For any purpose-driven leader, the message is clear: legacy, when aligned with innovation and humility, can be one of the most powerful tools for change.Listen for insights on:Identifying philanthropic solutions in local communitiesMobilizing corporate assets beyond dollarsEvolve a legacy program into a modern philanthropy platform Resources + Links:Mary Culler's LinkedInFord PhilanthropyNew York Times: Ford Rescues a Detroit Train Station as It Plots Its Own FutureTennessee Community Center (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Mary Culler from Ford Philanthropy (02:16) - Mary's Background (03:46) - Their Focus (05:39) - Rebranding (06:53) - Committed to America ad (08:25) - The Stanton Story (10:25) - Michigan Central Station (12:49) - Building Together Initiative (16:20) - Volunteerism (17:34) - Building Together (18:05) - Transportation Gap (19:47) - Mobile Health (20:21) - Deciding Where the Money Goes (21:01) - Future of Philanthropy (21:48) - Proving You're Having an Impact (22:54) - The Station (23:36) - Last Word (24:36) - Wrap Up

Racism is ugly and must be fought. Not a controversial statement, right? What if racism rebranded itself as “anti-racism”? Such is what the Asian-American community is facing and no place has been more of a flash-point for that than Northern Virginia's Thomas Jefferson High School For Science And Technology. This prestigious STEM school has been at the center of a battle between the Virginia Department of Education's “anti-racism” directives from the Terry McAuliffe administration and the Asian-American parents that brought suit because their kids were denied admission. Despite the US Supreme Court passing on their case last year, the Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the allegations. We sit down with Helen Raleigh, a child of Communist China who escaped to the US after coming to America as a college student. Her most recent book is titled “Not Outsiders” and she visited with us at Freedomfest in Palm Springs to talk about the quite racial prejudices the Asian American community faces.

Paul Jones is one of British music's true originals—a singer, songwriter, harmonica player, actor, broadcaster, and blues pioneer whose career has spanned over six decades. Best known as the original frontman of Manfred Mann, Paul helped define the sound of the '60s British Invasion. But there's so much more to his story than pop success.Born Paul Pond in Portsmouth in 1942, Paul had a bright academic future—earning a place at Oxford. But it was the blues, not the books, that really captured his heart. Drawn to the raw emotion of American R&B and blues, he immersed himself in music, gigging in London clubs and building ties with future legends like Alexis Korner, Cyril Davies, and Brian Jones. In fact, Paul was briefly approached to front a little band called The Rolling Stones. He turned them down. Instead, he chose a different path. Rebranded as Paul Jones , he joined a jazz-influenced band led by South African keyboardist Manfred Mann. The group took on the name and quickly became one of the sharpest acts on the British scene. The band scored their first big hit with “5-4-3-2-1,” then came “Do Wah Diddy Diddy.” It was an instant smash—hitting number one in both the UK and the US and cementing the band's place in pop history. Paul Jones became a household name, fronting a string of hits including “Sha La La,” “Come Tomorrow,” and “Pretty Flamingo.” But just as things were peaking, Paul shocked fans by stepping away from Manfred Mann in '66. He didn't want to be boxed into pop stardom. His first solo release, “I've Been a Bad, Bad Boy,” was a top 10 hit, and not long after, he starred in the film Privilege.From there, Paul split his time between stage and studio. He released a number of solo albums and never chased the pop charts, choosing instead to focus on artistry and authenticity.In the late '70s, Jones experienced a major musical rebirth. Alongside former bandmate Tom McGuinness, he co-founded The Blues Band—a group that would lead a new wave of British blues. Their first record, The Official Blues Band Bootleg Album, was self-released when no label wanted it. But it quickly found a fanbase and helped kick-start a blues revival in the UK. Over the years, The Blues Band became a cult favourite, recording over 20 albums and touring consistently for decades. Jones, with his fiery harmonica and soulful voice, became a beloved figure in the blues world.As if that weren't enough, Jones also became a prominent broadcaster. In 1986, he began hosting The Blues Show with Paul Jones on BBC Radio 2—a program that would run for 32 years. His warm, knowledgeable voice introduced listeners to everyone from blues giants like B.B. King and Muddy Waters to new acts keeping the genre alive. His influence on the blues scene through radio is as significant as his work on stage.In the 2000s, Jones released the critically acclaimed album Starting All Over Again, featuring collaborations with soul legends like Percy Sledge and Eric Bibb. It was a masterclass in classic songwriting, vocal nuance, and heartfelt delivery—proof that Paul Jones had lost none of his fire.Throughout his career, Jones worked with a who's who of music royalty: Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Jack Bruce, Jeff Beck, Mick Abrahams, and more. Whether singing, playing harmonica, or narrating the story of the blues, he brought depth, grace, and passion to every project.Later in life, Paul experienced a personal transformation. He became a born-again Christian and began to incorporate gospel into his musical world. His faith added a new layer to his performances, blending spirit and soul with honesty and humility.From Oxford scholar to '60s heartthrob, from blues crusader to BBC staple, Paul Jones has never stood still. He turned down the Rolling Stones, left a hit band at its height, helped revive the blues, and became a trusted voice for generations of listeners. Always evolving, always authentic—Paul Jones is one of the great unsung heroes of British music.

Frank and Jonathan break down Marvel's surprise decision to market Thunderbolts as The New Avengers and share a spoiler‑free then spoiler‑filled review of the film. They explore its focus on mental health, standout character arcs, and smaller‑scale storytelling that still packs emotional weight. The episode also features an in‑depth interview with producer Caitlin Delaney, who explains what a service producer really does, how to launch movies on tight budgets, and why mentorship shortens every filmmaker's learning curve. The hosts wrap with the latest entertainment headlines and weekly streaming picks.

The film's core message highlights mental health struggles and self‑worth, showing how even “benchwarmers” can rise. Smaller budget and limited CGI allow richer character moments that tug at viewers' emotions. Bob Reynolds / Sentry introduces massive power balanced by bipolar‑coded vulnerability, hinting at future MCU stakes. Indie director Jake Schreier's muted color palette and tight locations give the movie an A24 vibe within the MCU. Two credit tags tease Red Guardian's comedic future and a stronger rival Avengers squad led by Sam Wilson. Producer Caitlin Delaney explains how service producers turn money and script into finished films and why every creative benefits from mentorship. Memorable Quotes “Even the kid on the bench can hit a home run.” — Frank “The boundaries in your mind are also paper thin.
