Beyoncé is pouring into a new chapter with SirDavis.

The superstar has acquired Moët Hennessy’s stake in the award-winning whisky brand, giving her full ownership and control of the business she launched with the luxury spirits giant.

More details below…

The move arrives almost two years after SirDavis officially hit the market as Moët Hennessy’s first spirits brand developed entirely in the United States.

Announcing the change, SirDavis said its collaboration with the LVMH-owned company had reached its conclusion following almost four years spent creating, developing and launching the label.

“Knowles-Carter takes full ownership and control, making SirDavis a woman, family and Black-owned company.”

Financial details surrounding the acquisition have not been disclosed, per The Spirits Business.

Named in honor of the Houston native’s great-grandfather Davis Hogue, a farmer and moonshiner during Prohibition, the brand earned accolades in earnest, including almost top scores at the 2025 New York International Spirits Competition and being crowned Best New Product at the 2025 Spirits Business Awards.

The brand has also generated strong consumer interest. Its Honey Bee Cocktail Kit reportedly sold out within hours, while high-profile activations have included a star-studded California Crown takeover attended by Jay-Z, Cher, Shaboozey and more.

With SirDavis now independent, Queen Bey adds another fully controlled company to a business portfolio that also includes her flourishing Cécred haircare venture.

Lil Durk is fighting to keep evidence out of his upcoming trial.

The rapper’s legal team filed a motion to exclude a 2021 text message from the record.

Full story below…

The trial is set to begin on August 20 in Los Angeles. Durk’s attorneys argue the text message has been in the custody of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation since July 2021. They claim Durk’s phone was “unlawfully seized” during a home invasion investigation.

In their filing, Durk’s legal team wrote:

“There is no good reason that the government should have waited until one month before trial to seek a warrant for evidence that has been in law enforcement’s custody since 2021.”

The move comes after Durk scored a significant win. Prosecutors attempted to add Chicago and Atlanta-based allegations to the case at the last minute. The judge scolded them and removed the allegations.

Durk’s attorneys, including Drew Findling and Brian Steel, continue to challenge the prosecution’s tactics.

The judge has not yet ruled on the latest request. The trial remains scheduled for August 20.

50 Cent took another shot at his long-time rival.

The rapper mocked Sean “Diddy” Combs during a Las Vegas performance following reports that Diddy was placed in solitary confinement after a prison fight.

Full story below…

Fif performed at LIV Beach on Saturday, July 25. He thanked the crowd before delivering a pointed joke about Diddy’s current situation. He said:

“You coulda been anywhere, you picked being here. Thank you. You coulda been in Fort Dix with Puffy in the box.”

The comment references FCI Fort Dix, the New Jersey federal prison where Diddy serves his sentence. Reports last week indicated officials placed Diddy in solitary confinement after an altercation with another inmate. Sources claimed the fight began when another inmate insulted Diddy. The two exchanged punches before guards intervened.

A prison spokesperson declined to comment on the incident. It remains unclear whether Diddy still remains in solitary confinement.

Diddy currently serves a 50-month sentence. A jury convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. They acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

Kanye West has settled a sexual assault lawsuit with his former personal assistant Lauren Pisciotta.

Lawyers for both sides reached an agreement on July 23, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles.

Full story below…

Pisciotta filed the lawsuit in June 2024, accusing West of sexual harassment, sexual battery, and wrongful termination. She claimed he sent her sexually explicit messages and videos and fired her after she refused his advances.

She also alleged West drugged her during a studio session co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs. West denied all allegations.

The two sides reached an agreement in principle during mediation on June 4, about seven weeks before finalizing the deal.

The court had canceled a scheduled hearing to allow both parties time to finalize the settlement. The settlement is described as “unconditional,” and Pisciotta’s attorneys will file a request for dismissal within 45 days. The terms of the settlement remain confidential.

West is currently appealing a dismissed defamation lawsuit against his former label UMG. Diddy is also serving a 50-month prison sentence on prostitution-related charges.
