Well,RIP Lil Pump. If supporting a racist, sexist, xenophobic supremacist with rapist tendencies wasn’t bad enough. Lil Pump randomly decides to diss one of the champions of rap music. Now, we aren’t all there for Eminem until he comes forward and explains those bars for Snoop Dogg, a god of the culture no matter what he does. So, we not fully rolling with Em right now, but the boy Lil Pump needs to pump his breaks. First, you trash. Secondly, you a punk. Thirdly, nobody cares about you aside from about one song.
So, he decided to do that which would make people talk about him: dis somebody we care about. “Aye, f#ck Eminem. You is lame as hell. Ain’t nobody listening to your old a$$. You lame as f#ck, b#tch,” Pumpy said.
It has to be a bit sad to have almost zero F## given for you and the only way to make people look is to call somebody else’s name out.
That’s what he has done recently. He evoked the name of Michael Jackson recently, saying he was the new MJ. This fool ain’t even the new Eminem. He must be doing some serious drugs to be calling himself anything related to Eminem. The only relation he way have to Eminem is drugs. Em has been sober for quite some time, but he helped popularize that pill-pop-hip-hop style. Clearly, Pump is still using.
so lil pump basically called Eminem irrelevant while actually being irrelevant himself to get relevant pic.twitter.com/EqBH1cXLkM
Migos will release their new album “at the top of the year”.
The trio – comprising Quavo, Offset and Takeoff – had been expected to release the follow-up to 2018’s Culture II early in 2020 but the record was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, and now they have confirmed that work on the LP is complete and fans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer for it.
Quavo explained the group had taken the decision to delay the record because they want the “commotion” of being able to promote it properly and to perform in front of their fans.
Speaking on The ETCs podcast, he said: “We done with the album, we just waiting on 2021, man, so everything can crank up. We don’t wanna drop it right now. We want the commotion, we want to move, we want to be outside. We want to drop it and go on tour. We want to have an album listening and have people in the thang and really hearing the album.
“I can’t drop no album and let the internet judge my album. It just don’t make sense. I just want to be with the people. I want to touch the people and that’s what we gon’ do at the top of the year.”
And the rapper admitted he’s ready for social distancing measures to end so he can perform and get close to fans.
“I’m ready to crowd surf. I’m ready to go crazy again… moshpit,” he grinned.
Although the Bad and Boujee hitmakers previously insisted the album wouldn’t be called Culture III as expected, Quavo referred to it by that title throughout the new interview.
Culture II featured guest appearances from the likes of Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Post Malone and Travis Scott, but it’s not yet been revealed who will feature on the new record.

The “Gonna Love Me’ singer and new mom decided to dig deep to help financially-strapped fans on Wednesday (December 23rd) and spontaneously called on devotees to send in their requests to receive the funds via mobile payment service Cash App.

Incarcerated comedian Bill Cosby is not letting prison stop him from being in a festive mood.
The 83-year-old took to social media to give some shoutouts to a variety of rap stars who have supported him as he sits behind bars awaiting his appeal over his conviction for three counts of aggravated indecent assault.
Bill thanked superstar rappers Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, and comedian Faizon Love for their continued support.
“I would like to wish everyone a Very Merry & Happy Holiday & I’m sending my sincere gratitude to Kanye West, Snoop Dogg & Faizon Love for their continued & consistent support,” Bill Cosby said. “I’m so glad to hear & see that these (3) icons in the Entertainment Industry are enhancing the lives of others through philanthropy, music & humor.”

Kid Cudi has scored a new U.S. chart record with a 37-second song.
“Beautiful Trip,” the opening song of his new album Man On The Moon III: The Chosen, has become the shortest song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
The track sneaks into the countdown at number 100, beating the previous record of 45 seconds, held by Japanese comedian Piko-Taro’s “PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen).”
Meanwhile, Man On The Moon III: The Chosen is at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, one place behind Taylor Swift’s Evermore.
Taraji P. Henson battled suicidal thoughts at the height of the coronavirus lockdown and considered shooting herself.
Speaking on her Facebook Watch show “Peace of Mind” with Taraji on Wednesday (December 23rd), the “Empire” star chatted to Dr. LaShonda Green about her darkest days.
“During this pandemic, it’s been hard on all of us and I had a moment. I had a dark moment. I was in a dark place,” she confessed. “For a couple of days, I couldn’t get out of bed, I didn’t care. That’s not me.
“Then I started having thoughts about ending it. It happened two nights in a row and I purchased a gun not too long ago; it’s in a safe, and I started like, ‘I could go in there right now and end it all, because I want it to be over’.
“I thought about my son, he’s grown, he’ll get over it. I didn’t care. I felt myself withdrawing. People were calling me, I wasn’t responding, I didn’t care.”
But Taraji fought her negative thoughts and confided in a friend.
“I felt like, if I don’t say it, it becomes a plan,” she added. “What scared me is I did it two nights in a row. First, it was like, ‘I don’t wanna be here’. Then I started thinking about going to get the gun and that’s why when I woke up the next morning, I blurted it out.”
Taraji didn’t expand on what made her feel suicidal, but a planned Empire spin-off featuring her character Cookie Lyon has been shelved. She has also been very open about her mental health issues.
In new documents obtained by TMZ.com, Dre presents the prenuptial agreement that Young claimed he ripped up shortly after she’d signed it, which states that Nicole doesn’t waive her right to spousal support.
This means that even if the prenup holds up in court, she can expect a hefty monthly sum.
But it won’t be $2 million a month – as Dre’s attorney has filed a declaration stating that Young’s actual monthly expenses come to an estimated $293,306.
Dre’s lawyer Laura Wasser adds that Dre has voluntarily paid for all of Nicole’s expenses since they split.
Young also requested an additional $5 million to cover attorney’s fees, but Dre claims he’s already paid nearly a million dollars to Young’s attorneys – more than he’s paid his own lawyers.
The prenuptial agreement, which Dre has always denied ripping up, also states that any property accrued during the marriage remains separate.
Nicole, who filed to end the 24-year marriage in June shares two adult children with Dre.
Billyracxx’ Instagram bio reads “MELT MY FACE OFF,” so you already know what type of time he’s on. With a song titled “Dark Skin Lenny Kravitz,” the Florida-born, Houston-based recording artist blends the genres of hip-hop, R&B, and alternative rock into his own unique blend. Pairing his high-energy music with his out-of-this-world personality, the rising star is intentional with his creativity — exuding passion and determination as he climbs his way to the top.
Most recently, Billyracxx unleashed his newest single titled “Big Steppa,” featuring T$an produced by Stevieknocks, Per usual his music videos showcase his art on a whole other level, with endless symbolism and metaphors throughout.
AllHipHop: What are you doing in Miami?
Billyracxx: Some visual s###.My n*gga Splash Zanotti had a show last night. I dropped a record with him, came out here to pop out on him. Work with Major Lazer, putting s### together man. You know me, I go where the art takes me. If you see me somewhere, it’s because I got some creative endeavors there.
AllHipHop: Major Lazer is more EDM, you got an EDM side to you?
Billyracxx: Come on now. You gotta look up a song I got called “You Got It,” the s###’s streaming over 3 million. My biggest streaming song and it’s an EDM song.
AllHipHop: You have a song called “Dark Skin Lenny Kravitz.” How would you describe your sound?
Billyracxx: “Dark Skin Lenny Kravitz” is exactly the explanation. I admire what he brought to the game as far as being a black man not boxed in. That’s me, but I’m much more of a n*gga because of my skin color. Where I’m from, it’s that type of place but I’m still me. I’m not boxed in. We’re trying to give something way bigger and I don’t want to be boxed into an urban box. I find different ways in song titles or how I make my music to show and tell people that — without walking around being that person like “I’m weird” on my chest, “I’m different.” I try to literally live that s### and show it in my art.
AllHipHop: Where do you identify more: Florida or Houston?
Billyracxx: A perfect mixture of both. All my young age, running around Eatonville, Florida’s one of them deep culture places. You know when a ngga from Florida. I moved to Hiuston and Houston’s that same type of place. You know if somebody’s from Houston with how they talk. I talk fast sometimes, then I gotta slow down cause I’m in Houston. That translated to my music, I grew up on Gucci Mane, Boosie, Trick Daddy, Plies. Moving to Houston and everything slowing down immediately as soon as I got there, Trae Tha Truth is one of my OGs. It’s so crazy to know that ngga, go to his house. “Rain” by him and Z-Ro was the first song that resonated with me from a Houston artist.
AllHipHop: Houston legends!
Billyracxx: Big legends and humble n##### too. Regular n*ggas, it’s dope.
AllHipHop: How did you and Trae tap in initially?
Billyracxx: 713 Studio, they going crazy too. They’re behind Don Tolliver’s whole sound. I used to do a lot of s### up there, I still f### with them heavy. Trae was there, the owner of the studio said “you gotta meet this kid, he’s from our city. N*gga’s crazy.” Trae said “yeah I f### with your s###, gotta do a track.” Did a track, invited me to his crib. He’s that type of person: if he f#### with you, he easily can show it.
AllHipHop: What inspired your new single, “Big Steppa”?
Billyracxx: I’m up up. S###, that song’s how I’m feeling right now: Big Steppa. This whole time me maneuvering this music s###, I’m on influence over clout. I want my art to speak for me. I’m not flexing, I’m not using my money to create a persona. I don’t play into all that. I’m literally in this industry straight off art, so that’s fire. I’ma turn into a millionaire off art. “Big Steppa” is my way of telling n*ggas, yo I’m aware I’m getting weight. When I turn up, turn up!
AllHipHop: You been getting buff?
Billyracxx: Nah. [laughs] I do calisthenics. I be doing s###, I don’t workout workout heavy at all. I was an athlete all my life so I started back running, doing push-ups. Because I was losing breath in the studio, I’m a touring artist. This rage s###, I definitely go on stage and rage for an hour.
AllHipHop: How much do you miss performing?
Billyracxx: A lot a lot. I’ve always been able to gauge my growth off my performances and how people respond to me, people who don’t know me versus the fans. I call my fans cult members, seeing the response from all them as I do more and bigger shows. Now that that s###’s not around, I’ve been a content-driven artist so I’m turning up with my content. Finding more ways to build my content. Even before “Big Steppa,” I did my own live performance with my band. I’ma do more of that. The world shut down so it’s the part missing for me but other than that, Im gonna do more virtual s### and get ready for 2021 shows.
AllHipHop: What does it mean to be the “Big Steppa”?
Billyracxx: I’m the biggest independent artist out here. All my clout has come from content, I never got an opportunity from putting out something different. Up until this point, I’m getting in the phase right now where n*ggas want to give handouts or walk you through the door. Before that, everytime I had an accolade was because I dropped something harder than I dropped last time. Nobody ever walked me through no door, I don’t have a big homie. Nobody gave me s###. This is the influence over clout at its finest.
When I turn into that n*gga, people gotta know I did this s### off art. That’s rare in rap right now. Pop music, they get that type of love. I’m finna be this rapper from collaborating with contemporary artists, performing with a band, going to the club, doing a club appearance, walk in Fashion Week, creative directing a f###### campaign for my favorite brand, wokring with Sprite, I’m doing all that s###. That’s all going to happen from me being artistic.
AllHipHop: What were you trying to convey in the “Big Steppa” visual?
Billyracxx: I’m on some f###### underworld boss dawg s###, I’m a g###### mob boss. I’m telling my fans I’m transitioning. I’m not turning into some cocky n*gga at all, I’m aware of how big my s### can be and I’ma start stepping like that. It’s an artistic expression. When I’m sitting on the window with the metal tail, I’m symbolizing I’m watching over that s###. I imagine myself at the top of the hill, I’m an underworld boss. I have a different perspective on the world that not your average artist has. That’s my character, I feel like a monster. An alien in music.
AllHipHop: Do you get worried promoting guns in your visuals?
Billyracxx: I made a post saying this is my first visual I have guns in my videos. I did it in a very artistic cinematic way. You’re not going to get mad when Quentin Tarantino’s blowing n*ggas hands off in movies, all the gore and blood. It’s a movie, it’s not a regular video. I’m not standing in front of the camera holding the shotgun, it’s more artistic expression. In Django, nobody comments on the gore and him having guns. It’s a movie, he had to get it across.
BILLYRACXX
AllHipHop: Where do you get your fashion inspo from?
Billyracxx: My girl MINGZLY a stylist. She’s a designer, she does a lot of fire s###. Her brand’s called KME World, she designs a lot of custom pieces. I rock a lot of that, style it in my videos. It helps me a lot because a lot of her s### is one-of-one. I got one-of-one looks and styles. Anything I’m putting on me, she helps create the standard of what I expect, something that represents me. Whenever I’m doing scenes, I put my wardrobe together. I remember that caricature of myself, I gotta inspire as far out as I can so everything has to be exaggerated in a certain stage. This is who I am everyday, it’s not deep. People see me wearing a shirt like this [with holes], I forget that s###’s outlandish for somebody. I literally wear my nipple out.
AllHipHop: What is your “cult” and what does it mean to you?
Billyracxx: My cult is all my fans. If you really bought into what I’m doing right now, you might as well be part of the cult. In music right now, your average fan’s either coming across my s### like “that’s hard but that’s way out of here,” or they’re part of this s###. I don’t have normal fans. My fans catch the weirdest s###, they catch the smallest symbolism I put in the video or Instagram post. I know this s### is a cult. I send messages to my fans: “you are now invited into the cult.” I tell them to screenshot that. In the future when I do my first world tour, all those people with screenshot, they get VIP whatever city they’re in. They get to meet me or something special. I can’t cap on them because they screenshotted me saying “you’re part of the cult.”
AllHipHop: Talk about your overseas fan base too.
Billyracxx: I’ll probably pop first overseas, but I hope to pop in America first. I hope I go crazy here but overseas, my response is crazy. I have a s### load of DMs I can’t even understand, I don’t know the language. I got a lot of fans from Russia, it’s a vibe. They get the vibe and don’t give a f### about nothing else. In America, we get vibes but it’s a lot of other s### that comes on top of why we f### with somebody. Whereas in Europe, they dream to get over here. When they hear an artist they can connect to, it’s locked in. When they get the s### I’m preaching, a lot of them f### with that because they know they can DM me and get a response. When they see me perform, they’ll get a different feeling. It’s something different. They’re cult members, they’re not regular fans.
AllHipHop: How was the virtual show you did with Lil Skies? It had 2 million views that’s amazing.
Billyracxx: Appreciate it. Shoutout Darlene Deluna my family. She showed love, threw me on that s###. Innersect is a company from China their basically complexcon in China. It was pre-recorded but it premiered in China live, 2 million fans. That s### was fire man, big soundstage. It’s that virtual s###. Next year hopefully we get back to doing live shows, my agent Darlene working on it, but I wouldn’t be mad to do shows like that. If I’m getting paid, you gotta do it. I’m a visual artist so I love shooting videos, that s### was like a big video shoot to me.
AllHipHop: Talk about your upcoming feature coming with Lil Gotit.
Billyracxx: I got a feature with Gotit coming out top of 2021, s###’s hard as s###. Shoutout Producer Grind, one of the biggest producer platforms out here. They reached out to me and asked me for acapellas so they can do a challenge for their producers. I gave them acapellas, 400 producers made beats around it. We broke it down to a 100, went on the podcast and chose the winner. That song we ended up getting Lil Gotit on. It’s fire because we showed a lot of love to the producer community, a lot of people will be inspired by this record. Me and Lil Gotit aesthetics as far as our sound, really went crazy and blended well. The song’s crazy, I like making s### I’m proud of.
AllHipHop: Shout out to Tish on here!
Billyracxx: Me and Tish got some s###. I got mad love for Tish, she’s the first writer I work with. We made a hit for real, no cap. Being around her, now I really get what it takes to be a good writer. She’s fire bro. That hook’s pure, it got some meaning to it. It still rages, it’s still hard. She went crazy.
AllHipHop: What can we expect next?
Billyracxx: I got a merch collection dropping. I always did really good on my merch but I’m trying to make it more commercial and amplify it. It’s a lifestyle, not regular artist merch. Something you could really wear, f### Billyracxx you could wear that s###. I got my s### with Lil Gotit, going crazy. I got a project with White Pump for Russia dropping the first quarter of next year for my European fans. Hopefully tour that s###, go up man. I’m in a lot of doors in the States, expect me to do some crazy s###. I’m appreciative of everything at this point. I’m living off music, I’ma go nuts. Nothing can stop me, it’s a matter of when. I’m trying to breakthrough in 2021.

This week saw the 10-year anniversary of The Marathon mixtape. Ermias “Nipsey Hussle” Asghedom released the 18-track collection in 2010 via his own indie label All Money In.
The Los Angeles emcee/entrepreneur would go on to drop other well-received tapes like The Marathon Continues, Crenshaw, and Mailbox Money. He also delivered the Grammy-nominated Victory Lap studio album under the Atlantic Records umbrella.
Unfortunately, Asghedom was tragically murdered in 2019 at the age of 33. While he left plenty of music before his passing, fans of the late West Coaster were saddened by his death and the fact that his growing career was cut way too short.
Nipsey’s memory lives through his extensive discography and his The Marathon Clothing brand and store. According to the verified TMC Instagram account, another Neighborhood Nip project is on the way next year.
The Marathon Clothing’s IG page posted on December 21:
Today marks 10 years since the release of #TheMarathon. A project our team holds near and dear to our hearts for many reasons. It represents the story of Nipsey’s resilience and unwavering faith in his mission, and the authenticity and honesty in his message. It also was the first seed planted in the Marathon brand that gave fruit to many other branches that Nipsey architected, as only he could do. In commemoration of this anniversary we’re proud to announce our collaborative effort with @okidoki to bring to life an interactive live visual album experience coming in 2021. The experience will give viewers and intimate look at the era that helped shape this masterpiece. The people, the places, the stories, and more. Stay tuned, official drop date coming soon!
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson may be avoiding Verzuz matchups against T.I. and Ja Rule, but the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper does have an idea for another potential faceoff. 50 thinks the world should get to see Young Money leader Lil Wayne and his protégé Drake take part in the celebration.
“I think because of the momentum, the best thing would probably be Wayne versus. Drake,” said 50 Cent during an Instagram Live session for Branson Cognac. “To keep it real with you. There are two different styles in the same period, so it will be entertaining enough to watch both of them.”
If that Verzuz battle was booked it would not be the first time Weezy and Drizzy clashed musically on stage. The two Hip Hop superstars played into the battle concept for their “Drake vs. Lil Wayne” co-headlining tour in 2014. The summer trek was based on Capcom’s classic Street Fighter video game.
After starting out as a social reprieve from the self-quarantining and social distancing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Verzuz grew to become a highly successful cultural event. The next installment is set for January 9 when R&B singers Ashanti and Keyshia Cole present their respective catalog of hits.
Twitter co-founder/CEO Jack Dorsey and Hip Hop legend Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s names have publicly intersected over the last year. In May, Dorsey donated $10 million to the Reform Alliance, the nonprofit that includes Carter as a Founding Partner.
Then Jay-Z namedropped the technology executive on Pharrell Williams’s “Entrepreneur” single that came out in August. Hov rapped on the song, “Lies told to you, through YouTubes and Hulus. Shows with no hues that look like you do. Black Twitter, what’s that? When Jack gets paid, do you?”
Those bars questioned the idea of white-owned social media platforms using Black-generated content without compensating the creators. According to Bloomberg, Dorsey’s Square, Inc financial services company is looking to purchase the Black-owned Tidal streaming service from Jay-Z and other artist-owners like Beyoncé and Rihanna.
Carter purchased Tidal in 2015 for $56 million. Two years later, Sprint bought 33% of the company for a reported $200 million. After its relaunch under Jay-Z’s Project Panther Bidco, Tidal dealt with turnover at high-level positions and significant negative press which Jay claimed to be part of a “smear campaign” against the brand.
In 2015, 71% of top music executives believed the streamer would fail within its first year under Carter’s ownership while only 12% of those polled thought it would be a long-lasting service. Tidal reportedly had around 3 million paying subscribers in 2016. The platform’s official customer numbers are not made public.
Meek Mill and the DreamChasers are giving back to families that have been affected by the criminal justice system. Thirty-five families in Philadelphia were gifted items this holiday season.
The rap star teamed with REFORM Alliance, PUMA, GoPuff, and DocuVault to have trucks deliver MacBook Air laptops, iPads, Amazon Fire HD 8 tablets, baby clothes, Xbox Series X gaming consoles, gift cards, and toys for the children.
As the deliveries arrived at the homes of the recipients in a COVID-compliant manner, Meek personally FaceTimed some of the families to learn more about their stories and offer words of encouragement.
“It’s been a tough year for all of us, but through all the ups and downs, I’ll always do my part to support and give back to the Philly community that raised me,” said Meek.
The Reform Alliance Co-Chair added, “I remember not having much growing up, so it’s important to use my platform to give back, especially to the families trying to provide for their kids while also dealing with the criminal justice system.”
In addition, Meek made a separate $30,000 donation to the Philadelphia chapter of Twelve Days of Christmas. The volunteer organization aims to equip families in need with supplies to enjoy the holidays.
The $30K contribution helped purchase presents for 30 families in North Philadelphia. Students from Meek’s old school, James G. Blaine Elementary School, as well as William D. Kelley School and Paul Robeson High School, were the recipients.
Over a week ago, Swae Lee started asking his fans for help. The Rae Sremmurd member apparently lost his duffle bag containing a hard drive in Los Angeles International Airport, and he was offering a $20,000 reward to get it back.
Then the situation got strange when a person in a Guy Fawkes mask – which is typically associated with the hacktivist collective known as Anonymous – showed up on Instagram with Swae Lee’s missing items. The two men even spoke publicly during an IG Live session.
According to Swae Lee, the hard drive with his unreleased music is “on its way back” to its rightful owner. The “Sunflower” hitmaker talked about the ordeal while being interviewed by GQ.
“It’s like a movie, bro,” said Swae Lee about the viral hard drive caper. “But I’m not really stressing. I’ve dealt with worse s### than this.”
Durk “Lil Durk” Banks has been teasing his new body of work for a while. On Thursday morning, The Voice finally arrived.
The album cover features a photo of Durk and the late King Von with the words, “Long Live Grandson.” Von (born Dayvon Daquan Bennett) was killed on November 6 outside an Atlanta nightspot.
For The Voice, Lil Durk recruited 6LACK, Young Thug, YNW Melly, and Booka600 as collaborators. Plus, King Von appears on the track titled “Still Trappin’.”
Durk is also offering his fans exclusive The Voice merchandise. The Chicago-bred, Atlanta-based rapper is selling hoodies, t-shirts, and beanies on his website otfgear.com.
Auto manufacturer GM could be forced to pay out a huge amount of money, all because of some Hip-Hop music.
A guy named Antonio Brown filed the lawsuit against GM, over claims he was terminated for protesting the rap music other employees played at work
Brown, who suffers from anxiety and bipolar disorder, says he was earning about $50,000 a year working for GM on the auto manufacturer’s “seal line.”
Brown says he was severely traumatized by his fellow employees on December 7th, 2018, after they played explicit rap songs while working the day away.
“Mr. Brown was forced to endure the hostile work environment created by the loud playing of ‘Rap’ music which contained vulgar and sexually explicit language that some of the employees had chosen to listen to,” according to Brown’s complaint.
“Although Mr. Brown protested the use of this music at work to his management, the supervisors failed to address the offensive situation in anyway,” which led him to have a mental breakdown.
GM sued over “traumatizing rap music”

GM sued over “traumatizing rap music”
Brown says he also conveyed the issue to his union leader, who also failed to address the situation, leading to a verbal and physical confrontation that ended in the police being called.
Brown says he filed for sick leave on December 10th, 2018, and had to seek out group therapy over the raunchy rap music and the altercation with management.
When he returned to work on May 10th, 2019 and attempted to punch in, Brown says he was whisked away and sent to the personal department. He was fired on the spot over the earlier fight with his bosses.
Antonio Brown is suing GM for age discrimination, creating a hostile work environment, and retaliation. He is seeking compensatory damages of at least $75,000, and punitive damages to be determined by a jury.

Mystikal was recently cleared of rape charges, and he can thank technology for his freedom.
In November of 2017, the rap star was charged with first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping over claims he and an associate sexually assaulted a woman inside of a New Orleans? casino in October of 2016.
Earlier this week, a grand jury cleared the rapper of the heinous crime, thanks to new evidence that came to light.
Mystikal’s attorney told KTAL NBC 6 said surveillance cameras and a toxicology report proved the rap star was innocent of the crime.
Verity Gentry Said he studied the toxicology report and sent it to an expert who found a variety of inconsistencies with the date rape drug the victim claimed Mystical used to assault her.
“I am thankful that there was irrefutable evidence of innocence in this case. Lots of people aren’t so lucky,” his lawyer Verity Gentry explained.
