Christian Teen Says God Has Plan For YG After Embarrassing Feud Over President Trump

(AllHipHop News) The teenager who rapper YG had kicked out of a concert has finally spoken out.

The rapper had called the teen on stage during the Mala Luna Music Festival in Texas in October of 2019.

YG tried to get the teenager to chant the chorus to his 2016 hit single “FDT (F##k Donald Trump)” featuring Nipsey Hussle, but the attempt turned into a disaster.

YG became hostile when the teen refused. The rapper then threw the kid off of the stage and called him a Donald Trump supporter, while branding followers of the President as racists.

Austin Joyner, the 17-year old teenager who was unwittingly thrust into the spotlight by YG, wrote an open letter to the rapper about the incident and published it to Twitter.

In the message, Joyner explains the complete story of what happened and explained that he is not a supporter of President Trump, nor is he a racist.

The Christian teen said YG put his life at risk and revealed that two security guards advised him to leave the festival because the situation became too dangerous.

“As I drove home nervous and not knowing what to expect, I still prayed for you, because you, Keenon, still deserve and need God. “Your actions were so wrong but can be forgiven,” Austin Joyner wrote. “Jesus did not die on that cross for no reason. And because of that, I have kept you in many of my prayers. So if you think no one has cared about you, I have. It has taken me a few months for me to fully forgive you, but I did not want to respond to the incident until I Ad forgive. I forgave you on January 4, 2020.”

He said that Americans have freedom of speech and everybody is entitled to their own beliefs – and he believes the incident serves as a message from directly from God.

Joyner thinks YG has the potential to undergo the same type of radical transformation as Kanye West.

“If you ask me, it is a strange -coincidence” you picked on a supposedly “racist white boy- like me out of all people in that crowd that night,” Austin Joyner wrote. “You have the potential to become a man who loves/cherishes his wife and children, protects them, and treats them with utmost respect and stands up for people who are weak. Ultimately, that’s how real men behave. I believe that you could even make the type of transition Kanye West has made.”

Yo Gotti Enlists Roc Nation To End Bloodshed Inside Mississippi Prisons

(AllHipHop News) Yo Gotti wants the bloodshed in State Prisons in the state of Mississippi to end.

That is why he has enlisted the services of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation to demand changes from the Governor before they take legal action.

Yo Gotti decided to take action after five inmates were killed in three different prisons over the last two weeks in Mississippi.

According to TMZ.com, the rapper called on Roc Nation’s philanthropic arm- Team Roc, and the organization sent a letter to Gov. Phil Bryant on Thursday.

The letter made it clear that if the Governor does not make sure prison conditions are improved, they will file a lawsuit.

Yo Gotti is especially angry because two of the deaths were inside Parchman Farm prison near Memphis, his hometown. According to the rap star, the prison conditions are inhumane and unconstitutional.

There has been a sharp rise in prison violence in Mississippi resulting in riots and escapes. 

Critics say that some penitentiaries, which are underfunded and understaffed, have been taken over by gangs.

The letter by Team Roc to Gov. Bryant says that inmates live in rat-infested filthy conditions with no mattresses, which is an unusual and cruel punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

TMZ has learned that Roc Nation and Gotti will give Gov. Bryant until the weekend is over to improve the conditions. If there are no changes, attorney Alex Spiro will file a civil rights lawsuit.

Does Lil Pump Believe In Showers?

Lil Pump has a question for his 1.2 million and growing twitter followers.

“Why shower if your getting dirty again?”

Those are his words, not mine.

This definitely has people questioning his hygiene and cleanliness. 

If you don’t remember, in 2018, Pump posted an Instagram video of him peeing on singles in a hotel bathroom. 

The rapper said he was bored at the moment. When asked why he did such a foul act, he said, “The money dirty anyways.” Not to mention, he fired his manager for not picking up the urine infested cash.

Now I’m not sure if his way of gaining attention or he really doesn’t shower on a regular, but he surely got us wondering. 

What y’all think? Do you think Pump is trying to look for attention?

Lizzo To Overweight Haters: Keep My Name Out Ya Mouth

(AllHipHop News) Lizzo has fired back after celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels accused the star of “glorifying obesity.”

The “Biggest Loser” star sparked fury among the music star’s fanbase during an interview on Buzzfeed’s AM to DM series, when she insisted: “You cannot glorify obesity. It’s dangerous. It kills people.

“I’m just being honest. I love her music, my kid loves her music, but there’s never a moment when I’m like, ‘I’m so glad she’s overweight’.”

However, in a new interview with Britain’s The Daily Telegraph newspaper, the “Truth Hurts” hitmaker insisted her music, “encourages kids to love themselves and accept their bodies,” adding that bringing positive change was always her “goal” in the industry.

“I remember what listening to music did for me, what other artists have done for me growing up, and it’s really full circle to see that start to happen with my music,” she said. “That was the goal – to help bring some type of positive change and positive influence to the world and the way we feel about ourselves and this is really starting to happen now.”

Lizzo is never one to shy away from firing back at criticism, and the “Juice” hitmaker recently clapped back at a troll on Twitter who suggested she’s only popular because “there is an obesity epidemic in America.”

“I’m popular because I write good songs and I’m talented and perform high energy hour and a half shows filled with love,” she responded. “The only person who needs to do better is you. Keep my name out ya mouth & look in the mirror before you come for me.”

Strange Fight Inside DJ Khaled’s Restaurant In Miami Turns Into A Shooting

(AllHipHop News) A man was shot outside of a North Miami restaurant connected to DJ Khaled earlier this week.

The police and fire rescue responded on Tuesday just before 6.30 pm at The Licking restaurant on Northwest 125th street.

According to local reports, two men argued the restaurant which then escalated to shooting out on the streets.

Police said that the incident started when Tamario Rolle, a 21-year old was attacked by Henry Poumier Cristo, a 24-year old inside the restaurant.

The surveillance cameras showed Poumier punching Rolle before they ran outside into the streets and shots were fired.

Cristo was hit below the waist several times and was taken to hospital in stable condition.

Rolle was arrested at the scene and taken to North Miami police headquarters.

He was charged with aggravated battery and he is out of jail on bond.

Although he started the fight, Poumier-Cristo was not charged. 

Why Oprah Winfrey Bounced From Russell Simmons Documentary!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Oprah Winfrey backed off a documentary that was aimed at one of Hip-Hop’s pioneers Russell Simmons. The backlash was ferocious against the billionaire. Most people felt like she was singling out Russell Simmons over others like her “friend” Harvey Weinstein that has been charged with numerous infractions against women. But this on top of the Micheal Jackson series, Oprah’s name was looking like Mudd to a lot of people. 

I won’t like and say I was rocking with it, because I was not. And yet, Oprah does what Oprah wants. It was not my fight. I appreciated Russell’s classy appeal to Oprah. This clearly was not going to stop the actual documentary, but I think it was directed to a friend or a former friend. 

Anyway, according to MTO News, the documentary was shaky, even though Oprah has stated in a statement that she believes the women allegedly assaulted by Uncle Rush. I am wondering why we cannot seem to get a process moving that discerns between entertainment and legalities. I am tired of seeing people, most anybody not named R. Kelly, being maligned through entertainment or “documentaries.” 

Here is what an “insider” stated: “After the disaster of Oprah putting out the unsubstantiated claims against Michael Jackson in Leaving Neverland, she couldn’t be a part of this. Those women may have been assaulted, I can’t say. But that documentary doesn’t prove sh*t. You can’t make those kind of allegations with no proof whatsoever. If Oprah put her name behind that, her reputation would be ruined.”

The crazy thing is Oprah is also blocking the movie from making it to Apple TV, which is a very bold move in my opinion. I feel like this is a slick why of undoing what has been done while saving face to her minions of bloodthirsty supporters.

Thoughts…

Shoot, I love me some Oprah now. 

For me, click here. 

O.J. Simpson Dragging Rapper Meek Mill Into Cosmopolitan Lawsuit

(AllHipHop News) O.J. Simpson is determined to go forward with his fight against The Cosmopolitan.

According to the new legal documents, Juice has evoked Meek Mill’s name in a bid to plead his case.

In the legal documents, O.J. refers to Meek as “another African American public figure” whom The Cosmopolitan defamed and then apologized because when the rap star went public.

O.J. Simpson is arguing that the hotel has a history of attacking famous personalities and defaming them and so the charges warrant a jury trial.

In the lawsuit, O.J. is also claiming that he was defamed by The Cosmopolitan hotel.

He was banned from the hotel in 2017 a few weeks after his release from prison for armed robbery.

The hotel claimed O.J. was drunk and disruptive to which he says he was falsely accused since he was not drunk or belligerent.

Concerning Meek Mill, the hotel had threatened to arrest him for trespassing in May of 2019.

The rapper accused it of going to “extreme racist levels” to prevent black entertainers from accessing it.

Later, The Cosmopolitan confessed after Meek went public. He accepted the apology and did not go for legal action.

O.J. could be awarded more money in punitive damages if the case goes to the jury. 

J Cole Spotted Shooting A Puma Commercial In Fayetteville

(AllHipHop News) J Cole was spotted shooting a commercial in his hometown of Fayetteville earlier this week

The rapper was in his hometown making a commercial for Puma according to ABC11.

They were using the basketball courts on Fisher Street near Walker-Spivey Elementary School in the Old Wilmington area of the city.

The upcoming commercial is part of a larger deal J Cole has with Puma.

In November, he teamed with Puma Hoops for a special edition of the Clyde Hardwood basketball silhouette and the PUMA x Dreamville Clyde ROTD3.

It’s not surprising J Cole decided to film the commercial in his hometown since the award-winning rapper gives back to the community regularly through the Dreamville Foundation.

Puma also has deals with top rappers like Meek Mill, Nipsey Hussle, G-Eazy, and YBN Cordae

Faith Says She Would Never Diss B.I.G After Lifetime Doc Disaster

(AllHipHop News) Faith Evans is crushed by the recent Lifetime limited series “Hopelessly in Love.”

The show highlights her relationship with the late legendary rapper Notorious B.I.G.

During an interview on the ‘Tamron Hall,” the R&B legend said she did not like the direction “Hopelessly in Love” took.

The series was pitched to Faith as a different concept, that was supposed to be about her, how she grew up and how she fell in love with B.I.G.

However, the episode took a different turn and focused on the drama in her relationship with her former husband.

“I just want to explain to my fans because that’s just never been my thing in my life, in my career, especially after B.I.G.,” Faith said. “There’s so many stories and so many events that happened and a lot of it has already been talked about so I’ve never felt the need to have to explain things or clarify things to the public. I lived it, you know?”

On the death of B.I.G., Evans said that the person who killed him is known even by LAPD.

She considers the case as unsolved in that no one was brought to justice for the killing.

“It’s certainly unfortunate that no one has been brought to justice and we do believe that they know what happened,” Faith stated. “It’s been so long. However, I think in all these years it’s just to a point where we had to just accept what it is, as unfortunate as even the case itself is.”

Faith Evans is now married to Stevie J. The husband sees Faith as a beautiful person who hasn’t yet experienced the love she deserves.

The two wed in 2018 after they started dating in 2016.

Stevie J said that they started seeing each other in 2016 and asked her to marry him when he realized he did not want to lose his friend or love of his life.

Trick Daddy Arrested For Cocaine, DUI

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Trick Daddy is in trouble with the law again after he was arrested for cocaine and DUI early Saturday morning.

The rapper was allegedly driving erratically to the point where he was hitting street signs according to a report from the Miami Herald. 

When the police pulled him over, they noticed his red eyes and slurred speech and that lead to a full, immediate investigation. 

The rapper apparently failed a sobriety test and was arrested. 

After he was taken to the Hammocks District Station, police allegedly found cocaine rolled up inside of some currency. The rapper also has a warrant for his arrest for another, separate DUI. 

Trick Daddy’s bond was set at $6,000. 

The rapper has had a resurgence of sorts recently. 

He is a prominent fixture on “Love & Hip-Hop Miami” and hosts a radio show with frequent collaborator Trina. He also filed for bankruptcy in October and owes creditors over $800k.

Mally Mall Sued Over Assault During Drug-Fueled Orgy

(AllHipHop News) Former “Love and Hip Hop” star Mally Mall has been sued for sexually assaulting a woman.

In the lawsuit, the woman claims she found herself in an orgy-like nightmare after she went to Mally Mall’s home for a business talk.

The 26-year-old woman, Quashay Davis, is a fitness and clothing model.

Davis claims that in January 2019, she flew to LA from Dallas to meet with Mally to discuss her career.

When in the house, he introduced her to Jayla Foxx, a former p### star. Davis claims that Mally when lying in bed told Jayla to get her a mixed drink with Hennessey.

It was brought to the bedroom. In the lawsuit which TMZ obtained, Davis says that she blacked out when she drank it and she only remembers waking up being massaged by a masseuse.

Mally was there when she woke up and he slapped her so she could remain conscious and said: “You are my new b##ch” and that she was his Jayla number two.

He tried to get her to do cocaine, forced her to do oral sex on him and then penetrated her roughly.

When she asked Mally to stop, he added more weight and she “feared for her life.”

In the lawsuit, Quashay Davis says both Mally and Jayla affirmed they had added molly (ecstasy) to her drink.

She was in and out the whole day and eventually woke up in a “hypersexualized environment” surrounded by naked women.

Her attempt to escape failed as Mally threatened and insulted her. She escaped the next day after Mall passed out.

Jayla took to urgent care where it was found she had injuries related to rape.

Quashay Davis is suing for sexual battery, gender violence, false imprisonment and infliction of physical and emotional distress.

Mally Mall has denied the claims and says he’s being extorted.

EXCLUSIVE: Trey Songz Sex Assault Accuser Hiding Identity Because She’s Muslim

(AllHipHop News) The Jane Doe accuser who says Trey Songz assaulted her on New Year’s Day of 2018 is hiding her identity, because of her religion.

On January 2, 2020, Jane Doe filed a $10 million against Trey Songz over an incident on New Year’s Day – in 2018.

She claims Trey Songz he assaulted her at E11even Nightclub after a night on the town celebrating New Year’s Eve.

Jane Doe says Trey reached his hand up her skirt and attempted to insert his fingers into her v##### through her panties without her consent or permission.

Last week the judge hearing the complaint admonished the woman for not following the proper legal procedure to be granted permission to file as a Jane Doe.

The woman has replied to the judge’s scolding, and she offered up some interesting information about the multi-million dollar legal battle.

Jane Doe is asking a judge to grant her permission to shield her name from the public, because she is a “Muslim woman” who comes from a “very devout Muslim family.”

The unidentified woman says she grew up in Trinidad and immigrated to the United States in 2014.

She said she is filing as a Jane Doe because she comes from a strict Muslim household.

“Under our cultural beliefs and traditions such a sexual assault would have the tendency to bring shame and humiliation upon my family,” Jane Doe wrote.

“As a result of these beliefs, I have yet to even tell my family about the incident involved in the Complaint in an effort to protect them,” Jane Doe revealed.

According to Jane Doe, she thinks she could be subjected to violence at the hands of Islamic extremist groups and the singer’s fans too.

“I not only fear the reprisals affiliated with my religion, but what would also come through the fans of the Defendants if my name were disclosed,” Jane Doe said.

Jane Doe is worried Trey Songz’ fans will bully her, harass her and leak her telephone number, address and even her job information.

The woman said she has already read statements and comments online which have branded her a ‘liar’ a ‘ho’ and “other false and untrue things.”

Jane Doe told Judge Ursula Ungaro that the online comments are already destroying her self-esteem “and continue to pour salt on what are still presently open wounds” at the hands of Trey Songz.

Jane Doe is asking Judge Ursula Ungaro to allow her to remain anonymous. 

Will Smith And Martin Lawrence Refused To Do Stunts In New “Bad Boys” Movie

(AllHipHop News) Will Smith and Martin Lawrence abandoned plans to complete all the stunt work in the new “Bad Boys” movie after realizing they were no match for action professionals.

The comedy pals have reunited for “Bad Boys For Life,” the long-awaited third and final film in the buddy cop franchise, which began in 1995 and continued with the 2003 sequel, “Bad Boys II.”

Smith, 51, initially wanted the duo to take on as much of the action work as possible, just like the old days, but it didn’t take the stars long to admit they were no longer cut out for the physical toll of the stunt scenes.

“The big change for us (from previous films) was probably the amount of stunt work,” Will shared in a joint interview on U.S. breakfast show Good Morning America.

“When I started, I was like, ‘We doing all the stunts, we doing everything, every one of these Bad Boys, 25 years later, all the stunts!’ Then like, probably three days in, I looked over to (Lawrence), and was like, ‘Hey, what you thinking?’

“He was like, ‘Yeah, we should probably let the stuntmen earn they money!’”

Lawrence, 54, acknowledges his larger frame is partly to blame for his lack of fitness but jokes that packing on the pounds was all in preparation to reprise his role as veteran Miami Police Department Detective Marcus Burnett, who becomes a grandfather in the new film.

“I’m a lot heavier (compared to the previous installments),” he said. “I put on a little more pounds but it’s for the role…! Method acting!”

Smith, who plays his onscreen partner, Detective Mike Lowrey, quipped, “I was like, ‘Oh, Martin’s really into this character!’”

“Bad Boys For Life” opens in theaters next week.

Oprah Winfrey Steps Away From Russell Doc

(AllHipHop Rumors) Oprah Winfrey has decided to leave a documentary that is allegedly going to metaphorically put Russell Simmons on trial.

“I have decided that I will no longer be executive producer on The Untitled Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering documentary and it will not air on Apple TV+,” the billionaire mogul told The Hollywood Reporter.

She expounded on why she decided not to continue, focusing on the need for a more comprehensive look at sexual abuse, harassment and rape.

”First and foremost, I want it to be known that I unequivocally believe and support the women. Their stories deserve to be told and heard. In my opinion, there is more work to be done on the film to illuminate the full scope of what the victims endured, and it has become clear that the filmmakers and I are not aligned in that creative vision Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering are talented filmmakers. I have great respect for their mission but given the filmmakers’ desire to premiere the film at the Sundance Film Festival before I believe it is complete, I feel it’s best to step aside,” Winfrey continued. “I will be working with Time’s Up to support the victims and those impacted by abuse and sexual harassment.”

Time’s Up Foundation president and CEO Tina Tchen responded in a terse statement. 

“Time’s Up is in full support of the survivors who have spoken out about Russell Simmons. These women are brave. We believe them. We support Oprah Winfrey in maintaining that the victims’ stories deserve to be heard on their own terms. Too often, Black women are silenced, disbelieved, or even vilified when they speak out. On top of that, for years, these women have been attacked by powerful forces surrounding Russell Simmons – illustrating how difficult it is to speak out against powerful men. And how important it is for powerful men to be held accountable for their actions. As Oprah made clear in her statement, any decision by her and Apple regarding this documentary does not change the underlying facts. We assert Time’s Up’s unwavering support for these survivors. We are in awe of their courage and strength. We will continue to fight for them, and we will continue to fight for a future where Black women are truly heard and believed.”

Donald Glover’s#### Series “Atlanta” Isn’t Returning Until Next Year

(AllHipHop News) Donald Glover’s#### FX series “Atlanta” won’t be returning to screens until next year.

The comedy-drama TV show’s second series last aired in May 2018, and FX’s CEO John Landgraf explained at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour on Thursday (January 9th) a third season won’t debut until January 2021.

He said seasons three and four of the show will film back-to-back, and noted, “Some of our best shows didn’t air (in 2019),” also referencing Fargo and American Crime Story, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

However, it’s not all bad news for Atlanta fans, as Landgraf insisted the show will continue to run “as long as Donald wants to make it.”

Atlanta, also starring Brian Tyree Henry, portrays two cousins navigating the Atlanta rap scene to improve their lives and the lives of their families. 

Joe Budden Thinks Ari Lennox Is A Bit “Insecure” Following Rottweiler Comparison

And he’s back! This time with another opinion on a very sensitive subject many black women in today’s society face.

If you haven’t heard, Ari Lennox was recently compared to a Rottweiler on social media. This really hurt her feelings so she went to Instagram live in tears to let out her sentiments. She calls out those who feel comfortable tearing down black women and no other race.

Social media had a lot to say about the situation and many sided with her. Colorism and the degrading of black women is something that is negatively powerful in our community. So when Ari saw comments made about her looks, I guess it triggered something in her to spew her words against those who talk negatively on black women.

According to Joe Budden, he agrees with what Ari says about black women, but feels she is a bit insecure. He feels that if Ari believes that black is truly beautiful than there should be no reason she should use her “energy, platform, and power” to reply to any negative comments. 

The discussion with Joe can be seen on The Joe Budden Podcast below around the 2:00 minute mark. 

What y’all think? Are you siding with Joe on this? 

EXCLUSIVE: 50 Cent Planning To Track Down Rick Ross In Georgia

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent’s pursuit of Miami rapper Rick Ross will intensify this month.

The G-Unit boss has been attempting to serve Rick Ross with papers, so he can be deposed in an ongoing battle with a law firm over a leaked sex tape.

50’s lawyers just shot back at Reed Smith’s claims last week that he was using his fruitless attempts to depose Rick Ross as a stall tactic as their $32 million battle winds through the court.

50’s lawyers claim Rick Ross, born William Leonard Roberts II, has been avoiding process servers, who have been traveling coast-to-coast in an attempt to subpoena the rapper five different times with no luck.

“[50 Cent] has retained local counsel in the Northern District of Georgia and is in the process of preparing to file a Motion to Compel Ross’ compliance with the Ross Subpoena in that District,” Imran H. Ansari, Esq. confirmed.

50 Cent is at war with his former lawyers at Reed Smith and he’s suing the law firm for $32 million.

The rapper claims Reed Smith failed to properly defend him in a lawsuit filed by Rick Ross’s ex-girlfriend Lastonia Leviston.

50 Cent filed for bankruptcy in July of 2015 after he was ordered to pay $7 million to Leviston after he was found liable for posting the sex tape with his critique.

50 Cent maintains the sex tape first popped up on a website he believes was affiliated with Rick Ross which was located at ThisIsSabrinaSin.Ning.Com.

50 Cent, born Curtis James Jackson III, is asking a judge to grant a motion allowing him time to track down Rick Ross, so he can testify in court before January 31st. 

EXCLUSIVE: Judge Shoots Down Tekashi 69 Kidnapper’s Bid For New Trial

(AllHipHop News) A judge just ruined the hopes of the man who kidnapped rapper Tekashi 69 after striking down his an appeal for a new trial after an “odd” verdict issued by the jury.

Anthony “Harv” Ellison was convicted of kidnapping the rapper after the rap star testified against him during a sensational trial in October.

The rapper, born Daniel Hernandez, confirmed Ellison was the one who pistol-whipped, robbed and kidnapped him during the height of an internal conflict over control of his career between members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

Ellison was eventually convicted of maiming and assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, but he was acquitted of assault with a deadly weapon in aid of racketeering.

Ellison’s lawyer Deveraux L. Cannick blasted the verdict as “utterly incompatible with one another” and filed an appeal in December of 2019.

But U.S. prosecutor Geoffrey S. Berman sharply disagreed with Cannick and urged Judge Paul Englemayer to dismiss Ellison’s attempt for a new trial in December.

Berman said that the violent string of events between Ellison and Kifano “Shotti” Jordan over the direction of 6ix9ine’s career provided enough evidence to support the jury’s verdict.

“The evidence showed that Ellison slashed Mark Hobdy in the face in retaliation for other Nine Trey members shooting Ellison’s friend. Hernandez testified that he was told by Jordan and another Nine Trey member known to Hernandez as ‘Gunz’ that Gunz shot at Ellison and hit

another person, paralyzing him,” Geoffrey S. Berman revealed.

“Ellison and Sha committed the July 22, 2018 robbery and kidnapping of Hernandez – and forced Hernandez to admit that he was not ‘Billy’ – in order to increase Ellison’s standing within Nine Trey and to challenge

Kifano Jordan’s leadership,” Geoffrey S. Berman revealed. “This dispute between Ellison and Jordan continued into October 2018, as Jordan authorized others to shoot at Ellison’s associates in Smurf Village,

which in turn, resulted in Ellison committing the October 24 slashing in retaliation.”

Today, (January 10th) Judge Paul Englemayer sided with prosecutors and ruled the evidence overwhelmingly proved that Ellison kidnapped the rap star while explaining the discrepancy with jurors’ conclusion.

“[Tekashi 69] testified that the kidnapping had been effectuated by a gun, as indeed the videotape (which reflected the display of guns by Ellison and collaborator “Sha”) and Rivera’s testimony confirmed. But Hernandez notably did not testify that the assault on his person, causing facial contusions, had been effectuated with a gun.”

Anthony “Harv” Ellison is slated to be sentenced on February 26th, 2020. 

Cassidy Takes Massive Loss In Recent Battle!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Those of us of a certain age remember when Cassidy and Freeway battled. A pair of young Philly rappers that were at the pinnacle of their game. Freeway was down with The Roc and Cass was down with Swizz Beatz…or soon-to-be. Either way, Cass was on the come up and he was known to be a fierce battler in the field of Hip-Hop. That was a very long time ago…over 10 at the very least. Anyway. the homie Cass is basically the blueprint for the URL-type of a battle rapper. But, fast-forward to 2020, the genre has taken on a life of its own. 

It is well known that the youth eat the old in rap, and this has not changed. Now, Cass is the OG and there are scores of younger rappers that are feasting on him. The last is Arsenal, the NY rapper. I didn’t even know they were battling until after it happened. The streets have told me that the former young bull has taken yet another L. They did not mince words when talking about it. 

The crowd seemed to boo Cass. 

Now, let me be clear: I like Cassidy. I am sure he likes rapping still. He ain’t wack. But, this is the thing: THE GAME HAS CHANGED. He’s going to have to change up or else he will always be a stepping stone for these young professional battlers. I will pray for him. 

This all went down in Philly by the way. It looks like Freeway, Gillie and other Philly greats were in the house. How ironic. 

At one point, Arsenal put his hands on Cassidy and it looked like it may turn into a real fight. Look at it below.

Check this out…remember that Cassidy has actual songs.
