Young Buck’s Mom Loses Bid For Protection Order For Rapper In Legal War Against Prosecutor

(AllHipHop News) The mother of Young Buck has failed in a legal bid to gain protection from the lawyer who prosecuted the rapper for violating his probation conditions.

Audrey Horn, the former G-Unit star’s mother, appeared in a Nashville, Tennessee court on Wednesday (August 24) and asked Judge Andrea Walker to issue a protective order against Assistant U.S. District Attorney Sunny Koshy.

Earlier this month a judge ruled Young Buck, real name David Darnell Brown had violated the conditions of his probation after being arrested last month on domestic assault and vandalism charges.

Brown was also found to have violated the conditions of a three-year supervised release following 2013 jail time for firearms charge, and handed a seven month sentence.

Horn subsequently filed for a protective order against Koshy, who prosecuted the case.

According to The Tennessean newspaper, Horn’s filing included the claim that Koshy had “used his power and influence to stalk and destroy my life and my family.”

Judge Walker refused to issue the protective order, saying that she regarded the filing by the Hip-Hop star’s mother to be “nothing more than an attempt to retaliate against a federal prosecutor who is simply trying to do his job.”

She added that for a protective order to be issued, the person requesting it needs to be in immediate danger – which Horn is not.

The judge also noted that there were discrepancies between Horn’s recollections of having met the prosecutor in Nashville in 1980, and Koshy’s assertion that he had not visited Tennessee until a decade later.

“We have never even spoken in court or elsewhere,” Koshy told the judge.

In July Brown, 35, was arrested for allegedly threatening to burn down his ex-girlfriend’s home after demanding the return of items of property.

He was released from custody under the condition he would not contact his ex, but he reportedly tried to get in touch with her over 100 times.

Kanye West & Adidas To Release Yeezy Sneakers Worn By NBA, NFL & MLB Players

(AllHipHop News) Is Yeezy really about to jump over Jumpman? The Kanye West and Adidas partnership is set to produce a new sneaker collection for 2017.

Slam reports shoes bearing the G.O.O.D. Music boss’ “Yeezy” tag will be seen on the feet of NBA players connected to the show company.

The article reads in part:

We’ll also see Yeezy iterations primed for football, baseball and soccer, as the brand continues to enjoy storied success in global soccer and looks to ramp up signing more NFL and MLB athletes. After sponsoring only around 20 players in each stateside league in recent years, the brand is planning to sign up to 250 players in both the NFL and MLB within the next three seasons. With Kanye in the fold, athletes have never been more open to signing with adidas.

According to Slam, Kanye is on pace to earn an endorsement rate comparable to basketball superstars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. Royalty incentives, bonuses, and triggers could possibly push that financial total even higher.

“He can become very wealthy, just like Michael Jordan has,” an Adidas source stated.

In June, Kanye and Adidas announced the creation of retail stores that will serve as hubs for Yeezy products. The statement also included the revelation of forthcoming performance-intended street and sport designs.

Do you think Lil’ Wayne & Birdman will ever truly reconcile. If you were Wayne, could you trust Birdman?

King Hov does not play about Queen Bey, and he reminded everyone when he got a crazed Beyonce fan in check.

Jay Z and Beyonce were supporting Usher at the SVA Theatre screening of ‘Hands Of Stone’.

An anxious fan was determined to get a forced selfie with Beyonce as she attempted to get into their limo.

Ice Cube Says New Line Cinema Is Still Holding Up Plans For “Friday” Sequel

(AllHipHop News) Rapper/actor Ice Cube is in talks to make a new “Friday” sequel, 14 years after the last film in the comedy trilogy was released.

The Ride Along star took to Twitter to update fans about the planned film, titled “Last Friday,” insisting he will only reprise his role as Craig Jones for the right story.

“We had a meeting,” he began. “Can’t do Last Friday unless we can do it right. Ball is in (studio) New Line Cinema’s hands. Bat is in mine”.

He also dismissed rumors suggesting his son, actor O’Shea Jackson, Jr., and comedian DC Young Fly would be taking over the lead roles in a new “Friday” film, after images of the pair were posted on Facebook.

Sharing a snapshot of the post, he declared: “This is fake. My son doesn’t have a Facebook account. Can’t mess with a classic.”

Ice Cube’s comments come two years after he claimed the long-gestating project had stalled at New Line.

In a Reddit question and answer session, he wrote, “The next ‘Friday’ movie is caught up in development hell at New Line Cinema. Pray that we get it outta there.”

Ice Cube co-created the comedy franchise back in 1995 with, “Friday,” which co-starred Chris Tucker.

He followed it up with two sequels – 2000’s “Next Friday” and 2002’s “Friday After Next.”

#BowWowAintBeenPoppinSince: Bow Wow Gets Roasted Once Again!

Rapper Bow Wow has taken yet another L via social media and it’s hashtags. The rapper honestly does it to himself. He seems to have fallen victim to the “child star curse” because this man can’t win for losing.

From being arrogant for no reason to posting ignorant comments about race, social injustice, and his lack of involvement in political matters, one has to wonder what’s wrong with Shad Moss.

If you are wondering what started the latest social media attack against Lil’ Bow Wow, it’s his latest feud with his ex, Erica Mena.

Bow Wow didn’t appreciate Erica’s interview with DJ Vlad as she told him that she allegedly broke things off with Bow, and she did it because he was more damaged than she was.

Bow Wow had some choice words for Erica Mena, and well another session of relentless roasting ensued for the rapper.

Jay Sean Talks Leaving Cash Money Records (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Cash Money Records has built a music empire that includes superstars Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj. The label has also been attached to numerous artists actively attempting to break ties with the company.

British singer-songwriter Jay Sean is one of those acts to part ways with CMR. The creator of the #1 single “Down” featuring Wayne spoke with The Lowdown with Diana Madison.

“A lot of people don’t understand all the stuff behind the scenes,” explained Sean on why he went several years without dropping new music.

He continued, “I was in a contract I was trying to get out of. I was signed to Cash Money. Things were going great – really well. Then it just went ehh.”

Jay Sean released 2009’s All Or Nothing and 2013’s Neon on Cash Money/Universal. The 37-year-old U.K. native joined other artists  – such as Busta Rhymes, DJ Khaled, and Tyga – to separate from the Birdman-led label.

Juvenile and Turk left CMR to later re-sign with the company. Fellow Hot Boys founding member Lil Wayne is still reportedly suing Cash Money for unpaid royalties.

Mariah’s Reps Deny Beyonce Rage Reports

Mariah Carey’s representative is laughing off reports suggesting the diva once threw fiance James Packer’s computer out of a window when a Beyonce song appeared on a playlist.

The sourced story began as an article on Australian website The Fix and it was picked up by blogs and news outlets across the world.

Insiders told The Fix Mariah flew into a rage when Packer turned on Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love,” and she “threw the computer that was playing it via speakers out the window”, and then “ran out of the room screaming”.

A rep for Carey, who became engaged to the Australian billionaire earlier this year tells GossipCop the allegations are “false.”

No Way Out: Diddy Pops Up At Drake Concert

It’s certainly good to see that Drake and Diddy have apparently settled all of their differences especially after the rumors of Diddy allegedly slapping Drake a while back and Drake allegedly sneak dissing Puff on “4PM In Calabasas.” Remember Drake rapped on the potentially Bad Boy production-inspired song,

“The higher I get the less they accept me. Even had the OGs tryna press me, Ha-ha-ha-ha.”

Diddy was spotted supporting the 6 God at the Greensboro, North Carolina tour stop of Drake & Future’s ‘Summer Sixteen’ tour.

One would have to wonder out of all of the possible tour stops to visit, why would Diddy choose the North Carolina one. Maybe he was linking up with his pal Big Fendi.

There have also been rumors that Cassie has been texting Drake so maybe Puff had another reason to stop by. Puff has jokingly said that he doesn’t want any problems with Drake in the past, so perhaps this could be genuine support.

Chicago Rapper Bandman Kevo Sentenced To 22 Months In Federal Prison

(AllHipHop News) Kevin “Bandman Kevo” Ford was arrested in 2014 for allegedly taking part in a $600,000 “credit card cracking” scam. The Chicago-based rapper eventually pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
