PnB Rock Murder Trial: Defense Attempts To Put Full Blame On Teen Shooter

By: Justin IveyCategory: Uncategorized

Los Angeles County jurors heard opening statements in the PnB Rock murder trial on Tuesday (July 24). The jury will decide whether Freddie Trone and Tremont Jones were responsible for the late rapper’s 2022 shooting death.

Trone’s son, the alleged shooter, will be tried separately due to his age. He was 17 years old at the time of the deadly incident. According to Rolling Stone, he is scheduled for a competency hearing in juvenile court on Friday (July 26).

Prosecutors claim Jones tipped off Trone to PnB Rock dining at Roscoe’s Chicken ‘N Waffles in South Los Angeles on the day of the shooting. Trone allegedly drove his son to the restaurant and sent the teen inside with a gun to rob the rapper. The gunman fatally shot PnB Rock before fleeing the scene. Trone attempted to torch and ditch the getaway car.

Trone pleaded not guilty to murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit a felony. His attorney conceded he was guilty of accessory after the fact but placed the rest of the blame on Trone’s son.

“You will hear no evidence that he planned this with his son,” Trone’s lawyer Winston McKesson told the jury. “That he instructed his son to do this or he egged him on. They will have evidence that my client did help his son cover this up. We’re not disputing that. What we’re saying is the gunman acted alone.”

Jones pleaded not guilty to robbery, conspiracy and being a felon in possession of a firearm. His lawyer raised questions about the prosecution’s evidence against Jones.

“All of this is guesswork,” Jones’ attorney Davis Haas argued. “All guesswork, and when you can’t put your finger on specific words or specific actions, we call that a finding of not guilty.”

Trone’s wife Shauntel avoided trial by accepting a plea deal. She was charged with accessory after the fact for her role in PnB Rock’s death.

Donald Trump Had Ridiculous Plan To Unify America With Kanye West’s Help

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House communications director during Donald Trump’s administration, recalled one of his more foolish ideas as president on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Farah Griffin said Trump once pitched a Kanye West-led church service on the White House lawn to unite America.

“This is gonna be dark,” Farah Griffin explained. “To be honest, one day, he wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to unify the country. And I can think of few things less unifying than that. We were like, ‘Not the time or place, sir.’”

Trump is running for president once again. If he wins, he will be the first convicted felon to be elected president. The Republican candidate was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in May. His sentencing was delayed until at least September.

President Joe Biden was seeking re-election before dropping out of the race on Sunday (July 21). He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination.

“My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden said. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”

Trump attacked Biden and Harris on Truth Social.

“Joe Biden will go down as the Worst President in the history of the United States,” Trump wrote. “KAMALA, OUR HORRIBLE & INCOMPETENT BORDER CZAR, WILL BE WORSE!”

He added, “Does Lyin’ Kamala Harris think Joe Biden is fit to run the U.S.A. for the next six months? She must answer the question. Now it appears Joe is delegating his Presidential Authority to unelected Washington Bureaucrats! He doesn’t even trust his Vice President. WHO IS RUNNING THE COUNTRY?”

Harris has not been officially nominated as the Democratic candidate for president. The nomination process will conclude at the Democratic National Convention in August.

Fivio Foreign Denies Unfollowing Pop Smoke & Charging His Older Brother $10K For Interview

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Fivio Foreign is clearing the air regarding allegations that he attempted to charge Pop Smoke’s brother thousands of dollars to do an interview for his podcast.

During a recent Instagram Live, Fivio responded to fans commenting with questions regarding his late rap associate Pop Smoke while previewing several unreleased records. Among the topics he addressed, one in particular stood out, considering it involved disparaging allegations about Fivio from a man claiming to be Pop’s brother.

More specifically, Pop’s older brother Obasi Jackson recently shared a video on TikTok in which he claimed the “City Of God” rapper attempted to charge him $10,000 to do an interview with his podcast Free Mind TV. Though Fivio did not address Jackson by name, he did briefly speak on the allegation against him by aggressively deading off the conversation before it even started.

“Don’t come over here asking me about no goofy Pop Smoke brother that muthaf##king Pop Smoke ain’t never even follow,” Fivio said. “Don’t ask me about none of them goofy muthaf##kas. A lot of these n###as gone have to come outside one day. When y’all come outside I’ll be right there like chicken and beer.”

In another portion of the clip from the live, Fivio addresses fan concern that he unfollowed Pop Smoke’s official profile on Instagram. However, instead of responding with the energy of his previous comments, he explained that there is likely a much more understandable and plausible explanation for the situation.

“Y’all talking about a follow, look at this,” Fivio said while pointing to a tattoo on his chest dedicated to Pop. “Look at this. The smoke would never clear off my chest. Y’all talking about a follow. I don’t know. I don’t know how it unfollowed. I know I went through a season of following zero people. I don’t even care. I don’t care. Like, you n###as is talking to me about Instagram.”

Fivio Foreign and the late Pop Smoke were significant figures in the Brooklyn drill music scene, specifically representing the neighborhood of Canarsie. They first connected through their neighborhood ties and quickly recognized each other’s talent, leading to their first collaboration on the track “Sweetheart” from Fivio’s 2019 EP, Pain and Love.

The track garnered millions of streams across various platforms, contributing to both artists’ rising fame. Tragically, Pop Smoke’s burgeoning career was cut short when he was murdered during a home invasion in Los Angeles in February 2020. Fivio appeared on “Demon,” a posthumous collaboration included on Pop Smoke’s album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon.

ScHoolboy Q Trashes Buffalo Rapper’s “Embarrassing” Music After Unsolicited Attack

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Buffalo-based rapper Dom Brown faced the wrath of ScHoolboy Q on Wednesday (July 24). The Top Dawg Entertainment artist posted a scathing review of Brown’s music after the lesser-known rapper criticized Q for not wanting to “relate” to 14-year-old fans.

“Nobody relate to tHis my boy,” Q wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “tHis embarrassing dawg.”

Brown was bothered by views expressed by Q on Kevin Hart’s Gold Minds podcast. The TDE rapper explained why he had no desire to make music that appealed to teens.

“Me personally, I don’t want to relate to kids,” Q told Hart. “At 37 years old, I don’t want a 14 year old like, ‘Aw s###!’ … I just don’t want it. It’s not for me. My lyrics aren’t coming from there. My lyrics are about my life. At 37, I don’t have 13-year-old bars right now. But I can still make you move, don’t get me wrong. Making somebody move is different. I don’t think I should relate to a 14 year old.”

Brown reacted by calling out Q on social media.

“You was 14 listening to older rappers ….. you mad that those 14 year old kids not inspired by you @ScHoolboyQ,” Brown wrote.

The post caught Q’s attention. He found a clip of Brown performing on Daytime Buffalo and ruthlessly mocked the performance.

“Bro i just played tHis for da Homies we f###### crying,” Q wrote. “leave me alone Man I was minding my bizz.. once again tHis is f##### awful & embarrassing. Don’t do tHis nomo it’s scary How un aware u are… don’t do tHis it’s sad.”

A fan thought it would be funny if Q performed Brown’s song at a tour date in New York on Saturday (July 27). The Black Hippy member liked the idea.

“Lokey ima add tHis to tHe list,” he responded.

Q released his latest album Blue Lips in March. It debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200.

Drake Is “Happier” After Kendrick Lamar Battle, Producer Gordo Says: “It’s Pretty Weird”

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Drake’s friend and producer Gordo updated fans on the OVO rapper’s state of mind after a highly contentious battle against Kendrick Lamar. The producer formerly known as Carnage claimed Drake is feeling great despite losing to Kendrick. Gordo said Drake moved past the beef.

“Ever since all this has happened… I’ve seen him happier,” Gordo told PEOPLE. “It’s really weird. He’s pretty jolly… The internet makes it seem like, ‘Oh, that photo, he’s all sad and s###.’ That’s just a bad photo from a bad camera. But because it’s him, it’s put under a magnifying glass like, ‘Oh, look at his eyes. He’s looking a little droopy. He hasn’t slept.’ But the guy’s been happy as s###, to be honest. He’s chilling.”

Drake and Kendrick’s long-brewing feud exploded when K. Dot appeared on Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You album in March. Kendrick dissed Drake on the song “Like That,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The chart-topping cut led to Drake and Kendrick exchanging several diss tracks in April and May.

The general public crowned Kendrick the winner largely thanks to his smash hit “Not Like Us.” The diss track crossed over in a way few disses do, becoming Kendrick’s second No. 1 song of the year. It remained Hip-Hop’s biggest hit of 2024.

Kendrick accused Drake of grooming and pedophilia. Drake responded to the allegations with “The Heart Part 6,” but the song failed to dampen the public’s enthusiasm for “Not Like Us.”

Drake and Kendrick haven’t dropped any diss tracks since the release of “The Heart Part 6” in May. Kendrick added insult to injury by performing “Not Like Us” multiple times at a Juneteenth concert livestreamed by Amazon Prime Video. He also dropped a music video for the song on the Fourth of July.

DeMar DeRozan Insists “Drake’s Still My Man,” Despite Appearing In Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Video 

By: London JennnCategory: News

DeMar DeRozan is shedding more light on his role in the video for Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us,” despite his well-documented friendship with the OVO honcho. 

In a new interview with The Sacramento Bee, the newly signed Sacramento Kings small forward has elaborated on his appearance in the video. 

“It was fun to be a part of (‘Not Like Us’),” DeRozan explained. “For that moment, it was so much bigger than what people look at it as a beef between (Lamar) and Drake. It brought our whole city together in a different type of light where there wasn’t no issues, no violence. Everybody was coming together in a peaceful manner and that was the beauty out of those moments.” 

DeRozan also appeared at K. Dot’s historic Juneteenth concert The Pop Out: Ken & Friends, during a performance of the chart-topper.  

DeRozan explained that Kendrick is “basically family,” and says they would do anything for each other.  “When he did the song, he asked me to be a part of it,” he added. “Whatever it is he’s doing, I’m going to be a part of it without a thought. That’s kind of always been our relationship.” 

However, DeRozan insisted his ties to Kendrick Lamar don’t affect his relationship with Drake.  

“Drake’s still my man, still my man, none of it changed,” DeRozan said. “It’s so easy to get overlooked and look at it for what it looks like, but at the end of the day it’s music, entertainment. Two of the biggest rappers in the world went at it from a competitive standpoint and they battled it out.” 

Has Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Caused Rash Of Sprained Ankles & Busted Knees?

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Exclusives

The beef is cooling off, but the effects are long lasting. Are doctors seeing an influx of injuries following the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef? It may not be an epidemic, but AllHipHop has spoken with a Pennsylvania physician, who reported a couple of cases linked to some partying gone awry. Both of these injuries occurred while people were dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” One of them happened recently at a party and an individual tried to Crip Walk (C-Walking). Well, the person wasn’t cool like Dub C.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGe5ot4Bps

Here’s what the doctor said, “As a physician, I can confirm that such dance-related injuries, while uncommon, are not unheard of. The intricate and vigorous footwork involved in C-Walking can lead to various musculoskeletal injuries.

In one particular case, the patient suffered a sprained ankle and mild knee strain due to improper form and overexertion during the dance.” The other one took place at a Juneteenth party. Why are you C-Walking for Juneteenth? Who knew that you had to have proper form? I sure didn’t.

People, it’s possible to hurt yourself trying to Crip Walk if you do not perform the moves correctly or if you overexert yourself. Leave it to the good folks from Cali, because the Crip Walk involves a lot of precise footwork, among other things. You can get sprained ankles, hurt knees, muscle industries and you can fall. The doctor also gave some clues on what to do to minimize injury.

  1. Warm up before crip walking.
  2. Do not crip walk on slippery surfaces.
  3. Wear the proper footwear. I like Black Forces.
  4. Crip walk slow and get faster as you get better.
  5. If you are older, don’t do it. That does not include W.C. aka Dub C. Snoop is also a master.
  6. Uh…Just Relax Or Don’t!

Vince Staples Appears To Respond To Hip-Hop Twitter Fan Debate Comparing Him To J. Cole

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Vince Staples has seemingly responded, begrudgingly at that, to the debate raging on Twitter regarding who the better MC is—himself or J. Cole.

While it’s unclear exactly how the debate started, Twitter (X) users managed to generate enough tweets for both J. Cole and Vince Staples to become trending topics on the platform. From comparing the two rapper’s full discographies to point-for-point contrasting their lyrical styles, the fans on rap Twitter fought tooth and nail over who currently has the more respectable legacy.

However, early on in the debate, the Long Beach rapper appeared to stumble upon the spirited debate upon discovering he was a trending topic, and reacted to the discourse with frustration and overall angst.

“You n##### need jobs,” Vince wrote in the first tweet. He followed up in another, “So passionate about hip hop but I’ve yet to see one of you weird ass n###as break dance.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Overall, it’s hard not to sympathize with Vince, considering a multitude of the takes within the debate centered around personal opinion, rather than true constructive criticism of either MC. In fact, one of the early takes that kicked off the entire discourse essentially qualified Vince as a much less capable rapper than J. Cole.

“There’s not a single thing Vince Staples does better than J. Cole,” the user @AllRapTakes wrote in a tweet. “I’d also rather listen to the top half of Cole’s discography over Vince’s (since people wanna use discog as a cop out).”

Another user countered, “Vince makes better albums and comes up with better concepts and unique production.”

Some users theorized the root of the comparisons stem from the lack of respect J. Cole fans have for him as a formidable artist.

“The J. Cole disrespect on this app is unreal. Mfs be saying “I’m a J Cole fan but-” no mf you are not. If you were, you would put some respect on his name and won’t say any random ass n###a clears him “in every aspect,” a user wrote in a tweet.

Other users opted to ring in other rappers to prove a point, including a user who tweeted, “Vince Staples absolutely has a better discography than Cole. So does ScHoolboy. So do a lot of rappers lmao.”

Overall, the entire thing turned into a giant digital pissing match over which artist makes better music, fueled by subjective and watered-down t##-for-tat retorts weaponizing J. Cole and Vince Staple’s discographies.

By: London JennnCategory: News

Shanté Broadus is spilling the beans on why she fell for her husband, Snoop Dogg. The high school sweethearts married in 1997.

In a new interview with “Big Boy TV,” Broadus explained to the veteran host what attracted her to Snoop Dogg. According to Broadus, his dark skin and tall good looks first caught her eye, alongside his humor and cool rapper vibe.  

“He was funny,” she said before playfully rolling her eyes when Big Boy said, “He still is.” 

While Broadus said that Snoop Dogg might come home with “an attitude,” she quickly shuts it down. “It’s cool. I just tell him to shut the hell up and keep it pushing,” she said with a laugh.

Earlier this year, at his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star ceremony, Snoop Dogg revealed how Charlie Wilson helped keep his marriage on track.  

“This man right here means the world to me, not just musically but personally,” he explained. “Especially when it comes to me and my wife because there were certain phases in my life where I felt like, ‘I should be by myself, I should do this alone.’” 

The Death Row Records boss continued, sharing that the veteran singer “was the only one man enough to pull me to the side and let me know, ‘Don’t blow a good thing. Get back home. You got the greatest woman in the world. You have a family.’” 

YFN Lucci Gets Boost For Parole: DA Fani Wills Recommends Early Release

By: London JennnCategory: News

YFN Lucci could soon walk free from prison after the Fulton County DA recommended his early release. 

In an interview with WSB-TV on Tuesday (July 23), the Atlanta rapper’s attorney, Drew Findling, shared his surprise that DA Fanni Willis submitted a letter to the State Board of Pardons supporting his early release. 

“The District Attorney of Fulton County did the unorthodox,” Findling said. “That letter from the district attorney is a powerful punch and is really at the heart of the letter and supporting documents and the memorandum that we have shared with the parole board.” 

Findling is asking for YFN Lucci’s Immediate release subject to completion of relevant courses. However, he acknowledged, “It could be January of 2025.” 

In the letter, written June 11, Willis confirmed “the State does not object,” to YFN Lucci’s release “the first time he becomes eligible for parole or after serving one-third of his prison sentence, whichever comes first.” 

The recommendation is “conditioned upon the Defendant’s compliance with the lawful authority of all Department of Corrections personnel and having had no incidents of any kind in any facility” while in custody.  

Findling believes the evidence wasn’t there to charge YFN Lucci in the first place.   

“I think that had he not been well known in the community given the facts and circumstances of this case, he probably would not have been charged,” Findling said. “His biggest priority is his children and his biggest priority is his family.” 

Killer Mike Backs YFN Lucci’s Early Release

WSB-TV also report Killer Mike submitted a letter to the Parole Board in support of YFN Lucci’s early release.

YFN Lucci has remained in jail since 2021, when he was charged with racketeering, violating Atlanta’s anti-gang law, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.  

In January this year, the rapper pleaded guilty as a part of a plea deal and received a 20-year sentence. The judge granted YFN Lucci time served and parole eligibility in about three and a half months from the date of sentencing.  

Earlier this week, fellow Atlanta rapper Ralo showed love to Lucci, giving him his flowers in a Facetime jail call. He also promised to take Lucci’s kids back-to-school shopping.

50 Cent Trolls Irv Gotti Over Rumors He’s Jealous Of Nelly & Ashanti’s Relationship 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

50 Cent refuses to let up on his longtime nemesis Irv Gotti. A week after reacting to reports of a woman suing the Murder Inc. Records co-founder for abuse and sexual assault, 50 Cent mocked Gotti over rumors he’s jealous of former signee Ashanti’s relationship with fiancé Nelly. 

Gotti once suggested he had a romantic relationship with the singer, who’s expecting a baby with Nelly. Ashanti denied his claims, and Gotti was ruthlessly trolled after their pregnancy news broke. Netizens revived the memes following the couple’s recent baby shower. 

On Tuesday (July 23), 50 Cent hopped on Instagram to share a blog post that claimed Irv Gotti “is so mad” that Nelly got Ashanti pregnant. 

“LOL I HAD TO SHARE THIS LMAO,” 50 Cent wrote alongside multiple laughing emojis.

50 Cent Taunts Irv Gotti Over Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Just last week, 50 Cent fired another shot at Irv Gotti in their decades-long feud, posting a report about the lawsuit. He also teased a possible Murder. Inc docuseries.

Oh no,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption. “In a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade on July 11, a [woman] accuses 54-year-old Gotti (born Irving Domingo Lorenzo) of sexually assaulting and abusing her on several occasions from 2020 to 2022 in Saint Martin, Miami, and Atlanta. The suit seeks a trial by jury.”  

According to Fiddy, the lawsuit will cripple Gotti financially as he’s broke.  “(The legal fee’s are gonna break his ass in half, he ain’t got no money),” he added. “Welp that all folks.”

Meanwhile, Irv Gotti has denied the allegations and is considering filing a defamation countersuit. A rep claimed the Jane Doe accuser filed suit “after Mr. Gotti rejected the attempt by this individual to coerce a payment of money from him.” 

They added, “The lawsuit contains a single page of ‘facts’ which are unsworn to, sparse by any measure, and which Mr. Gotti categorically denies.” 

Plies Says If White Men Won’t Vote For Kamala Harris, They’re The Problem 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Plies is hitting back against the narrative that America is not ready to elect a Black woman as President, claiming that if white men aren’t ready, then they’re the problem. 

The Florida native never shies away from sharing his political takes, and he’s vocal about his support for Vice President Harris. Plies recently claimed Donald Trump is “scared shitless” now that President Biden is out of the race. He also believes the nation’s racism and sexism will be exposed after the President endorsed Kamala Harris.

Harris now has the support of enough delegates to win the Democratic Party nomination for President. However, many political pundits are asking if white Americans would vote for a Black woman, regardless of how qualified she may be.  

However, after hearing the media question, “Is America is there yet,” Plies took to social media to shut down the debate.  

“America there yet?” He questioned. “It ain’t about if muthafuckin America there yet. It’s about if we muthafuckin there yet.” 

He also addressed the notion that a white man wouldn’t vote for a Black woman. “That’s his muthafuckin business,” he added. “All these muthafuckin years a woman was able to vote for a muthafuckin man, especially a woman of color was able to vote for a white man … now all of a sudden it’s a muthafuckin problem for a white man to vote for a sista? What kind of s### is that? If that’s the case, the sista ain’t the muthafuckin probelm; it’s muthafuckin him.” 

He doubled down in the caption, writing, “We AIN’T CANCELING NO MTFING COOKOUT!!! I Know That!!” 

In a follow-up tweet, Plies urged Kamala Harris to create a “Black Women’s Day” national holiday if elected. “B/c What The Black Woman Has Done For The Democratic Party & This Country. Can No Longer Be Unappreciated!!” he declared. 

In another post, he hit back at attacks on Kamala Harris’ by challenging Donald Trump’s morality.  

Black Organizers Raise Millions For Kamala Harris

Along with Plies, at least 53,000 other Black men believe Kamala Harris should be the next President of the United States.  

On Monday night, thousands of Black men joined a virtual fundraiser conference hosted by the “Win With Black Men” collective. The group reportedly raised over $1.3 million in just four hours for the Harris campaign. 

The conference followed the “Win With Black Women” call, which mobilized over 44,000 Black women in the hours after Biden bowed out of the Presidential race. The group announced they raised over $1.5 million during the call. 

Plies’ support for Kamala Harris should come as no surprise. In 2021, the “Shawty’ hitmaker proclaimed, “The Next President In America Should Be A Female!!!!!!” 

Drake & Lil Yachty Unreleased Collab Leaked By Kai Cenat 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake and Lil Yachty have a new collab coming. 

The close friends and frequent collaborators are back again with another song. Twitch Streamer Kai Cenat previewed the song on his Twitch stream Tuesday night (July 23). He played the melodic track several times in its entirety but didn’t share the official title. 

Drake has yet to comment on the song, but Lil Yachty reposted a snippet of the song on X (Twitter). In the clip, Cenat loses it as he takes in the collab for the first time. 

Meanwhile, in other Drake news, a Houston DJ has come forward to deny the OVO honcho conspired with J Prince to get Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” banned in the city. 

Earlier this week DJ Ari went viral after she wrote on social media that she “got in trouble a few times” for playing the track in Houston clubs. However, users ran with her comments, with some claiming Drake and J Prince were responsible. 

On Tuesday (July 23) DJ Ari issued a clarification via her Instagram Stories.  

“Headlines can be misleading,” she began. Drake nor J Prince never told me not to play that song. Promoters and people that respect those guys told me not to and it was understood. That’s it, that’s all.”

Ice Spice Accused Of $20K Nicki Minaj-Inspired Wigs Scam—But Her Camp Denies She’s Involved

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Rumors

Ice Spice is being dragged by a business owner for allegedly ordering dozens of Nicki Minaj-inspired wigs, only to back out at the last minute without paying a dime.

For context, a talent management rep from Ice Spice’s team has since responded, revealing that Ice Spice reportedly has nothing to do with this transaction. In fact, it was one of her hairstylists that contacted the vendor and didn’t go through with the order in a “timely” manner.

No matter the case, Thee Bella Brand has come forward with some serious claims against the rapper and her team, alleging they engaged in terrible business practices throughout the debacle before abruptly ditching the order. The drama began to unfold when the business owner shared her side of the story on Instagram in a lengthy post revealing a series of events that has left the wig technician allegedly out of thousands of dollars.

“As a business owner, you have to try to turn something into nothing all of the time!” Thee Bella Brand started off in the extensive post caption. “So I was supposed to do Ice Spice’s tour and they sent me a wig order (19) and then they called me again to add more (5) and then when it was time to pay, they didn’t have the budget.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Despite having worked together for years, this time things took a sour turn, the business owner admitted.

“That was my dumb mistake for thinking since we worked together for years that everything will be OK,” the caption reads. “But unfortunately, I learned my lesson they kept changing the date (4 changes) so she decided to cancel last minute (1 day before the units were ready) after I made a whole bunch of wigs.”

At this point, the business owner recalls how they attempted to resolve the issue in a professional manner, despite the lack of discretion afforded to their business.

“I told her to just take the units, but because we didn’t have time to cut them and color them for her this time around. (She likes the majority of the work to be done for her all of the time). I told her professionally I will never deal with her moving forward,” the caption reads.

But the saga didn’t end there, as the post continued, “They then told me they were going to pay my service fee for making the units to at least be fair.”

After the aforementioned promise was purportedly not honored, the business owner claims the issued a final plea for justice to rectify the situation.

“Things happen, but that is not how you handle someone that respects your business AND ALWAYS comes through for you at the very last minute. LITERALLY!!!!!! Also, you still owe me my wig back because it’s not paid for what’s going on with that??”

The post concluded with a striking note, “You really disappointed me when you asked me to give you the tour units for free? 20k in wigs For no promo at that…… Now, when have you ever known me to do that? Thank you for making us make all of these Nicki Minaj wigs. I’m going to go ahead and not upload the rest of the screenshots since this is supposed to be ‘Princess Diana but it’s really always Queen Onika.’ @dijahslayy DIJAH SLAY!!!”

Nicki Minaj first connected with Ice Spice in 2022 after she praised her breakout hit “Munch (Feelin’ U)” and showed her support on social media. Their admiration for each other blossomed into a collaboration on the remix of Ice Spice’s#### single “Princess Diana,” where they celebrated each other’s artistry and talent. Ice Spice has frequently expressed her admiration for Nicki Minaj, often citing her as a major influence and inspiration in her career.

6ix9ine’s Custom Luxury Cars Auctioned Off Following Government Seizure

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

The U.S. government found buyers for two colorful cars seized from 6ix9ine to cover his IRS debt. Auctions for his 2017 Bentley Continental GT Speed and 2019 Lamborghini Urus closed on Tuesday (July 23).

U.S. General Services Administration records showed a $85,500 winning bid for 6ix9ine’s Bentley. The Lamborghini went off a much higher price at $175,043.

Auctions for 6ix9ine’s vehicles began on July 8. The Bentley received 16 bids while the Lamborghini had 30 bidders.

Both cars featured custom paint jobs. 6ix9ine added his signature paint-splattered pattern to the luxury vehicles.

The Bentley required repairs. Its new owner will have to deal with shattered side windows and significant damage to the front windshield. The car’s convertible top had several tears. The Lamborghini was in good condition with a little over 49,000 miles on it.

6ix9ine’s cars were seized in April. The government took his rides a few months after he was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend in the Dominican Republic.

Authorities apprehended 6ix9ine in January over an incident that allegedly occurred in December 2023. 6ix9ine spent a little over a week in jail before a Dominican judge granted his conditional release. He was ordered to undergo counseling and cooperate with police in their investigation.

6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was previously arrested for assault in the Dominican Republic in 2023. He allegedly attacked two producers, Cristian Anthony Rojas and Nelson Alfonso Hilario García, for spending time with his girlfriend.

The assault cases only scratched the surface of 6ix9ine’s criminal history. He pleaded guilty to the use of a child in a sexual performance in 2015. He also pleaded guilty to nine felony charges for his role in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods in 2019. 6ix9ine infamously testified against his fellow gang members in exchange for a two-year prison sentence.

Diddy Implicated In 2Pac’s Murder According To New Court Docs

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Diddy‘s legal woes continue to mount. Eight months after ex Cassie Ventura sued the Bad Boy Records mogul for sexual assault and abuse, causing a cascade of lawsuits to follow, the embattled rapper is being implicated in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.

While many have long suspected he’s been involved, Diddy has maintained his innocence. But according to the U.S. Sun, new court documents reveal Diddy is accused of paying $1 million for Shakur’s assassination by suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who was arrested for the murder last year. However, it’s still unknown if Diddy will be subpoenaed or indicted as part of the case.

In papers filed on Thursday (July 18), Diddy is named 77 times by his various pseudonyms: Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puff and his government name, Sean Combs. He’s first mentioned as prosecutors explained the “deadly rivalry” that existed between Bad Boy Records on the East Coast and Death Row Records on the West Coast, headed up by Marion “Suge” Knight, prior to Shakur’s shooting.

The docs allege that after the shooting, Davis flew to New York with a Los Angeles police task force to go undercover in an effort to gather incriminating evidence against Diddy and Eric “Zip” Martin over the murder.

“Task Force Detectives believed they had jurisdiction to investigate a Nevada homicide because Defendant asserted that the conspiracy to commit the murder began in California between Defendant, Eric ‘Zip’ Martin, and Sean Combs,” the docs read in part. “Defendant [Keefe] has asserted publicly that he only told on himself and wasn’t trying to provide evidence against anyone else in his conversations with police. However, this statement belies this claim, as he suggested that Sean Combs paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings.”

In one of the transcripts, Davis reportedly alleges he and some of the South Side Crips were “friends” with Diddy, who wanted Knight and Shakur dead. He also claims the Crips drove by Shakur and Knight in Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson fight “accidentally” and his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, shot at them both.

Police asked Davis, “Puffy Combs….Does he play a role in this thing?…” and Davis replied, “Yeah, I think he did.” Davis said Diddy told him and a group of about 45 people how he “would give anything” for Knight’s “head” because he was “scared” of him and also had a problem with Shakur after he had released a diss track about him.

In the same transcript, Davis says Diddy was discussed the night of the shooting, with Davis saying, “I knew we was like damn, we can get paid now.”

Police asked, “When you said paid, paid by Puffy, right?” to which Davis replied, “Yeah,” according to the court documents. Davis concluded, “I wish I never met Puff Daddy, period. I swear to God…He messed up my life, man. I was, I was rich, up under the radar, all that, man…it’s all gone.”

Prosecutors filed the docs in a bid to oppose Davis’ latest bail request. His $112,500 bail bond was rejected last month over concerns about the source of the money—Wack 100— and whether he and Davis are attempting to sell his life story to TV producers.

Tupac Shakur Murder Suspect Keefe D Lashes Out At Prosecutors In Court

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Duane “Keefe D” Davis condemned prosecutors in the Tupac Shakur murder case at a court hearing in Nevada on Tuesday (July 23). Davis, who awaits trial for his alleged role in Tupac’s 1996 death, claimed the prosecution was using tainted evidence from The Notorious B.I.G. murder investigation.

Prosecutors claimed they obtained new evidence proving Davis was in Las Vegas when Tupac got shot. Corey Edwards, a witness pursued by Detective Greg Kading in the Biggie investigation, claimed he saw Davis in Las Vegas on the night of Tupac’s murder in a 2006 statement to police. Davis objected to the evidence.

“Greg Kading had them boxes at his house for 15 years in his attic doing all kinds of TV interviews,” Davis said. “Them boxes should not be allowed. Them boxes should be allowed. It’s tainted evidence, everything. The man, he broke a proffer agreement and he broke the law, all kinds of stuff.”

Judge Carli Kierny told Davis the prosecution didn’t think they would use anything from the boxes in his trial. Davis was enraged. He verbally attacked prosecutors Binu Palal and Marc DiGiacomo, pointing at both men in court.

“They just used something in them boxes!” Davis said. “They just used something in them boxes! From 1996. They know that they did it. They’re not only ugly on the outside, but they’re ugly on the inside … These two dudes right here.”

Davis was back in court on Tuesday trying to convince Judge Kierny to let him post bail after she denied his release in June. Wack 100 attempted to post bail for Davis, but the judge was concerned about the source of the money.

Judge Kierny wanted to make sure the money didn’t come from Davis profiting off his alleged involvement in Tupac’s murder. Davis isn’t allowed to receive compensation for his connection to the case. His lawyer Carl Arnold argued against the restriction at Tuesday’s hearing.

“This whole order that prevents him from being able to collect money, like I said, it’s an infringement on his right of freedom of speech,” Arnold said.

Arnold filed a motion for reconsideration on July 8. Judge Kierny didn’t rule on the motion at the hearing, opting to issue a written decision after reviewing arguments.

Fabolous Defiantly Rocks Sheer Shirt Like Meek Mill Did & Social Media Similarly Trolls Him Over It

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Fabolous was treated to a roast session, similar to the one that Meek Mill pushed back on earlier this year, courtesy of social media users, following his appearance at the WNBA All-Star game.

In case you missed it, Meek shared a photo of himself posted up against an SUV wearing a designer long-sleeved, sheer, mesh shirt in May. Fans ripped him for wearing a sheer shirt, mocking him in the comment section.

Though Meek appeared unfazed by the backlash, reacting on his Instagram Stories in a post he wrote, “The propaganda don’t even want me wearing Rick lol,” he eventually deleted the photo.

While Fabolous hasn’t had to experience the sort of homophobic slights in the form of jokes and rumors Meek has dealt with following the allegations made against him in Lil Rod’s sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy, social media users were quick to react to the fit with their harsh criticism.

‘This n#### acting like a IG baddie all posing in tha mirror n s###,” one Twitter (X) user wrote in a thread featuring the video Fabolous posted of the outfit.

“Doubling up on a beater and then going with the Jamaican beater is sick,” another user remarked while yet another user simply added, “Pause.”

In another sly remark, a user referenced Fabolous’ infamous scuffle with Ray Jay, which occurred in Las Vegas in 2011, writing, “Ray J curse real,” in a blunt and brief tweet. Another user reacted to the outfit but writing, “F##k he got on.”

It’s worth noting that the “You Be Killin Em” lyricist referenced the immense natural heat in Pheonix in the initial video he shared in the fit, claiming it was “cooking” him as he spent time outdoors amid the All-Star festivities. However, that clearly wasn’t enough for social media users to give him a pass for the unconventional look.

Check out the fit Fabolous wore above.
