Young Thug & Birdman Accused Of Conspiring To Kill Lil Wayne

According to Atlanta’s WSBTV, court documents claim Birdman conspired with Young Thug to try and kill Wayne. A Cobb County indictment filed in June states Thug and Birdman were involved in a RICO conspiracy to have Wayne’s tour bus shot.

The incident allegedly stems from Wayne’s attempt to leave Cash Money for lack of payments. Thug apparently threatened Wayne, and the “Stoner” rhymer’s road manager Jimmy Winfrey (aka PeeWee Roscoe) carried out that threat. According to the indictment, Winfrey was driving the vehicle involved in the shooting.

“After Atlanta Police discontinued their escort, [Winfrey] and fellow Blood Gang members entered Interstate 285 from Atlanta Road in Cobb County in pursuit of the buses occupied by [Lil Wayne’s] group,” the indictment reads. “[That’s when] the white sports car pulled beside the buses, shots were then fired into the buses from the sports car with a .40 caliber handgun and a 9mm handgun.”

Winfrey was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats and acts, criminal damage, possession of a firearm by a felon, criminal gang activity, reckless conduct and discharging a weapon near the street. His next court date is scheduled for Friday, July 17.

Thug and Birdman have not been charged in the tour bus shooting.

Can Ciara Really Sing?

People have wondered can Ciara sing since she hit the scene with her hit “Goodies.” If you ask most people this question, the answer would be h*ll NO! To be honest, we don’t want to hear Ciara sing; we just want to see her dance. The singer was also ridiculed for her Black Girls Rock performance as memes floated around asking what song required that much emotion from Ciara. Recently CiCi has been picked on online for singing the National Anthem. Although it wasn’t terrible. It wasn’t great. It was still more than we thought she had. It seems like the real struggle was with those terrible back up singers. In your opinion can Ciara sing?

RROSE RROME – “Soundtrack”

Adversity has been that fire that has forged the life as well as the career of BK’s own RRose RRome, from everything such as nationwide felony court cases to the passing of his 11 month old daughters’ mother (10 months ago). Despite all of these trials. he never lost traction; in fact, RRome has triumphed through his music. His means now justify his ends more than ever as he demonstrates with an eerily dope Game/Meek Mill sample on “Soundtrack”.

NJ Police Investigating Fetty Wap in Connection to ShopRite Cashier Assault

Photo Credit: Instagram

(AllHipHop News) Last Friday (July 10), a Paramus, NJ ShopRite cashier alleges that he was initially slapped by a female customer  before her male companions proceeded to assault him inside of the establishment, reports TMZ. The young man whose identity has yet to be released, spoke with police and conveyed his thoughts that Fetty Wap may have been one of the assailants, but he conceded that he is not convinced that the “My Way” rapper actually participated in the attack.

Even though the victim has declined to press charges for the minor injures that he sustained, if the cops identify Fetty Wap as a suspect the “Trap Queen” aficionado could still be arrested. Check out the video; is there any reason for Fetty to fret?

Did “Mom Breezy”, aka Chris Brown’s mom Joyce Hawkins, post a cryptic message on her Twitter account about Chris Brown’s recent home invasion? It seems like it. Chris Brown was recently a victim of a home invasion where the intruders turned the house upside down and held his aunt at gunpoint. Brown’s mom tweeted,

“Watch who you standing beside.”

Is “Mom Breezy” saying Chris was possibly set up by someone he knows? After all, a lot of break ins are done by acquaintances.

‘Ant-Man’ Is A Comic/Action Hit

When I think about my comic book experiences growing up, if I was collecting my comic book for the week, the only way I knew about Ant-Man was from The Mighty Avengers comic book. knowing that his Pym Particles made him grow and shrink were, next to The Vision or Ironman, was more lack luster of a hero you aspire to as a kid.

Marvel went out on a limb doing a movie with the The Guardians Of The Galaxy but, the action/comedic approach worked like a charm. Last night, I saw a screening of Ant-Man. Let’s all be real, approaching this in a comedic way was the best approach. Using Michael Douglas, an establish and great actor as Dr. Pym the retired Ant-Man, another great decision. The comedy really shined when Paul Rudd delivered a great performance as the modern day Ant-Man, giving the Ant-Man story line a fresh new take with his background of a cat burglar really worked.. A huge bonus was the delivery of Michael Peña, Tip “T.I.” Harris. T.I. really can act, and showed his comedic skill in this movie.

It would be hard to carry a superhero title with all comedy. Seeing clips of the “original” Ant-Man fighting covert wars in the 80’s, I started sitting at up in my seat. And when Ant-Man fought an Avenger (I’m trying to limit my spoilers), I thought that might have been the best action in the movie! Of course, the movie has a true antagonist, Corey Stoll played the Yellow Jacket villain predictably but, the action sequences were phenomenal. Ant-Man truly brought you into a “micro world” that Marvel immersed you into and, experiencing this in 3D is truly the best way to watch this movie.

For fans of Marvel, superhero, action and comedy films, you will like this movie. It’s a solid flick from Marvel and won’t disappoint you. Perfect for the family and, Marvel keeps its every growing storyline continuing with the bonus footage past both the credits rolls, so make sure you watch the entire movie.

Ant-Man will be in theaters on July 17th.

Love & Hip Hop’s Nikko Is Getting Evicted?

Rumor has it that Love & Hip Hop’s Nikko is getting evicted from his Atlanta apartment. We guess those VH1 and sex tape checks stopped coming in. As many of you know, rent in Atlanta is actually dirt cheap in comparison to other markets. Could this be karma? All we can think about is the time K. Michelle ridiculed Nikko for having a roommate in Atlanta, as she said rent is only $1000 a month and he splits that.
