The two have been longtime friends and Ross appeared in his visuals for “Touch the Sky” and “Kanye’s Workout Plan.”

The two Brooklyn spitters along with 13 other members of their GS9 crew were charged with over 100 charges including attempted murder, conspiracy, assault and drugs and weapons charges.

Oh my! Chamillionaire recently stopped by the Madd Hatta Morning Show and revealed how he almost was going to swing on Michael Jordan for being rude to him at a charity event. Chamillionaire stated that he wanted a picture with Jordan after he bought one of his jerseys in a charity auction. Things went left when Jordan allegedly told Chamillionaire that he wasn’t taking any pictures with any n***as.

“At a time when we are still mourning the death of a loved one that he shot down in the street, Mr. Bates will be relaxing and enjoying his wealth and privilege,” the family said in a statement released Tuesday.
The 73-year-old was charged after a video surfaced on him shooting Harris and then apologizing. During a sting operation, Harris was caught selling guns and took off on foot once he realized what was happening. He was then pinned down by Bates, but after the accidental shooting, two other officers ignored Harris when he said he was losing his breath and told him “F–k your breath!”
