Marilyn Mosby Blocks Release Of Freddie Gray’s Autopsy

Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby has filed a motion to block the release of Freddie Gray’s autopsy while prosecuting the six police officers involved in his death, the Baltimore Sun reports.

Mosby does not want to release the autopsy results or other “sensitive” documents because she said she has “a duty to ensure a fair and impartial process for all parties involved” and “will not be baited into litigating this case through the media.”

Attorney Ivan Bates, who is representing Sgt. Alicia White, argues that Mosby is trying to hide something in the autopsy report in efforts to make sure his client “does not get a fair trial.”

“Mrs. Mosby is the one who did an announcement discussing what she said the evidence was in a nationally televised speech,” said Bates, who represents . “Now that it is time to turn over the evidence, to ask for a protective order is beyond disingenuous.”

Mosby is also seeking a gag order to prevent those involved from discussing the case in public.

In her lawsuit, Redden alleges that after Knight charged at her shouting expletives after he spotted her filming him outside of a Beverly Hills studio, he and Williams later approached her with a female, who is believed to be Williams’ girlfriend, who allegedly pushed her to the ground and took her camera.

Redden is suing Knight and Williams for assault. She also filed a defamation suit against Williams because he told TMZ that she “engaged inappropriately with a child” and she is suing him for taking her camera.

This is the second lawsuit filed against Knight this week. The family of Terry Carter, who Knight ran over with his SUV earlier this year, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against him.

A young lady by the name of Alexandria @Lexxnatasha claims she ran into Kanye West at a recording studio, and he told her that him and Kim Kardashian were naming their new baby Donda? This could be true since Kanye’s mom’s name is Donda. Kanye doesn’t seem like the type to share that type of information with just anyone. He has to make his announcements into events. Judging by the video we aren’t too sure she’s credible. What are your thoughts? What name could follow North West?

Chris Brown Is Forcing His Way Back Into Karrueche’s Life?

Is Chris Brown forcing his way back into Karrueche’s life? Karrueche better not backpedal ever. It looks like Chris Brown forced his way inside her car though. Apparently, Chris Brown bought a table near Karrueche, and this started an argument that led to Karrueche leaving. Breezy wasn’t having it, as he forced his way into her Uber, telling her friend “move before I make you move.” Clearly, Breezy is not over Karrueche.

Louis Farrakhan Talks Organizing Second Million Man March & President Obama Calling Baltimore Protesters “Thugs” (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Power 105’s The Breakfast Club recently sat down with Minster Louis Farrakhan. The Nation of Islam leader spoke about a bevy of topics with DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God.

Min. Farrakhan spoke about his decision to follow Malcolm X, American minorities’ struggle against oppression, combating high crime rates in the Black community, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Iran-Contra scandal/crack cocaine epidemic, vaccinations, Hip Hop culture, returning to Washington DC for another Million Man March, and President Barack Obama’s response to the Baltimore Uprising.

On organizing a second Million Man March, Farrakhan said:

Today, we are at that point in our development where we are being forced now to consider which is the way forward. Singing in, wading in, crying in, praying in has not worked. Marches have not worked. The oppression and the tyranny is getting worse, so we decided on the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March to return to the capital. First time we went, it was on atonement, reconciliation, responsibility, We wanted Black men to accept the responsibility of being a man and standing up for our women and our children. And creating that sense of strong family again.

But this time – well I’ll put it like this. Elijah Muhammad said to me one day, “One day I’m going to call a march. and that march will be for justice. He said it won’t be like the march in ‘ 63 where people where laughing, frolicking, and having a good time. When you say you’re going for justice and jobs, that’s no time to party. That’s a time to be serious, because the cry for justice against the forces of who uphold injustice – you got to have a mind now. What are you going to do to move the forces of injustice, if they won’t bow to the truth that should bring justice?

The first Million Man March took place on October 16, 1995. The event was held on the west front grounds of the United States Capitol building. Farrakhan, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Reverend Benjamin Chavis, Martin Luther King III, and poet Maya Angelou were among the speakers.

The upcoming return to DC comes in the wake of a year worth of new stories covering numerous unarmed African-American men being killed by police officers. The death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Maryland sparked peaceful protests, clashes with the police, looting, and property damage.

Farrakhan directly addressed President Obama calling some of the citizens of Baltimore “thugs.” The minister stated:

We helped our brother get in office, and we were so excited and proud to have our first Black president. But then when our brothers in Baltimore – that’s a city where Black folks have been catching hell for a long time. When they rise up, our president refers to them as thugs and criminals.

I want to say to brother Barack. When the highest office in the land can look at our children and call them thugs and criminals, unwittingly he’s sentencing them to death by the forces that deal with thugs and criminals. They are not thugs. They are not criminals.

Secondly if u forgot to take phone make sure she sleep then find her phone (usually by side of bed) i would take it put it under the bed so i KNOW im good and could sleep peacefully. Yall be too comfy w/ brauds yall dont know! I give credit to the ladies because most of us are just that rich and STUPID so yall know how to get us. I been caught up too before not knowing being a rookie but next time.. Leave no evidence. Sometimes i would sleep somewhere else leave them all by themselves but id be watching them from my security cam. Fellas be smart we know the p*ssy is the most powerful thing but dont let it hypnotize you. Ladies when yall do stuff like this, it ruins it for you because we NEVER calling you again.

British Rapper Skepta Talks Working With Drake & Earl Sweatshirt For His “Konnichiwa” Album

(AllHipHop News) American audiences may not be as familiar with English grime artist Joseph “Skepta” Adenuga as music fans from across the pond, but Hip Hop stars from the States are well aware of the 32-year-old North London native.

[ALSO READ: Kanye West Releases “First Official” Video For “All Day”]

Skepta a got a huge shout-out from Kanye West at the BRIT Awards in February. The GOOD Music boss debuted his single “All Day” at the ceremony, and Ye hand-picked Skepta to gather 30 people to join him during the fire cannon filled televised performance.

Besides Mr. West, Skepta has also made fans out of OVO leader Drake and Odd Future affiliate Earl Sweatshirt. A new cover story with Fader reveals Skepta set up studio time with both North American rappers.

But the question was asked if Skepta’s collaborations with Drizzy and Earl will cause him to bend to their respective musical styles. Or does the emcee/producer expect for the two performers to fall into the sound being established for his upcoming Konnichiwa album?

“I put P Diddy on a f*cking grime tune. I don’t care what they feel about it. They have to come on my wave – that’s the only thing that’s going to give my album what it needs,” said Skepta. “I understand the objective now, and I ain’t going to f*cking America to shoot a video. They need to come to the roads with me.”

Skepta is serious about creating a project that reflects his experiences, his lifestyle, and his city. The Nigerian descendant recognized the contrasts between the atmosphere of London versus the glamorous vibe of Hollywood.

“England is so black and white, so plain, like a burger with nothing on it. No salad, nothing. That’s why it’s so real,” Skepta added.

He continued, “I want anybody from around the world to be able to listen to the album and know it comes from London – from the beats, not just the vocals.”
