Donald Trump was arrested and quickly released from the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on Thursday night (August 24). The former president took a mugshot while he was in custody.
Trump and 18 co-defendants face RICO charges in Fulton County. The ex-president and his allies were indicted for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Kanye West’s former publicist Trevian Kutti were among the notable people indicted for their roles in Trump’s election scheme. Trump was hit with 13 charges, including violating the Georgia RICO Act and conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree.
The Georgia case was the fourth indictment against Trump in a matter of months. He was previously indicted in two federal cases and a case in New York.
Trump hired a new lawyer, Steve Sadow, before surrendering to authorities in Georgia. Sadow previously represented Gunna in the YSL RICO case.
“I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia, case,” Sadow told ABC News. “The President should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him. We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open-minded jury finding the President not guilty. Prosecutions intended to advance or serve the ambitions and careers of political opponents of the President have no place in our justice system.”
Trump faces 91 criminal charges across four cases. He maintains his innocence.
A 36-year-old man was arrested for allegedly stabbing Blueface at a boxing gym in the Los Angeles area. According to TMZ, Brandon Henry Snell was charged with felony assault after surrendering to authorities on Wednesday afternoon (August 23).
Blueface was stabbed while training for a boxing match on Wednesday morning. A man walked into the gym and quickly confronted the rapper, leading to an altercation between the two. Security footage showed Blueface’s attacker pulling out a knife after getting punched several times.
Authorities believe Snell was the man wielding the knife in the security footage. He was released after posting bail on Thursday (August 24).
Blueface said he did not know his assailant. He referred to the man as “some random guy” in an Instagram Stories post about the incident.
The attacker stabbed Blueface in the leg. The stabbing forced Blueface to pull out of a boxing match against internet personality Salt Papi. The two were scheduled to fight in October.
“I won’t be able to fight October 14th due to a injury won’t have enough time to heal don’t say I ducked none bro came with a dog an a knife at 10am,” Blueface wrote on Instagram.

Two police departments arrested Polo G on Wednesday (August 23). Burbank police booked the rapper on several charges after Los Angeles police busted him in a raid.
The Los Angeles Police Department raided the Columbia Records artist’s mansion in connection to a robbery, which allegedly involved his brother Trench Baby. Cops booked Polo G for possession of a short-barreled rifle. His brother was charged with robbery. Police also found a small bag of drugs on Trench Baby.
Polo G and Trench Baby were arrested again after the LAPD released them from custody. The Burbank Police Department was waiting to apprehend both men.
Burbank police arrested the brothers over an incident from April. They were charged with kidnapping, robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
Their mother Stacia Mac informed fans of their release from jail in an Instagram Stories post on Thursday (August 24). The two posted $100,000 bail.
“Polo and Tbaby have been released,” she wrote. “Thank you for your concern and prayers.”
Both men are due in court in October. Polo G’s lawyer Bradford Cohen claimed his client was illegally detained when police raided the rapper’s home on Wednesday.
Polo G is scheduled to drop a new album titled Hood Poet on September 15. He teased retirement ahead of the project’s release.
Tasha K’s bankruptcy might prevent Cardi B from collecting millions of dollars won in a lawsuit. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Tasha K proposed a $220,000 payment to satisfy her debt to the rapper after filing for bankruptcy.
“It is the purpose of this Chapter 11 to propose a feasible plan that will pay the Cardi B judgment, to the best of Debtor’s ability, consistent with the limited net income available to fund a plan, which Debtor projects to be a monthly amount of $6,500.00,” Tasha K’s attorney wrote.
Last year, a jury awarded roughly $4 million to Cardi B in her lawsuit against Tasha K. The Atlantic Records artist sued the vlogger for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, repeatedly claimed she couldn’t pay the debt. Earlier this year, she filed for bankruptcy after losing an appeal in the case.
The vlogger offered to pay $220,239.20 to Cardi B in the bankruptcy plan. Tasha K sought to make the payments over 20 quarters.
Tasha K aimed to start with quarterly payments of $4,500, totaling $18,000 over the first four quarters. The payments would increase to $12,000 over the next 12 quarters for a total of $144,000. The amount would finally jump to $15,000 per quarter — a $60,000 total for the last four quarters.
Cardi B has not responded to Tasha K’s proposed plan. The rapper previously filed a complaint, hoping to collect a $3.9 million debt from the vlogger despite the bankruptcy.
“On August 8, 2023, Cardi B filed an adversary complaint against the Debtor under section 523(a)(6) of the Code, which provides for non-dischargeability of any debt ‘for willful and malicious injury by the Debtor to another entity or to the property of another entity.’” Tasha K’s lawyer noted. “This matter is pending.”
Tasha K also owes $84,000 to the IRS and $39,452 to the Georgia Department of Revenue. Her other creditors include American Express, Bank of America and Progressive.
Flo Rida is under fire after a viral video shows him receiving a baby that was crowd-surfed to his music during a recent concert in Erie, Pennsylvania. The clip from this year’s “Celebrate Erie” festival shows that the audience didn’t lift the baby to the stage but into the artist’s arms as he was perched on top of his security detail’s shoulders.
While singing his hit song “Low,” the baby went from his arms to his hip, and then the artist shared the mic with his new co-star. The baby-inspired partying didn’t stop there. He kept the baby for some time, even when he went back to the stage. While performing with his hype man and band, he then lifted up the baby Simba-style to the sky.
“Idk if I want a whole bunch of random people touching my infant child but that’s just me,” one person tweeted, while another said, “Over my dead body would I let a group of FLO RIDA FANS carry my baby to the stage like that.”
Lil Baby may be enlisting his legal team to draft a hefty lawsuit aimed at an Instagram model who claims she ate the 4PF rapper’s groceries.
The woman in question, Teresa Lavae, began divulging the rumors that she played with Lil Baby’s ass while also speaking on her alleged sexual exploits with A$AP Rocky.
Lavae went into explicit detail about the sexual acts she purportedly performed on Wham during her appearance on the We In Miami podcast, even going as far as claiming that Lil Baby paid her $40,000 for the acts involving his dairyaire.
Lavae also claimed she and A$AP Rocky were sexually involved. She said she also engaged in foreplay in the Harlem rapper’s posterior region. While none of the claims are substantiated and are clearly questionable in validity and credibility, Lavae appeared to have direct messages from both A$AP Rocky and Lil Baby from as early 2020, when she claims the exploits began.
While there appears to be no official statement from Lil Baby or his team, reports of a 4PF spokesperson confirming a defamation lawsuit in the minimum amount of $75,000 have began circulating following Lavae’s claims. This all has to be somewhat cumbersome for Lil Baby, though, considering he beat the allegations he cheated on his ex-girlfriend and baby mama Jayda Cheaves with adult film star Miss London—who also claimed she was paid as much as $16,000 for the one-night-stand.
West Coast rapper Feezy Lebron reportedly filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday (August 23) in U.S. District Central District Court, claiming his civil rights were violated by sheriff’s deputies who threatened to kill him on December 31, 2022.
In the complaint, which lists Los Angeles County and Sheriff’s Deputy Justin Sabatine as defendants, the recording artist says he was sitting by himself in his car, according to My News LA.
As previously reported, Lebron’s lawyers filed a $10 million civil rights tort claim, which was the first step to eventually suing both parties. Lebron said he was waiting in a Gardena parking lot for his friend and playing music for his fans on Instagram when officers pulled up. The LASD deputies flashed a light in his car, while one of the officers ordered him to open the door on the driver’s side.
“One deputy opened the driver’s side door, grabbed Lebron by the arm and attempted to pull him out of his car,” a statement read. “Moments later, a second deputy walked up to Lebron, pulled out a canister of pepper spray and said ‘I’m just going to spray you.’”
Lebron said he asked Deputy Sabatine why he was being bothered, which is when the incident escalated. The officer started repeatedly threatening to shoot him “dead at point blank range.”
“Move your hands from right there and you’re done,” Sabatine is heard saying. “You take off in this car, I’m gonna shoot you. I’m gonna make it super easy on you. You put this car in drive, you’re getting one right to the chest. I don’t care what you got. I don’t care if you got b####### on you, but guess what bro, now you gotta deal with it. But if you pull some b####### you’re gonna take one to the chest.'”
Lebron’s lawsuit states he was scared for his life and is traumatized.
Lawyer Morgan Ricketts, who’s representing the rapper, said he’s calling “for Sheriff Luna to stand behind his promises, eradicate deputy gangs, and remove lawless, dangerous deputies—beginning with Sabatine and Ruiz.”
The LASD released a statement regarding the incident, saying, “While the department does not make statements related to ongoing investigations, Sheriff (Robert) Luna has made it clear that he expects department personnel to treat all members of the public with dignity and respect and that personnel who do not uphold our training standards will be held accountable.”
The ongoing legal battle involves eight defendants, with Young Thug among them. They face many charges, from conspiracy to violate the RICO Act to more severe offenses like murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery.
Seven of the defendants are currently being held at the Fulton County Jail, while one is at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center. A common thread binding them is their alleged affiliation with the Young Slime Life (YSL) criminal street gang.
As previously reported by AllHipHop.com, Young Thug has been vocal about the overwhelming police presence during his trial, fearing it’s casting a shadow of guilt over him. The Atlanta-based rapper and his legal team have been mainly concerned about the “fortress-like atmosphere” in the courtroom.
They argue the atmosphere, combined with the fact Young Thug’s family and supporters have been relegated to a separate “viewing courtroom,” might influence the jury’s perception.
The police, often seen in tactical gear and carrying heavy weaponry, have been described as having more than just a “heavy” presence. Additionally, Young Thug’s appearance in the courtroom, shackled in a leg brace, only adds to the narrative that he’s dangerous.
Despite these concerns, the court has sided mainly with the discretion of the sheriff regarding the level of police presence. Young Thug’s legal team has been persistent, arguing that the closure of the main courtroom to his supporters and the differential treatment of defense attorneys compared to prosecutors creates an inherent bias against him.
They’ve even requested a special hearing to present evidence of the overwhelming police presence and other elements contributing to an unfair trial environment.
However, the state’s stance is clear: the disruptions caused by Young Thug and the other defendants inside and outside the courtroom have necessitated the increased police presence. They argue Young Thug and his co-defendants are the primary reasons for these extraordinary security measures.
These incidents have resulted in the issuing of more than 46 additional arrest warrants for the YSL defendants and their associates. Moreover, the YSL defendants have been consistently sharing photos from inside the courtroom on their social media, further complicating the matter.
The following incidents since the trial’s commencement on January 4 highlight the need for such security:

Will Atlanta’s Lil Baby and Toronto’s Drake officially join forces for a full-length album? One of those rap stars provided an ambiguous answer to that question.
All of the speculation about a possible Lil Baby/Drake project kicked into high gear when South African record producer Black Coffee commented on the potential collaborative effort.
Lil Baby, an artist on the Quality Control Music roster, has addressed the rumors of an album with Drake. XXL asked the 28-year-old rapper about the reports of a pending musical union with the OVO Sound leader.
“Maybe so. Maybe not,” said Lil Baby in the Summer 2023 issue of the magazine. While there is no clarity on whether an album with Drake will drop in the near future, Baby did confirm he has another solo body of work on the way.
The award-winning rhymer stated, “I’m actually going to drop an album this summer and my artist, Rylo Rodriguez, will be dropping an album this summer.” Rylo Rodriguez released Been One on June 3.
Lil Baby let loose the It’s Only Me studio LP in October 2022. It’s Only Me debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart by earning 216,000 first-week units. It became Baby’s third Number One of his career.
Lil Baby also worked with fellow Atlanta native Gunna to create 2018’s Drip Harder mixtape. Back in 2018, Drake helped lift Baby into the mainstream rap scene with the “Yes Indeed” single. The Canadian’s catalog also features joint projects with Atlanta-bred acts Future and 21 Savage.
Nigerian recording artist Burna Boy used the names of Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan during a conversation about Black Americans. The Afrobeats star still has to respond to some previous comments he made about African descendants in the United States.
“Let’s use America,” answered Burna Boy earlier this year when asked about the importance of the African diaspora returning to the continent. “Why do you think Chinese Americans have their respect? They don’t go through the things that African Americans go through.”
He continued, “You know why? Because the Chinese American has a base. He actually knows where he’s from in China. Italian Americans know where their grandparents came from in Italy… Same goes for everyone else except African-Americans.”
Online Commenters Took Issue With Burna’s Remarks
Apparently, those comments from Burna Boy angered some social media users. In March, the I Told Them… album creator took to Instagram to respond to the backlash. He posted, in part, “I believe coming together as brothers and sisters is the only way forward to US Black people worldwide.”
Complex recently caught up with Burna Boy for an interview. The 32-year-old Grammy Award winner once again addressed the controversy surrounding his previous remarks about African-Americans and the African diaspora.
Burna Boy: My Mission Is Too Divine For Stupid S###
“My mission is to bring us together. My mission is to build a bridge that can’t be broken, a bridge that should’ve always been there,” said Burna. “So for me, that’s not really relevant. I don’t really look at none of that because I feel like when people say that they have their own agendas.”
The singer/songwriter also added, “There’s nothing I said that Malcolm X didn’t say. There’s nothing I said that The Honorable Louis Farrakhan didn’t say. But, obviously, it’s Burna Boy saying it and he’s from Africa… All that’s beneath me. My mission and my movements [are] too divine for stupid s### like that.”
Burna Boy’s seventh studio LP, I Told Them…, features GZA, 21 Savage, Dave, Seyi Vibez, RZA and J. Cole. The project joins a discography that also contains albums like 2018’s Outside, 2019’s African Giant, 2020’s Twice as Tall and 2022’s Love, Damini.
Yesterday (August 23), news broke that law enforcement officers raided the California home of Polo G. A lawyer representing the Chicago-bred rapper, born Taurus Bartlett, addressed the situation.
Apparently, police obtained a search warrant in connection to a robbery which allowed investigators to enter the Los Angeles residency. According to reports, the cops detained Polo G and several other individuals.
Polo G’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, issued a statement to XXL. Cohen downplayed his client’s involvement in any illegal activities. He essentially warned the authorities of forthcoming actions from the entertainer’s camp.
“The incident surrounded someone staying in Polo’s home and not Polo directly,” stated Bradford Cohen. “The officers have detained Polo to ‘verify’ that he is not a convicted felon, as they assert a firearm was found in the home. It is widely known that Polo is not a convicted felon and never was a convicted felon.”
The criminal defense specialist added, “I personally got all his charges in Miami dismissed when he was in our opinion wrongfully arrested and charged. They have refused to allow us access to our client which is also an illegal and unethical practice and someone will have to answer for these new wrongful actions.”
Previously, Miami police officers arrested Polo G in 2021. The “Rapstar” hitmaker faced battery of an officer and threatening a public servant felonies as well as other misdemeanors. Prosecutors eventually dropped all of the charges. Bartlett had to complete a Pre-Trial Intervention program.
Additionally, Polo G plans to drop his fourth studio album, Hood Poet, on September 15. The 24-year-old Columbia recording artist hinted at possibly retiring after this next body of work makes its way to DSPs next month.
Rumors have been circulating that singer/actress Halle Bailey is pregnant by her boyfriend, rapper DDG. Halle’s sister, Chloe Bailey, addressed the speculation.
“Y’all better keep my sister’s name out of your mouth. Thank you,” said Chloe Bailey in an Instagram Live video. The Beyoncé protégé continued, “Bout to get me riled the hell up.”
Fox Soul’s Claudia Jordan and Funky Dineva discussed the pregnancy rumors surrounding Halle Bailey on their show. At one point, Dineva had some negative things to say about the older Bailey sister.
“Chloe Bailey is so g###### lame to me,” Funky Dineva expressed. “First of all, girl, you are Miss Preppy Ashley from the suburbs. Then you came out being all promiscuous, and now you’re trying to be a gangster. None of it is f###### believable.”
The gossip blogger also stated, “And I’m probably gonna catch a lot of backlash for this, and without that makeup, she ain’t cute. She never should’ve shown up on that camera with that fat-ass face without no makeup.”

Fans Believe Halle Bailey Threw Shade At Funky Dineva
It appears Chloe Bailey got wind of Funky Dineva’s comments. On Wednesday night, after the Fox Soul segment went viral, the Swarm actress tweeted, “Lol, people be so mad at your happiness. Get help.”
Halle Bailey quoted her sibling’s post and added, “They need help immediately!!!!” Neither woman specifically mentioned Funky Dineva, but many social media users took their messages as clapbacks directed at the internet personality.
The Bailey sisters originally built a fanbase as the musical act Chloe x Halle. They earned four Grammy Award nominations, including a Best New Artist nod at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards in 2019.
Both Chloe Bailey and Halle Bailey also appeared as part of the Grown-ish cast. Halle went on to secure the lead role in Disney’s The Little Mermaid movie. Chloe starred in Donald Glover’s Swarm television show.
Atlanta-based recording artist/music executive Jermaine Dupri played a major role in the rise of his hometown’s music scene. He founded the So So Def Recordings label in 1993.
Jermaine Dupri will celebrate 30 years of So So Def with a two-night event in Atlanta’s Central Park. The 30th Anniversary So So Def Festival takes place on October 7 and October 8.
The event will host performances by So So Def-associated acts like Xscape, Jagged Edge, Anthony Hamilton, Da Brat, TLC, Dem Franchize Boyz and Youngbloodz. More performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def Recordings released numerous memorable albums such as Xscape’s Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha, Da Brat’s Funkdafied, Jagged Edge’s J.E. Heartbreak and Lil’ Bow Wow’s Beware of Dog.
So So Def was also the label home of the Hip-Hop duo Kris Kross. Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith and the late Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly became mainstream stars thanks to their No. 1 hit “Jump” in 1992.
Additionally, Jermaine Dupri dropped his own studio albums – 1998’s Life in 1472 and 2001’s Instructions. The record company also released Jermaine Dupri Presents… So So Def 25 compilation in 2018.
Dupri has been in the news lately for his comments about the lack of Hip-Hop 50th-anniversary celebrations in Atlanta. Earlier this month, he posted, “Just for the record! No brands have done any dinners or get-togethers in Atlanta celebrating the 50 anniversary of Hip-Hop. That’s Crazy!!!”
North London drill rapper Dsavv hopped on Instagram to livestream a standoff with prison guards.
On Thursday (August 23), a video surfaced of Dsavv taunting guards on his prison wing as he live streamed the standoff to his Instagram followers.
In the clip, Dsavv baited a rival drill crew and rapped lyrics from one of his songs. He also insulted the guards despite them surrounding him. Prison officers equipped with riot shields can be seen on all sides of the rapper as even more stream into the wing.
The video doesn’t show how the altercation gets resolved. However, it’s unlikely to have ended well for Dsavv.
Dsavv Sentenced To Over Six Years For Armed Robberies
A member of North-London-based drill collective OFB, Dsavv whose real name is Daniel Boakye, was jailed earlier this year for his role in a spate of armed robberies. In just over six months, he and three other teenagers stole £115,000 worth of cryptocurrency from victims at knifepoint.
They forced victims to hand over the passwords to their devices in order to access their cryptocurrency. Dsavv and the others would then siphon off the virtual currency into “hot wallets.”
They were arrested after detectives discovered the group used stolen bank information to order takeout to their home addresses.
In July, Dsavv was sentenced to six years and five months’ imprisonment.
Detective Constable James Green, of the Specialist Crime Command said in a statement: “In total, there were 19 robberies within the conspiracy in which 26 people were robbed. During my career as a police officer I have not come across criminals of such a cowardly nature. The group singled out innocent members of the public whilst armed with weapons in order to rob them of their mobile phones and digital currencies. They would insinuate that the victims were members of an opposing gang, whilst all knew that these were innocent members of the public.”
Nicki Minaj is hitting back against an alleged swatter who called the cops to her home, naming and shaming them on social media after taking legal action.
Last month, cops responded to a 911 caller claiming somebody had been shot at the rap superstar’s Los Angeles home. L.A. County Sheriff deputies swarmed her San Fernando Valley, leaving the “Barbie World” hitmaker reportedly furious.
However, Nicki Minaj has seemingly tracked down the alleged perpetrator and brought charges against them. She took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday (August 23) to ask “the woman who made those swatting calls to my home,” if it was worth it before calling them “Dumbo.”
While she initially kept their identity under wraps, she followed up with another post naming the alleged swatter. Directing her message to “Stephanie Bell,” Nicki Minaj warned, “A warrant is in the system.”
Minaj also praised the “Great detective work,” of the authorities, adding she is “So grateful.”
According to Nicki Minaj, “The DA filed one count for the swatting call and one for the false report to DCFS.” She concluded her post, “To God be the glory.”
Stephanie Bell
A warrant is in the system. Great detective work. So grateful. The DA filed one count for the swatting call and one for the false report to DCFS.
Although fans in the replies backed her quest for justice, anybody named Stephanie Bell was quaking in their boots. Nicki Minaj’s loyal fanbase, “The Barbz,” is known to track down her haters and exert their own social media vigilante justice, and the alleged swatter was no different.
“idc which stephanie bell it is, she knows who she is and she can’t outrun what’s coming to her,” wrote one fan. “nicki will ALWAYS get the last laugh and that’s just that on that.”
idc which stephanie bell it is, she knows who she is and she can’t outrun what’s coming to her. nicki will ALWAYS get the last laugh and that’s just that on that. pic.twitter.com/p0WdoRyhIP

Drake has volunteered his services to 50 Cent after the G-Unit founder jokingly complained that he doesn’t get treated like the Canadian superstar.
In a hilarious video shared on Instagram earlier this week, Fiddy teased his staff for not giving him the Drake treatment and complained that fans don’t toss their bras at him, unlike Champagne Papi.
“They don’t treat Drake like this,” 50 Cent began. “Drake, they throw him bras. What do I get?”
Fiddy then asked a staffer, “please go get me some Drake fans,” before teasing, “S### just don’t feel right, I need to feel special around here. I need them to treat me like I’m Drake.”
Drake caught wind of 50 Cent’s post and stepped up to help his fellow rapper. He shared the post on his Instagram Story Wednesday (August 23) alongside several crying-with-laughter emojis and a proposal.
“Fif lemme pull up for a pep talk,” Drake offered, tagging 50 Cent.
The OCO honcho has credited 50 Cent as a significant influence on his rapping style. “’21 Questions’ will probably be my most inspiring example of a guy who’s not supposed to be singing, singing,” Drake revealed in his 2019 Rap Radar interview.
50 Cent returned the compliment during an interview with Variety the following year. He branded Drake’s remarks ” the coolest s### in the world for him to say.” However, Fiddy did concede, “I can’t sing as good as he sings.”
Newly single Summer Walker does not want any potential suitors, in fact, she’s doing her best to avoid them at all costs.
The “White Tee” hitmaker recently broke up with her Power actor boyfriend Lil Meech, following rumours he was unfaithful during their relationship. Since then, Summer Walker has been partying with her friends and having fun. She recently went viral on a night out with celeb pals Sexyy Red, Sukihana and Saucy Santana. She ended up twerking upside down on a car roof following a wild night out.
However, she’s not in any rush to return to the dating scene, as shown in a hilarious new TikTok. Using the popular “How to Dress to Attract a Man” tutorial sound, Summer Walker demonstrated that she’s going to do anything but.
Rule No. 1 instructs ladies to “Make sure your hair is always long and lustrous and never put up.” However, Summer Walker quickly ditched her long wig to don a cute (albeit rule-breaking) blond afro.
The violations continued as the R&B songstress put on a country maid-style dress that wouldn’t look out of place in a period drama instead of showing a little skin as the rules directed.
In place of “dainty and delicate” footwear, Summer Walker stomped around in a pair of eye-catching pirate boots, completely flouting the guidelines.
After swamping herself in a boxy blazer rather than showing off her waist, Walker completely disregarded the rules, completing her fit with a black ski mask and a pair of flower power shades. She pulled a funny face, grimacing to the camera rather than wearing the “pleasant expression’ the rules dictated. Watch the funny TikTok below.
Plies wants to know why Donald Trump is still eligible to run for president while facing a stack of charges when your average citizen wouldn’t get a job at a fast-food restaurant if they were on bond for multiple RICO charges.
The “I Got Motion” hitmaker took to X (formerly) Twitter Wednesday (August 23) to share his thoughts.
“How U Can Be Facing 230 Years In Prison & Out On 4 Bonds. An Still Can Run For The Highest Office In The Land The President Of The United States Of America,” he asked. “But Couldn’t Get A Job At @ChickfilA If U Was Facing Them Same Charges!!”
Can Somebody Explain To Me How U Can Be Facing 230 Years In Prison & Out On 4 Bonds. An Still Can Run For The Highest Office In The Land The President Of The United States Of America. But Couldn’t Get A Job At @ChickfilA If U Was Facing Them Same Charges!!
In a follow-up post, Plies clarified his point, explaining that he’s not questioning Donald Trump running for office. Instead, he wants to know why an average person with Trump’s charges couldn’t get a job frying burgers. He also queried why everybody seemed to be okay with it.
“What I Don’t Understand Is How If U Was Facing The Same Charges U Couldn’t Get A Job At @ChickfilA Or Anywhere Else!” he added. “So How Can Anyone Be Cool With Hiring Someone Facing The Same Charges To Become The President Of The United States?”
“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices,” Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat told reporters. “It doesn’t matter your status. We have a mugshot ready for you.”
In a recent interview on V-103 Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis insisted Trump won’t get special treatment.
“If the law has been broken then we have a duty and responsibility to bring charges,” she explained. “No one is beneath the protection of the law and no one is above the law.”
Donald Trump has until noon today (August 25), to surrender himself to authorities in Fulton County.
Former president Donald Trump is expected to turn himself in to Fulton County authorities on Thursday (August 24) on multiple RICO charges stemming from the 2020 election. Leading the charge is Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who recently sat down with V-103-Atlanta for an extensive interview. During the conversation, Willis how she came to the conclusion it was her duty to bring charges against the divisive personality.
“I went to the mountains and I prayed about it and what God told me is I’m the right person at the right time to do this job,” she said. “As long as he and the voters of Fulton County think that I’m appropriate to sit here I’m going to work really hard to make them proud and do a good job.”
Willis handed down the indictment on Monday (August 14). Trump and 18 others—including Rudy Giuliani, attorneys John Eastman and Sidney Powell and former Georgia GOP Chairman David Shafer—were all named in the documents. It marks the fourth indictment of Trump, who already faces federal charges in the special counsel’s January 6 and classified documents probes, as well as the Manhattan District Attorney’s hush money case. He’s the first president in history to ever be indicted. Trump and the co-other defendants have until Friday (August 25) to voluntarily surrender to authorities.
“At this point, based on guidance received from the District Attorney’s Office and presiding judge, it is expected that all 19 defendants named in the indictment will be booked at the Rice Street Jail,” the sheriff’s office said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Willis talked about the challenges she faces as a Black woman handling such high-profile cases.
“I think we teach our children from very young ages, it’s kind of not what they call you, it’s what you answer to,” she said. “So with all of the negativity that comes my way, I truly, in the words of Jay-Z, brush my shoulders off and we just keep it pushing.”
Trump has agreed to a $200,000 bond—and as history as proven, he won’t be quiet about it either.
Lizzo’s attorney Marty Singer plans to sue three of her former dancers, who sued her for sexual harassment and a hostile work environment.
Singer claimed Arianna Davis, Noelle Rodriguez and Crystal Williams’ lawsuit was “irreparably damaged” in a statement to multiple outlets. The lawyer cited evidence of the dancers agreeing to more tour dates in April and smiling with Lizzo in photos, which were taken after the incidents detailed in their lawsuit.
“The lawsuit is a sham,” Singer said. “Lizzo intends to sue for malicious prosecution after she prevails and these specious claims are dismissed.”
Davis, Rodriguez and Williams’ attorney Neama Rahmani dismissed Singer’s description of the case. Rahmani rejected the notion of any photos disproving his client’s allegations.
“We’ve addressed all these instances where the plaintiffs appear to be happy alongside Lizzo during their time working with her,” Rahmani told Deadline. “Of course, they wanted to keep their jobs. They had bills to pay just like everyone else but they finally had enough of the abuse. We stand by every claim in the lawsuit and look forward to trial.”
Davis, Rodriguez and Williams said they were subjected to abuse, racial discrimination and weight shaming while working for Lizzo. The Atlantic Records artist denied any wrongdoing.
“Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations, but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed,” Lizzo said. “These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”
More people may join the lawsuit against Lizzo. The plaintiffs’ attorneys are reviewing additional claims of abuse and harassment brought to them by other former dancers.
