DJ Paul Snaps After He & Juicy J Are Slammed For Not Attending Gangsta Boo’s Funeral

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Gangsta Boo was laid to rest at Brown Missionary Baptist Church in Southaven, Mississippi on Saturday (January 14). GloRilla, Glitter Gloss and hundreds of others flocked to the event. But two people were noticeably absent—fellow Three 6 Mafia members DJ Paul and Juicy J. After getting criticized for not showing up, DJ Paul went on an Instagram rampage, slamming anyone who took offense.

He warmed up his audience in the caption with: “Don’t Owe None Of You Goofs The 2 Minutes It Took Me To Make This But You Betta Keep My Name To The Upmost‼️ Especially Bout My Love Ones!!!
U Complainers Just Wanted To Pour Ya Fake Love On Me! Naw Bih‼️”

DJ Paul also noted he paid for Lord Infamous, Koopsta Knicca and Snootie Wild’s funerals. He continued, “Attending A Funeral & A Church Makes Some Of You Sinners Feel You Did Something Special Don’t It…. What Did U Do For Them Before Death??? Ps: The Producers Of Boo Funeral Tried They Best To Make Her Not Have Any Mafia Ties, Good Job! Rest Up Queen!!!”

As for the accompanying video, DJ Paul was clearly heated as he insisted his lack of attendance had nothing to do with how much he loved her.

“Lemme explain something to y’all b#### ass n##### out there who got something to say about me not coming to Boo funeral,” he said. “N####, I paid for the funeral, hoe! I’m on muthafuckin’ tour and even if I wasn’t, I don’t do funerals, n####.”

“The last time I was at a funeral, it wasn’t nothing but a bunch of groupie ass muthafuckin’ n##### up in that muthafucka,” he continued. “Boo know how much I loved her, I know how much she loved me, n####. I ain’t got nothin’ to prove to none of you punk-ass, groupie-ass n##### up in there.”

DJ Paul also took credit for “discovering” Gangsta Boo when she was just a teenager. He added: “It wouldn’t be nothin’ but about four or five muthafuckas in there if it wasn’t for who I created. N####, what I created. The teenage girl I found. N####, I’m the one that wrote ‘Where Dem Dollas At’ hook, n####.

“I’m the one who was writing and producing that s###. Yeah, she did her verses, she did some hooks. Juicy [J] was doing beats, he was doing hooks. But I discovered her, n####. I went to school with her, she went to school with me.”

DJ Paul ended his commentary by defending Gangsta Boo’s casket, which many said looked cheap. He explained Boo was going to be cremated and didn’t see the need for spending money on a fancy one. Juicy J has yet to comment.

WHAT? The Chainsmokers Admit To Having Threesomes With Fans

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Pop News

The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart and Alex Pall have admitted to having threesomes with fans.

During an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the “Closer” singers recalled having multiple threesomes with fans during their career.

“I think we were both like, ‘What the f**k just happened?'” Alex said of the morning after their first escapade. “Because they were never planned, you know what I mean?”

He conceded that it was “weird” but clarified, “I don’t think we’ve ever hooked up with a diehard fan… No one wearing merch or anything.”

Alex explained that the pair would mostly have threesomes while in Europe, due to hotels on the continent not always separating beds.

“It’s been a long time,” he insisted. “And it was also the days when we used to have to share hotel rooms. In Europe, they have the two beds, they don’t even split them apart… so it’s almost by force that we were forced into these scenarios.”

Drew added, “They need to separate the beds, like America does!”

Alex has previously landed in hot water for discussing his sex life, with his then-girlfriend breaking up with him in 2016 after Billboard released a cover story on the duo in which he said, “Even before success, p**sy was number one.”

The Alchemist & Westside Gunn Speak Out Following Boldy James’ Car Accident

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

The Alchemist and Boldy James are longtime collaborators, having created numerous projects together. Last week, the Griselda signee was involved in a serious car accident that could’ve cost him his life. As word spread over the weekend, Alchemist shared an encouraging message for his creative partner.

“My bro is superhuman,” he tweeted on Sunday (January 15). “We got this.” He signed off with a prayer emoji.

As for Westside Gunn, one of the pillars of Griselda, he reacted to the news on Saturday (January 14). Of course, he had prior knowledge of the two-car collision but waited to talk about it out of respect for Boldy James and his family.

“I was waiting until the official statement to be released,” he wrote via Twitter. “Please keep my brother in y’all prayers. He’s a strong soul and fighter. He’s still talking bout GXFR x 227 forever!!! Just hearing them words broke me down, but GOD IS THE GREATEST and BO gonna be better than ever.”

Boldy James also got support from Statik Selektah, who shared: “Sending my love to @boldyjames. Quick recovery!” Open Mike Eagle added: Sending heals to Boldy James. Hoping he recovers quickly and smoothly.”

The accident involving Boldy James took place on Monday (January 9) in Detroit. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but is now on the road to recovery. A rep confirmed he’d suffered a broken vertebrae in his neck that required surgery. He was released from the ICU in stable condition.

Boldy James himself spoke out as well. On Saturday (January 14), he re-shared the official statement on his Instagram.

“Your prayers are greatly appreciated,” he captioned the post. “Thanks everyone for all your support. The calls, text messages, I seen them all. Just keep me in your prayers on this journey as I continue to heal with my family. Thank you god.”

Juice WRLD’s Former Girlfriend Released On Bond Following Meth Arrest

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Juice WRLD’s former girlfriend, Ally Lotti, was arrested in West Memphis, Arkansas on Saturday (January 14). Crittenden County Sheriff’s Office records show Lotti—real name Alicia L. Leon—was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine or cocaine with the purpose to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and theft of property. The 29-year-old Instagram model and influencer was eventually released from The Crittenden County Detention center on a $2,525 bond. Her 19-year-old boyfriend, Carter Jamison who was also arrested for theft of property, was released less than an hour after Lotti.

Juice WRLD and Ally Lotti began dating roughly one year before his December 2019 death. She was on the private plane with Juice WRLD when he suffered a seizure just as they were landing at Chicago’s Midway International Airport. Although paramedics rushed Juice WRLD to Advocate Christ Medical Center, he was pronounced dead. Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office determined he died of an accidental drug overdose “as a result of oxycodone and codeine toxicity.”

In November 2022, Lotti drunkingly denied Juice WRLD died of a drug overdose. Taking to Instagram Live, she blurted out: “Y’all mad ’cause literally I’m like, ‘Oh, blah blah blah you guys think he died from an overdose.’ You’re wrong! you’re wrong! Literally, you’re wrong so suck a dick. OK? Suck a dick.”

Lotti failed to provide any actual evidence as to why she refutes the Medical Examiner’s findings. As for Juice WRLD’s mother, Carmella Wallace, she’s remained devoted to running Live Free 999. Wallace founded the non-profit in Juice WRLD’s memory shortly after his death. Find more information here and read a statement from Lotti’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, below.

Is “The Devil” After Jaguar Wright?

Help me out with some things.

I am here looking at Jaguar Wright on the ground writhing under some police officers. She was arrested live on camera.

https://youtu.be/5Wvwmb9I_YM

What do you think of that? Anyway, I think it’s a serious conversation that we need to dig into. First of all, she has been talking about everybody for years. She’s clearly and allegedly got some major mental issues. But how crazy is she?

First of all, she is back. So, let’s get that clear.

Wright does not blame JAY-Z, Diddy, Beyoncé and all the so-called dark forces out there in entertainment. She blames bloggers. OK! She also says they are trying to drive her and her spouse crazy. Jag is now 45 years old. I am not sure what she is on or up to, but she’s working it out, I suppose. Nobody else is talking about this, but the comments are lit. By the way, some people are blaming her spouse for the whole mess. It is January 15 and here we are. 

Good lord. Help us.

This video is distressing.

EXCLUSIVE: J.J. Fad Reveals Sassy C Suffered Massive House Fire, Two Dogs Perish

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

J.J. Fad rapper Michelle “Sassy C” Franklin has been dealt a massive blow. On Friday (January 13), Sassy C’s home in Aberdeen, Maryland was decimated in a house fire, resulting in the loss of two of her daughter’s dogs. Speaking to AllHipHop, fellow J.J. Fad founder Juana “MC JB” Sperling said: “They don’t know how it started. The only one home was her mother-in-law. She heard crackling and saw flames. She got out OK, but they lost two of the family dogs.”

Ruthless Records’ first ladies posted a photo of the blaze to the group’s official Instagram account on Saturday (January 14) and are asking for help. As the caption explains: “Friends, Family and amazing Fans. Please help our sister Sassy C. We are devastated by the loss of her home last night in a fire. Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated!” The post included a link to a GoFundMe, with the goal set at $10,000.

According to a local CBS News affiliate, fire crews with numerous volunteers responded to the two-alarm house fire. Crews operated in defensive mode and the Maryland State Fire Marshal was requested at the scene. MC JB and Dana “Baby D” Birks, who were supposed to perform alongside Sassy C and Arabian Prince in San Bernardino, California this weekend, got a jarring message.

“We got a text from Sassy C in all caps saying: ‘Guys, I will not be there my HOUSE LITERALLY BURNED DOWN,” JB said. “At first, I thought it was some kind of figure of speech. But, then I tried to call and she didn’t answer. That’s when I knew it was real and serious. Later that evening, she had a friend call for her and explain what happened. She was too shaken up to talk.”

JB added: “She is devastated about the loss of her daughter’s dogs, J.J. Fad memorabilia and all of our show clothing. But, she is thankful that her family is all alive and well.”

As Sassy C begins the daunting process of picking up the pieces, fans interested in donating can do so here. In the meantime, local authorities are investigating the fire to determine what started it.

EXCLUSIVE: Kanye West Lawyers Ask Permission To Use Newspaper Ads To Dump Him As A Client

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

Kanye West is still a missing man—kind of. Lawyers for the elusive rapper/entrepreneur are still on a quest to serve him some court docs but have been unsuccessful. According to paperwork obtained by AllHipHop, the Greenberg Traurig Law Firm now wants to take out ads in two Los Angeles newspapers to finally rid themselves of Ye as a client. They refer to the move as “multi-prong approach.”

“Publication of the Withdrawal Order’s contents in two Los Angeles-area newspapers, where Ye appears to reside, will also apprise him of the Withdrawal Order,” the docs read. “Given Ye’s public status, publication of the Withdrawal Order will likely garner significant media attention, resulting in broader publication and provide an even greater likelihood of apprising Ye of the Order.”

Greenberg Traurig was representing Kanye West in his legal battle against Ultra International Music Publishing. But in December 2022, the New York City-based law firm asked for an extension to serve West after dropping him as a client. The attorneys needed to serve Ye before moving on from a copyright infringement lawsuit against him. Judge Analisa Torres granted Greenberg Traurig’s motion to withdraw as West’s counsel on November 30, 2022. Torres also instructed the law firm to personally serve their ex-client with a court order by December 14, 2022, which is when the trouble began.

Meanwhile, Kanye West was allegedly ducking his ex-business manager, too. After Thomas St. John claimed he couldn’t locate him, the rumors ran rampant on West’s whereabouts. Turns out, he was canoodling with Yeezy employee Bianca Censori who he reportedly married in recent weeks. The couple neglected to get a marriage license from the State of California, therefore the union isn’t legal. But nonetheless, they had a private ceremony to confirm their commitment to each other. The “marriage” comes roughly two months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian became final.

Boldy James Involved In “Serious” Car Accident, Suffers Broken Vertebrae

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Boldy James, prolific Griselda Records rapper, was reportedly involved in a car accident that required a trip to a hospital. The incident took place on Monday (January 9) in Detroit, Michigan. According to a statement obtained by Rolling Stone, James arrived in critical condition following the two-car collision.

“Boldy James arrived at the hospital in critical condition, suffering from broken vertebrae in his neck and orthopedic injuries,” a rep said. “After undergoing extensive surgery on his neck, Boldy has been removed from the intensive care unit and is now in stable condition.

“Boldy and his family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses that are taking care of him, and also to the communities’ emergency medical personnel and first responders.”

Boldy James seems to be in good spirits since the accident. On Friday (January 13), he shared an Instagram post that found him looking forward to the future.

“Griselda 2023 is our year gang,” the caption read. “#227ConCreatures @westsidegunn @romestreetz @godcooks #rapradarpodcast #miaminight.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CnX7UKZjv4n/?hl=en

Boldy James released his first album, My 1st Chemistry Set, via Mass Appeal Records in 2013. With production from The Alchemist, the album quickly put him on the map. He officially signed with Mass Appeal a year later. In 2020, Boldy James dropped his first project under the Griselda Records umbrella, The Versace Tape. It marked his third release that year, following The Price of Tea in China and Manger on McNichols. Last year, he popped on multiple singles including Curren$y’s “No Yeast.”

Ray J Slams Tyrese In Defense Of Eddie Murphy’s Will Smith Joke At Golden Globes

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Ray J is coming to the defense of Eddie Murphy. The legendary comedian became a trending Twitter topic on Tuesday (January 10) after his appearance at the 80th Golden Globes. As Murphy was accepting the Cecil B. Demille Award, he made a joke about the infamous Will Smith Oscar slap.

“I want to let you know there’s a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity and peace of mind,” he said. It’s very simple. There’s three things: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your f###### mouth!”

Tyrese evidently had a problem with Eddie Murphy’s joke and condemned him for continuing to bring up the March 2022 incident. As he explained on Instagram: “I’m still team WILL SMITH there’s nobody on this earth that will ever influence me to ever have a change of heart towards the BIGGEST INFLUENCE in my life…….I’m just saying man…. Move on already.”

Ray J angrily fired back: “Tyrese better mind his own biz! You not on Eddie level!!! To think you can tell Axel Foley or Hakeem the Prince of Zamunda to ‘move on already??’ He’s #1 in his acting campaign still to this day! REAL LEGEND! You BETTER show some respect Tyrese! Before Will slap you back into your reality! Yeah i said it! You know how I feel about you and your antics! Don’t play with my mentors!! It wont end well!!”

The Oscar ceremony became one of the most talked about topics in 2022 after Will Smith smacked Chris Rock in the middle of his monologue. Rock had just made a G.I. Jane joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett. Although he initially laughed along with the crowd, Pinkett wasn’t amused. Smith took it upon himself to march onstage and hit Rock. After returning to his seat, he shouted: “Keep my wife’s name out your f###### mouth!” Consequently, Smith was banned from an Academy-related events for 10 years.

Gangsta Boo’s Love Said He Found Out About Her Passing On Instagram

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Gangsta Boo’s life partner says living without her these last few weeks have been hard.

In an interview with ABC 24 News, he talked about some of the things they used to do as a couple. One thing he said they did together was pray underneath the moon.

Emmet Flores said, “We would pray together under the moon … a lot of stuff surrounding love and light … and just pray for the well-being of one another. You know figure, if you’re praying with love, then you know what could be wrong? Right?”

Flores shared that Boo, whose real name was Lola Chantrelle Mitchell, was extremely funny.

“Man, she was just really [funny]. She was so funny, dude,” he said.  “She’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met in my life. We used to have like dances. It’s crazy, man. I just can’t believe I’m here man.”

He shared how he was supposed to pick her up on Tuesday, Jan 3.  However, her death on New Year’s Day interrupted those plans.

“I was just talking to her the night before. She performed with eight ball MJG and I told her I loved her,” Flores recalled. “I told her be safe. She sent me a picture of us on New Year’s from 2017 and I sent a picture back.”

One of the most shocking revelations was how he found out about her death.

“I was watching football the next day and someone hit me up on Instagram [to tell him of her passing].” He said.

Gangsta Boo will be laid to rest on Saturday, Jan. 14 at Brown Missionary Baptist Church in Southaven at 12 p.m.

Bun B Says JAY-Z Had The First Million Dollar Video … But Was He Right?

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Southern rap legend and historian Bun B says JAY-Z was the first Hip-Hop artist to break the seven-figure bankroll to make a video.

While interviewing on The Residency Podcast, the UGK rapper said Hove was the first rapper to have a visual for a single, which back then really drove the hit record, which was over $1 million. It was for the song, “Big Pimpin.”

He said while rap videos had maxed over $1 million before— The 1996 Fugees’ $1.3 million “Ready or Not” comes to mind— he said the 1999 single that he and Pimp C hopped on and made an instant classic was the very first to get the big check from the gate.

“This was the first million-dollar budgeted rap video ever,” The Trill Burger founder said. “Now, rap videos had budgets that went over that [and] ended up costing a million dollars but blocked one million dollars just for this music video.”

Adding,  “I had never seen anything like it. It was the first rap video I think on ‘Making a Video’ on MTV. It accelerated so quickly, and then within I wanna say three months it was the number one record on the planet.”

“Big Pimpin” was a huge marketing bill but was not before and definitely did not cost more than Diddy’s “Victory” single. That video cost approximately  $2,500,000, which with the factor in the inflation rate of 2.39% per year for the 26 years between 1997 and today, would be about  $4.6 million.

Westside Gunn Cancels European Tour Last Minute—Fans Won’t Get Refunds

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Westside Gunn canceled his European tour just hours before it was to begin in Amsterdam. According to an Instagram post from the Griselda rapper, fans won’t be getting a refund either.

“It was nothing more I wanted to do than to start seeing my supporters around the world,” he wrote via Instagram on Friday (January 13). “It’s def still a dream and I’m gonna work on it […] but unfortunately this time things weren’t handled right and that’s too far for me to be gone.”

He continued: “Something isn’t right and I’m somewhere I’ve never been and s### already not right now. I haven’t even been giving deposits so don’t even think I took y’all money. People out of $40 I’m out $50,000 I spent just on plane tickets!!!”

Westside Gunn promised to “make it up” to anyone who did purchase a ticket but didn’t specify when. He then deleted the post.

Brooklyn Vegan reached out to The Sugar Club in Dublin and asked how ticket holders could get their money back. Their spokesperson replied: “We’re currently awaiting an official update from Westside Gunn’s agent on the status of the tour, but we will of course process refunds for all tickets purchased as soon as we have more information. We hope to resolve this by the end of the day.”

Westside Gunn was ecstatic last month when he initially announced the tour. The 12-date run was expected to make stops in Paris, Vienna, Milan before wrapping up in Lisbon on February 10. He wrote on Instagram at the time: “10 yrs in the making. It’s time for me to see my supporters from all over the world. Y’all supported me for so long, it’s time I come give y’all FLYGOD LIVE!!!! We’ll all be family that night. I promise u you don’t wanna miss this.”

Westside Gunn’s most recent album, 10, arrived last year. It serves as the final installment of the Hitler Wears Hermes series. Check out the “Mac Don’t Stop & Nigos Louis” video below.

Romeo Miller Responds To Rumors He Beefed With Master P For Publicity

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

The family feud involving Percy “Master P” Miller and his son Romeo Miller played out in front of the world. Part of that bad blood stemmed from Romeo claiming his father misled him about a deal with the Rap Snacks brand.

“This year I will get my first Rap Snacks check and finally start receiving my earnings from my bags,” wrote Romeo Miller in December. “I was told as a kid that we owned Rap Snacks, and that my payday would come after [I] put in work and sold [the] company, silly me!”

The 33-year-old entertainer continued, “I promoted a company for free for 15+ years based on the word of my pops, without being allowed to see any contracts or even meet with the team, and I stayed loyal… but I’m entitled and ungrateful now?”

Master P & Romeo Miller Called A Truce

The Millers were able to publicly reconcile. However, there were still questions about the feuding family members. Romeo Miller recently attended the Rap Snacks Disrupt 2023 Conference, and he addressed rumors that the entire ordeal with Master P was a publicity stunt for the Growing Up Hip Hop reality series.

“Funny thing is, I shot that before all of that. So people were saying this is for publicity. Nah, my thing is this is just about life. If you’re gonna be a celebrity, if you’re gonna be a public figure, you’re gonna have to have some things bleed out, deal with it, and try to use it as an example for others to learn from you,” Romeo Miller told Baller Alert.

He added, “It’s all about communication. That’s all. No family is perfect… but if you are in the public eye, if you are a celebrity, the things you wanna show are gonna come out, and the things you don’t wanna show. You gotta be strong enough to know who you are, what you stand for, to deal with the ridicule and misunderstanding that’s gonna come with it.”

03 Greedo Out On Parole After Receiving 20-Year Prison Sentence

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Los Angeles rapper 03 Greedo was released from a Texas prison on Thursday (January 12).

03 Greedo, whose real name is Jason Jamal Jackson, was paroled after being sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2018. He was charged with possession of more than 400 grams of methamphetamine and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon in 2016.

According to the Washington Post, the circumstances of 03 Greedo’s arrest were suspicious. He refuted the reasoning for the traffic stop, which occurred because his car allegedly lingered in a left-hand lane.

Officers claimed they smelled marijuana, prompting a search of the vehicle. They found no weed but discovered drugs in the trunk.

03 Greedo’s first two lawyers allegedly didn’t put up much of a fight to help their client. The Alamo Records artist was led to believe he needed to accept a 20-year plea bargain to avoid harsher punishment.

“It’s unconscionable that any lawyer wouldn’t pursue all avenues prior to agreeing to a deal,” his third attorney Morris Overstreet told the Washington Post in 2020. “Even if he had been convicted of the crime, you have to give your client a chance to win on appeal by filing a motion saying that the stop wasn’t lawful in the first place. We’re arguing that the other counsel’s performance fell below an objective standard and that the results would have been different had those standards been met.”

03 Greedo got out of prison a few days after dropping his Free 03 project with Mike Free. The 14-track release features OhGeesy, KenTheMan, BlueBucksClan and the late Drakeo the Ruler.

Does Jazz Legend Bob James Owe Hip-Hop An Apology? Some People Think So

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Rumors

Jazz legend Bob James’ 1974 single “Nautilus” has been sampled numerous times over the years by a small army of Hip-Hop artists. From Slick Rick and Eric B. & Rakim to Run-DMC and EPMD, MCs loved flowing over his smooth jazz. But James hasn’t always been impressed. In 2015, James sued Madlib and Stones Throw Records over copyright claims. He claimed they illegally took samples from “Nautilus” for “Sparkdala.”

“From my standpoint, I had to take a stand about it,” James said at the time. “The copyright and the maintaining of the ownership of copyright, are the most valuable and important things that we have in this business. And the control over the usage of it. To have someone attempt to take that out from under you is a very big deal. And it’s a bigger deal from the standpoint of the record companies than the artist.”

On January 11, longtime music exec Dante Ross said it was about time James did some graveling, especially to Hieroglyphics, who sampled “Nautilus” in the song “Cab Fare.” As he explained in a tweet: “Bob James owes Hiero an apology. He ain’t fooling nobody, he was anti-sampling , anti-hip hop, anti-culture for a long time. Now that its proven to be profitable he’s acting like he been down. FOH.”

https://twitter.com/DanteRoss/status/1613098094916415490?s=20&t=GRh5qAWfa_BEPf9S2Lxc6w

Is Ross right? Did Hip-Hop only become “cool” when it became a multi-billion dollar business? James seemed to have a problem with Hip-Hop artists sampling his music since day one. He even got into it with DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince over his song “Westchester Lady” for their Grammy-winning album, He’s The DJ, I’m The Rapper. But in an August 2022 interview, James explained he and Jazzy Jeff had made peace. They even worked on a project together.

“I contacted Jazzy Jeff after many years, and we were not enemies anyway,” he said. “We had a kind of a reunion having resolved our conflict with the original ‘Westchester Lady’ sample. And now he and I have collaborated on something new and looks like it’s going to come out on my new album.”

To people like Ross, it’s too little, too late—even if Bob James is working with Ghostface Killah.

Young Thug Trial: Investigation Begins After Weed Is Found In Shoes

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Judge Ural Glanville, who’s presiding over Young Thug’s RICO case, announced an investigation into a YSL defendant obtaining contraband while awaiting trial.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Jozsef Papp, Judge Glanville said one of the YSL defendants received clothing with marijuana in the shoes. Jury selection is currently underway for the RICO trial against Young Thug and 13 co-defendants.

Jury selection will head into its third week after 20 hardships were granted on Friday (January 13). Potential jurors are expected to return on Tuesday (January 17) since the court is closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 16).

Prosecutors claim YSL is a criminal street gang responsible for murders, robberies, gun violence, drug trafficking and more. Authorities have painted Young Thug as the mastermind behind the gang.

Young Thug was one of 28 people named in the YSL RICO indictment. Eight men accepted plea deals instead of facing trial.

Gunna, Lil Duke, Slimelife Shawty and Young Thug’s brother Unfoonk were among the notable names to take plea deals. Several defendants had their cases severed from Young Thug’s because they don’t have lawyers or still haven’t been apprehended.

Young Thug’s trial is expected to last six to nine months. He has remained in jail since his arrest in May 2022.

It Looks Like Kanye West Is Rebounding Hard

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Rumors

Kanye West is married? Again? And not to Kim Kardashian but to a Yeezy employee? Well, guess he never got the HR memo about inner office romances. Not that it matters. And not that I even care. But everybody is talking about it, so here we are. On Friday (January 13), it was revealed the blonde “mystery woman” Kanye West has been canoodling around Los Angeles with is Bianca Censori, an Aussie who worked as an architectural designer at Yeezy for several years. Just days earlier, West was photographed wearing a wedding ring as he pulled up to The Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills. Apparently, he and Censori got hitched—but failed to file a marriage license with State of the California, so it’s definitely not legal.

But even so, this seems like another cry for help. Or, at the very least, an indication that dude is lonely and having a really hard time moving on. Kanye West appears to be incapable of being single, and maybe he should be. Before the ink was dry on his divorce papers, he linked up with that weird lady with bad eye makeup, Julia Fox, for whatever the f### that was, then he started kicking it with that Instagram model Chaney Jones—or wait, was that before Fox? Who cares. Point is, Kanye West doesn’t seem to do well on his own. Is this another rebound romance or the real deal? We’re betting on the former.
