After a jury found in October this year that the cover art did not otherwise use Brophy’s likeness or portray him in a negative light, Brophy filed a request to overturn the verdict.
US District Judge Cormac J Carney ruled against overturning the earlier jury’s verdict, arguing that the filing was too late and lacked merit. The judge subsequently ordered Brophy to pay the rapper’s attorney fees.
In a ruling, the judge argued that “reasons abound to sustain the jury’s verdict of not liable on all claims” – including that, on the cover, “the model appears non-white with black hair while Brophy is white and has a shaved head.”
“The jury had an ample basis for its verdict. For example, the jury could have reasonably concluded that the back tattoo on the model on the mixtape cover at issue in this suit was not sufficiently identifiable with Brophy to constitute misappropriation of his likeness or depiction in a false light,” the judge summarized. “Because the model’s face is not visible, identification based on facial appearance is impossible.”
A mural of the late rapper Pop Smoke has been vandalized.
Located in the chart-topper’s hometown of Brooklyn,on the side of a papi/ahki shop at 8125 Flatlands Ave, the blue-sky wall with Pop Smoke’s smiling face at the end was defaced not just with graffiti— but a vile message.
The soulless hoodlum wrote “Woo K” in black spray paint across the sky and cloud portion of the piece.
The term is disturbing enough. The Woo, according to Respect my Region, is a Brooklyn gang blended of Blood and Crip members.
But for some, “K” means “killer,” making the vandalization a proclamation of hate for the set and someone considered one of the most iconic voices of the gang.
According to some to members of the Woo, “Woo K” means the same thing “C K” conveys to members of the Crip gang.
The City of New York will recognize The National Day of Remembrance for Gun-Related Homicide Victims on Friday, Dec. 30 at 3 pm at the Barclays Center at 620 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, the actual borough that has had the most murders in it for almost ten years.
According to a press release, Mayor Eric Adams and New York City’s Czar of Gun Violence Prevention, Andre “AT” Mitchell will be hosting the city’s inaugural observance, standing in solidarity with other municipalities across the United States, particularly those who have lost an excessive amount of citizens to gun violence.
Other government officials, community members, faith-based leaderships, violence interrupters, and other anti-violence organizations will also host.
Some of the cities are Mt. Vernon, NY; Chicago, IL; Newark, NJ; Philadelphia, PA; Baltimore, MD; Atlanta, GA; Washington, D.C.; Jacksonville, FL; Durham & Charlotte N.C.; and Jackson, MS, but more are sure to step up.
Special guest speakers will be Audrey Jackson (Mother of Pop Smoke) and Mysonne Da General (Rap Artist, Civil Rights Activist, and Co-founder of Until Freedom), and they will speak on behalf of the “families, loved ones, and friends of the 240 victims identified in 2022 who lost their lives to the scourge of gun violence, will be there to stand together in healing and hope.”
A.T. Mitchell said, “As we come to the end of the year, we will have a conversation about gun violence numbers for 2022, as we should.”
Adding that those who were lost are not just numbers, “they were fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, nieces, nephews, friends, and loved ones. We need to remember them publicly, by name as we close out this year and begin a new one with a collective citywide New Year’s Resolution to further intensify the work to reduce and prevent the disease of gun violence in 2023.”
Ironically, according to CBS News, the nation’s deadliest city, St. Louis is not one of the cities participating. Baltimore, a city with a murder rate of 58.27 per 100,000, makes the list at #2. D.C. enters into the list of top 20 murderous cities at #13 and Philly comes in at #16.
Atlanta misses the list, coming in at #22 and having a murder rate of 19.53 per 100,000. Not all of the violence is fueled by Black-on-Black crime. Last year, a gunman shot up a spa, killing eight people (majority Asian). Chicago, which has been in the headlines because of its connection to the violent drill movement, ranks on this national list as #28, with Newark right behind it at #30.
Jacksonville arrives on the list at #45.
Two North Carolina metropolitans rounded up the list on Durham hits the compilation at #52 and Charlotte at #59.
New York City does not make the list.
The observance will start with a release of the doves ceremony. The reading of gun-related homicide victims’ names (in groups of ten) will follow.
The ceremony will conclude with a release of a single white balloon to represent the recognition of life and the commitment to Peace in the New Year.
Recording artist and philanthropist Trae The Truth turned himself in to authorities yesterday (December 29th) after rapper Z-Ro pressed charges against him for assault following an altercation in Houston in August 2022.
In a video statement released after the one-sided fight, Z-Ro claimed that he was approached by Trae and was asked to speak with him privately.
When Z-Ro agreed and followed Trae to the side of a bus, he claimed he was punched and then attacked by a group of unknown individuals.
The altercation was captured on video, showing multiple people punching and kicking Z-Ro. The rapper also indicated that he did not know the individuals who participated in the attack.
Trae discussed his demeanor with AllHipHop during an interview prior to his fight with Z-Ro.
“I’m a laid back cat. I’m cool as can be until you create the monster, then I can be something way different. Most of the time I’m laid back and cool man. It makes me feel different when so many people can see me on TV or see me doing this or doing that, then see me in public and realize “man, he’s the same as us and just as cool as us,” Trae told AllHipHop.com.
In a previous interview with AllHipHop, Z-Ro also discussed his meaning of the “G-Code.”
“It means that you keep it real with your peoples, but more importantly, you keep it real with yourself. You are a grown man who takes care of his responsibility. You are aware that only the strong survive, and you survive the best way you know how. I am not saying that people should go out and hustle drugs or kill, but I know firsthand because I had to deal with that type of stuff. As I said earlier, being honest and real with yourself and others,” Z-Ro told AllHipHop.com.
Despite the charges, Trae remains in good spirits and is currently out on bail while awaiting the next steps in his defense against the accusations.
Trae is well-known for his charitable efforts, including providing aid for the Jackson water crisis, participating in rescue efforts in Florida, supporting youth causes, and, most recently, helping an elderly woman who was arrested for not paying her trash bill.
The rapper’s fans are hoping for a swift resolution to the situation.
A new report identified a suspect in an attempted murder case that may be related to Hip-Hop bad girl and the girlfriend of Blueface, Chrisean Rock.
According to a Facebook post dropped by the Baltimore Police Department, Obadiah Malone, 31, Chrisean’s brother, was charged with Attempted 1st Degree Murder after shooting another man on North Ave. in the Southwest District.
Malone’s nickname is “Mookie.”
The post says, “31-year-old Arrested and Charged with Attempted 1st Degree Murder”
“On October 10th, 2022, at approximately 8:43 p.m., Southwest District patrol officers were dispatched to the 2700 block of West North Avenue to investigate a Shot Spotter alert for gunfire in the area.
“When officers arrived at the location, they observed evidence of a shooting. Moments later, the officers were notified that a shooting victim had just walked into an area hospital seeking treatment,” it continued. “The 39-year-old male victim was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.”
“Through the course of their investigation, Southwest District Shooting Detectives were able to identify a suspect and obtain an arrest warrant,” the BPD reported, saying, on Tuesday, December 27th, Warrant Apprehension Task Force detectives found Malone and arrested him.
The police post said he was transported to the Baltimore City Central Booking and Intake Center after the arrest.
Malone’s arrest comes after his appearance on Chrisean and Blueface’s show, “Crazy in Love,” which aired on Zeus. This family episode showed her entire family upset with the toxic relationship she has with the artist.
Chrisean addressed it online.
The drama was never-ending. Check out some of the stuff Mookie said about their relationship.
I just wanted to state that before anything else was said. So, what’s the issue? Rihanna is slated to do the Super Bowl in a little over a month or so. This is massive. However, there have been some performance challenges with the Fenty Queen in the past. I am CERTAIN she is going to kill it, but some people have some concerns.
A recent rumor has stated that Rihanna has not been fully compliant with regard to the rehearsals. Specifically, they said that she was five hours late for a rehearsal that was slated to start at 12 am. First off all, what is a rehearsal doing starting at that time. Secondly, how is she getting there that late, which is actually very, very early?!
I am thinking she can do whatever she wants at this time! On the real side of life, I think she should take this seriously, if there’s any truth to the rumor. We know she is truly one of our favorites. I am in love with her forever, but nobody wants to see her turn into the subject of social media clownery! That is exactly what will happen if she does not ACE this. We already know the Beyonce comparison are on the way!
We really do make just about anybody famous these days. I mean, its not like white people care about Charleston White, but it sure seems to me that he is more of a pariah to the culture than a person that cares about young Black men!
Anyway, he recently got on a blog and rejoiced that Young Thug’s people are indeed falling like toy soldiers. Thugger is not. He is going to go to trial and take it to the end. But, the way his people are looking, this is not going to end well.
But, celebrating? I think that is silly. I think it is better to see the sadness in the mayhem. These people were not born to end in RICO. That’s a tragedy! This only means that somewhere along the way, the system failed. That does not really mean American systems, it could be the community systems. ANYWAY, check out what Charlie Boy had to say and tell me what you think.
Tick said so much, he didn’t leave anything to the imagination.
Solána Imani Rowe is on a remarkable musical run with her latest studio LP. The R&B hitmaker, better known as SZA, topped the Billboard 200 chart with the SOS album.
SZA also found huge success on streaming platforms with the SOS single “Kill Bill.” The song leads Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA chart and Apple Music’s Top 100: USA chart.
On Thursday afternoon, SZA teased a “Kill Bill” music video is on the way. The Top Dawg Entertainment songstress tweeted a teaser from the upcoming visuals. Her clip has collected over 870,000 plays and 76,000 likes on Twitter.
“It’s what y’all deserve 🫡🆘🤍,” wrote SZA in the caption of her Twitter video. The Instagram version of the “Kill Bill” teaser amassed more than 10 million plays and 1.2 million likes on the New Jersey native’s page.
“Kill Bill” reached the #3 position on the Hot 100 rankings. The Carter Lang and Rob Bisel-produced track currently sits at #7. “I Hate U” peaked at #7. “Good Days” peaked at #9. “Nobody Gets Me” peaked at #10. “Shirt” peaked at #11.
Will Bill Cosby be back in front of live crowds soon? It appears the 85-year-old comedian wants to tour in 2023, and Boosie Badazz expressed his excitement for the chance to see Cosby perform.
In 2018, a Pennsylvania jury convicted Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand. He was sentenced to three to ten years in state prison. In June 2021, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Cosby’s conviction.
When asked if 2023 will be a touring year for him, Cosby responded, “Yes, because there’s so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do. Years ago, maybe 10 years ago, I found it was better to say it after I write it.”
Boosie got wind of the news that Bill Cosby is at least considering going on the road in the coming months. The Baton Rouge-raised rapper promoted Cosby’s pending comeback to his 1.2 million Twitter followers.
“GOTTA CATCH A FEW DATES OF THE BILL COSBY TOUR!! MY BOY GO HAVE YALL LAUGHING #letslaugh,” tweeted Boosie Badazz on December 29. Boosie has been a longtime Cosby supporter.
GOTTA CATCH A FEW DATES OF THE BILL COSBY TOUR ‼️MY BOY GO HAVE YALL LAUGHING #letslaugh
After facing dozens of sexual misconduct accusations going back to the 1960s, five women filed a lawsuit against Bill Cosby earlier this month. The plaintiffs accused him of assault, false imprisonment, and more. While many of Boosie’s followers agreed that a Cosby tour is worth checking out, other social media users took issue with the promotion of an alleged sexual abuser.
People getting 15/20 years for murder n he get 30‼️Yes he was wrong af for manipulating young girls n sexing them😞but he didn’t kill anyone,aggravated rape anyone .N no blame on the parents who knew everything. Resentence this man‼️College professors get probation for this s###
Raymond “Benzino” Scott had a lot to get off his chest yesterday (December 29). The former co-owner of The Source magazine went on Twitter to call out comedian Kevin Hart and Hip Hop star DJ Khaled.
At first, Benzino took aim at unnamed podcasters by calling them “too arrogant & egotistical” in a tweet. The 57-year-old reality show veteran also accused podcast hosts of clout chasing before turning his attention to Hart and Khaled.
“It’s funny how I gave Kevin Hart, DJ Khaled, all the guys love,” posted Benzino around 8:50 pm ET on Thursday. Ten minutes later, he returned to the platform to offer more thoughts about the two entertainers.
Benzino tweeted, “It’s funny how when I owned The Source and [executive produced] The Source Awards, I gave a lot [of] these guys who are successful a major platform and some even a bag, but when I fell, they all act like they don’t [know] me. I just smile [at] how [they’re] big ‘celebrities’ now, back then needed my platform and helped them.”
He also added, “I remember DJ Khalid dying to [deejay] The Source Awards and to be in the magazine and I made it happen, or Kevin Hart wanting to host and I made it happen. Funkmaster Flex [is] another [one], I let him [deejay]. Now, these n##### act like I’m a stranger, people don’t [give a f###], they use [you] with no reciprocation.”
Coi Leray, Benzino’s Daughter, Previously Asked People To Pray For Her Father
Benzino’s social media rant did not end there. The former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast member went on to say that there are many “fake, phony, selfish” people in his life. Zino also insisted he was not mad and ended his Twitter diatribe by telling his followers that he has never changed.
“Falling is a part of life, you fall, you get up, you keep going. I’ll be up again, I’m from the dirt, I’m a hustler’s hustler. I got good karma. One thing about me is I never switched up, I’m the same now as I was when I was getting it. I always showed and show love,” concluded Benzino.
This year has also seen Benzino continue his decades-long feuds with Eminem and 50 Cent. In addition, The Antidote album creator seemingly had a falling out with his daughter, recording artist Coi Leray.
Romanian authorities detained controversial internet personality Andrew Tate on Thursday. People worldwide, including Twitch streamer Adin Ross, shared their reactions to the news.
Adin Ross decided to comment on the Tates being arrested. The 22-year-old YouTuber used his platform to call on United States President Joe Biden to release Andrew Tate from custody in Romania.
“[Nah,] I ain’t gonna lie tho – Joe Biden please go ahead and pardon Andrew Tate. Donald Trump woulda been on it already, 🥱 unfortunately, Trump clears you sleepy Joe,” tweeted Adin Ross on Thursday.
Na I ain’t gonna lie tho – Joe Biden please go ahead and pardon Andrew tate. Donald trump woulda been on it already 🥱 unfortunately trump clears you sleepy joe
Adin Ross Also Uploads A Video Response To The News Of Andrew Tate’s Arrest
Other social media users pushed back on Adin Ross’s, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, take. Many tweeters rightly pointed out that Joe Biden has no power to pardon Andrew Tate for alleged crimes in Romania.
“Trump would have definitely pardoned a British citizen arrested by the Romanian government lmao,” wrote one Twitter user. Another account posted, “These are the streamers and YouTubers kids are watching every single day. Not a cogent thought has ever floated between those ears.”
Additionally, Adin Ross uploaded a video addressing Andrew Tate’s current legal situation. The Florida-born, California-raised influencer stated that he hopes the allegations against Tate are not true.
Ross Has Over 12 Million Followers/Subscribers On Twitter, YouTube & Twitch
Back on Twitter, many users also called out Adin Ross for requesting Andrew Tate’s freedom before a criminal case is brought against him. Critics especially took issue with Ross’s pardon demand when Tate faces sex trafficking charges.
Adin Ross currently has 891,000 subscribers on his self-titled YouTube channel and another 3.2 million subscribers on his Adin Live channel. An additional 7 million accounts follow him on Twitch. His Twitter page has 1.7 million followers.
Ten days ago, Ross published a video titled “Adin Ross & Andrew Tate FUNNIEST Moments..😂” which featured the accused rapist. Numerous Hip Hop stars – such as Tory Lanez, NLE Choppa, Blueface, and DDG – have appeared on Ross’s stream as well.

Soulja Boy has racked up another first, although this time, the accolade comes courtesy of Kandi Burruss.
The Real Housewife is continuing her series of funny spoof videos with a send-up of a viral Soulja Boy interview. In her latest skit, Kandi delivered a flawless impersonation of the “Crank That” hitmaker during his interview with 2016 VLAD TV.
On Wednesday (Dec. 28), Kandi took to Instagram to share the hilarious re-enactment of Big Draco’s interview, where he recounts shooting home invaders. Not only did Kandi have the rapper’s outfit and accessories down to a t, but she also perfectly captured the Soulja boy mannerisms.
Her glossy locks were covered by a bald fade wig, while her neck dripped with ice. She even wore a fake grill for the spot-on impression.
“Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em! You know Big Draco had to be the first male rapper that I spoofed,” Kandi captioned the video.
Check out the Xscape singer in the clip below, followed by the section of the interview she spoofed.
Soulja Boy saw the funny side and took to the comments section to share a series of crying-with-laughter emojis before sharing the clip on his Instagram Story.
Elsewhere in the comments section, Nelly showed some love writing, “Flammmmmmes …. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 yo u killed dat Shyt ..!!” Lil Jon was equally impressed, adding, “U GETTING 2 GOOD WITH THIS SHI 🤣🤣🤣”
Kim Kardashian has opened up about her love life, revealing that she wants to remarry and have more children.
Despite their acrimonious divorce, the reality TV star turned entrepreneur feels like Kanye West was her first “real” marriage. While the pair share four children, North 9, Saint 7, Chicago 4, and Psalm 3, Kim said she would “never say never” to a fifth child.
“I’m obviously right at the end of that conversation,” she explained during an appearance on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop podcast. “I would have to have someone in my life for a while in order to make that decision. So, whatever’s meant to be will be.”
Kim Kardashian is clearly exploring all avenues to ensure she can have more kids in the future. When the host suggested Kim Kardashian explore egg-freezing, Kim replied, “I think embryos are the best way to go.”
The SKIMS founder also discussed her previous spouses. Prior to her 2014 wedding to Kanye, Kim was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2003. Then in 2011, she wed NFL star Kris Humphries, but the couple famously split after just 72 days.
“I feel, honestly, [that] my last marriage was my first real [one],” Kim shared. “The first one, I just don’t know what was happening… The second one, I felt like I wanted to be married so badly because all my friends were at that place and that’s where I should have been.”
Kim Kardashian “Definitely” Wants To Remarry
However, despite three failed marriages, Kim said she “definitely” wants to walk down the aisle again. She won’t be making any hasty decisions though, stating she’s “happy to take [her] time” and “soak up every minute of” single life.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were married for seven years before divorcing in 2021. Although the pair share joint custody of their kids, the reality TV star recently admitted co-parenting with the rapper has been “really f###### hard.”
Cardi B has responded to the pushback over a certain lyric from her “Tomorrow 2” verse, defending why she is willing to fight “over dick.”
The NYC rapper took to Instagram on Thursday (Dec. 29), explaining the deeper meaning behind her contentious line from her collab with GloRilla.
Cardi B GloRilla – Tomorrow 2
“I been seeing a lot of tweets going viral talking bout, when Cardi say [‘I’m fighting for my b###### and I’m fighting over dick, too’] they not feeling her like that,” Cardi B began. “But this is my thing. If a b#### go through your purse and she steal some of your money, you not gonna fight that b####? Yeah, b####. You gon’ fight for your money, right? So, if a n#### is providing for you, giving you money, paying your bills, doing all that s###. And a b#### go take him from you, you not gonna fight over that dick?”
Furthermore, Cardi B says she will fight tooth and nail for hers unless the man is broke, in which case a restraining order is the only option.
“’Cause that’s your money,” Cardi B continued. “’Cause that n####’s your money. You not gonna fight for that? B####, ’cause I’m fighting with teeth. I’m biting you, b####, over my n####. Yes, I am. Fighting you over that dick. Now, if it’s a broke n####, b####, I can’t help you. You deserve charges. You deserve a whole restraining order.”
A short while later, Cardi took to Twitter to double down on her comments. “Y’all talkin bout y’all won’t fight over dick but y’all be fighting over celebs online all the time,” she tweeted. “Somebody lying.”
Y’all talkin bout y’all won’t fight over dick but y’all be fighting over celebs online all the time ….somebody lying 🤔 pic.twitter.com/IlrQzisbIY
Snoop Dogg is expanding the Death Row Records brand less than a year after taking the helm, venturing into the cannabis industry.
On Thursday (Dec. 29), the label announced the arrival of Death Row Cannabis via a teaser video. The visual, created by artist Mylarmen with the soundtrack by Kevin Gilliam, formerly known as DJ Battlecat, previewed the upcoming “liquid diamond infused” pre-roll tubes.
“Promising to return Death Row to its former glory, all elements of the former label are being refitted for today’s audience and their evolving tastes,” Death Row Cannabis wrote in a press release.
Snoop Dogg personally selected West Coast legacy cultivator and industry insider AK to curate Death Row Cannabis. He is also responsible for the IYKYK brand SMKRS and is a majority owner of Cookies stores nationwide.
Death Row Cannabis launches in stores next week, although Snoop Dogg is yet to announce an exact date. Check out the video teaser below.
A famed cannabis connoisseur, the Doggfather had to clarify how much weed he smokes recently after his professional blunt roller claimed the rapper smoked over 100 joints a day.
Stop lying,” Snoop Dogg said in an Instagram video responding to his blunt roller’s claims. “F### I’ma smoke all that weed in one day. What am I, a f#####’ machine? B####, this is the roaches. See… roaches,” he added.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Snoop Dogg revealed the “most stoned” he has ever been. During an episode of the Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray podcast, he recalled a hazy night with country music legend Willie Nelson.
“‘We was in Amsterdam on 4/20, and he was doing a concert out there,” the West Coast icon recounted. “Me and him were playing dominoes one-on-one. He whooping my ass, and I’m just getting higher and higher and higher.”
According to Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson kept passing him the weed. “And I’m like, “This old m########### is out-smoking me.” As the hosts attempted to contain their laughter, Snoop added, “I’m trying to stop, but I can’t because I don’t want to show no signs of weakness.”
OMG, you HAVE to hear this story of @SnoopDogg and @WillieNelson partying in Amsterdam together. 😆
Tory Lanez is going down. Well, he’s already down after he was proclaimed guilty by a court of law in the shooting case of Megan Thee Stallion. Newsflash! There are so many people that still think Megan Thee Stallion is lying. If she is lying, does a new audio / vid seems to confirm she was totally telling the truth in the court. She was never under any obligation to tell Gayle King the truth, by the way.
So, there is a new revelation that is damning at best. Tory has yet to be sentenced in the shooting and he is facing deportation. In the video, he says sorry to Kelsey, Meg’s best friend at the time. Kelsey, in turn, says that Meg was in the hospital and she was waiting like the doting friend she is. In the video, which us heavily tagged, Tory apologizes and says that he was drunk. In fact, he says that it wouldn’t have happened it at all if he was not drunk. He apologizes endlessly, but stops shy of saying he actually blasted the lady rapper. He makes the startling revelation that he was blessed (or cursed) with several shots of hard liquor (5 to be specific).
Kelsey says she was gone too, high off the liquor and out of it. He pretty much reveals that their relationship was over, never to speak again. He also said that he knew that he was going to get all the hell and not Meg. I am not sure why he would think she was get FLACK for a shooting HE did. Oddly enough, he admits that he does not remember what she and he were even arguing about.
He must have been a rookie! This is crazy! Here is the video even though the girl talking is annoying as hell!

Yolanda Adams is one of the more respected and revered gospel sensations EVER. She does not have a lot of peers. However, the internet recently tried to play her like a common guttersnipe recently! First of all, a lot of these moms and grand moms were out there in Atlanta getting freaky when they were younger! Back in the 90s there was a thing in Atlanta called “Freaknik.” All it was was people in the streets acting crazy.
Well, as you can imagine, a lot of people were out and about. But, the internet done went an lost its collective ever-loving minds with this one! They have tried to say explicitly that this women with her assets out in front of Trina is none other than Yolanda Adams! Get back, ye heathens!
Ain’t no WAY that is my gospel singing sister! You know how I know? Trina shot it down herself from the IG. I saw it myself, but I did not screen shot it in time. But , Lil Duval did! Peep!
Trae Tha Truth traveled to Alabama to meet with an 82-year-old woman who was arrested for not paying a $77 trash bill.
Martha Menefield thought police were joking when they came to arrest her at her Valley, Alabama home in November. Officers took her into custody over an unpaid bill, which she thought she paid.
The elderly woman’s arrest sparked outrage on social media. A city official claimed Menefield had a history of suspended service and ignored a citation to appear in court. But Menefield told CBS 42 she never received any notice.
A month after the arrest, Trae Tha Truth made his way to Alabama to assist Menefield. The philanthropic rapper encouraged his Instagram followers to donate to a GoFundMe page for Menefield.
“Yall Meet Mrs Martha Menefield,” Trae Tha Truth wrote. “She wanted to tell everyone who cared, Prayed or Donated Thank You… I Need all the Real Ones to Donate, She Has No Central Heat or AC, And House Floods When it rains, and many more things, it will take a lot of work but we can bless her… Donate to her directly so we can make sure they try to take her jail again and she never have to stress about simply living …. Bless Our Elders.”
Watch Menefield express her gratitude for the help she received from Trae Tha Truth and others below.
YFN Lucci’s attorney Drew Findling denied claims suggesting his client will testify in Young Thug’s upcoming trial.
Findling told TMZ his client never talked to prosecutors or law enforcement about anything regarding the YSL RICO case. YFN Lucci’s lawyer spoke out after his client’s name was mentioned in a courtroom clip that spread via social media on Thursday (December 29).
“Any party can announce for example that Abraham Lincoln is on their witness list, but those words alone are meaningless,” Findling said. “So, to be 100% clear, Rayshawn Bennett (Lucci) will not be a witness in the YSL case.”
An attorney referred to YFN Lucci as a witness during a hearing in the YSL RICO case. A video of the comment circulated online, which led to speculation that he struck some type of deal with prosecutors to alleviate his own legal issues.
YFN Lucci is in jail awaiting trial on multiple charges, including murder. But his lawyer said his client won’t take the stand in Young Thug’s RICO trial despite their longstanding beef.
“His focus, as it should be, is on his pending Fulton County case,” Findling said.
Young Thug’s trial is scheduled to begin in January 2023. He will be tried alongside 14 co-defendants who were named in the RICO indictment against YSL.
