Yung Miami Clarifies The City Girls’ Status And Explains What Happened With JT

August 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Miami just dropped a bombshell when it comes to long-awaited remarks on a lot of what’s happened in her life over the past year or so. Moreover, her podcast series Caresha Please just dropped its first new episode in a long time, and she had a lot of things to address. One of these was the Miami rapper’s connection to Diddy, a relationship that she confirmed ended right around when the Bad Boy mogul faced various lawsuits and abhorrent allegations. However, the other big narrative of this podcasting return was the end of the City Girls, and she explained why she and JT decided to move on from this duo.

“So I don’t really know, like, what was the moment that separated us,” Yung Miami said of JT and the City Girls in this Saucy Santana-hosted episode of Caresha Please. “But I just felt like it became a time where, like, when we was getting together, it just wasn’t connecting. And I was just like… Ain’t no money in the group, you get what I’m saying? Like, we not going to the studio together. I’m doing a feature, people calling for the City Girls… You know, it’s either me or it’s you.

“It just wasn’t connecting no more and I just felt like that’s what really made me, like, start my own brand,” Yung Miami continued. “Like, I got to do something because I’m in this group. The group ain’t making no money, we not working… I was just like, ‘You know what, I got to figure something out. It’s been a minute since s**t been going on behind closed doors.

“I feel like we outgrew each other,” Yung Miami concluded. “I feel like she was in L.A., I was in Miami. She was been working on her s**t… I didn’t know. And I just feel like every time we tried to get together, it just didn’t hit. I just feel like when we got together, it wasn’t hitting. I just feel like we was just in two different head spaces. Like, the way we dressed was different. I’m more of, I’ll wear a leotard. JT wants to wear something covered. So I just felt like whenever we tried to get together, it just didn’t connect.”

Travis Scott Was Arrested In Paris After He Allegedly Assaulted A Security Guard In A Hotel

August 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott has found himself in legal trouble again.

The rapper was arrested in Paris, France, early Friday morning following an incident involving a security guard and his bodyguard, NBC News reports.

“I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, police officers were called to the George V hotel and arrested the rapper nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard,” the Paris prosecutor’s officer said in a statement. “The security guard had intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard. The Paris public prosecutor’s office has referred the case to the 1st district of the judicial police.”

Scott is in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Prior to the incident, he caught the US Olympic men’s basketball team stage a thrilling comeback to beat Serbia and advance to the gold-medal game against France.

Back in June, Scott was arrested in Miami on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing on property after a warning. “Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding,” his lawyer Bradford Cohen said in a statement at the time. “There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.” The disorderly intoxication charge has since been dismissed.

Nelly’s Attorneys Blame Overzealous Police Officer For Recent Drug Arrest

August 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This week, rapper Nelly found himself trouble after being arrested on drug possession charges in St. Louis. The arrest took place inside the Hollywood Casino in St. Charles, Missouri, and has sparked controversy, with Nelly’s attorney accusing a police officer of unfairly targeting the rapper.

According to Page Six, the incident occurred after law enforcement conducted a background check on Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr. The check revealed an outstanding warrant for failing to provide proof of insurance from a previous traffic stop. This routine verification is reportedly a standard procedure for Missouri casinos, in compliance with the state’s gaming commission regulations.

However, Nelly’s lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, claims that the situation was handled improperly. In an exclusive statement to Page Six, Rosenblum alleged that the rapper was “targeted by an overzealous, out of line officer” who went beyond the necessary protocol.

“After winning several jackpots at a venue where Mr. Haynes frequently visits and entertains at its amphitheater, instead of just supervising the transfer of Mr. Haynes’ winnings, this officer felt compelled to needlessly run a check for warrants,” Rosenblum said.

The arrest has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the incident and whether Nelly was unjustly singled out by the authorities. Rosenblum’s statement suggests that Nelly, a regular performer and visitor at the casino, was subjected to undue scrutiny, leading to his arrest on charges that might otherwise have been avoided.

As the case unfolds, Nelly’s legal team is expected to challenge the actions of the police officer involved, potentially raising broader concerns about how law enforcement handles high-profile individuals.

Jonathan Majors Requests Extension in Defamation Lawsuit Filed by Ex-Girlfriend Grace Jabbari

August 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors Dropped by Marvel Following Guilty Verdict

Actor Jonathan Majors is facing another legal hurdle as his newly appointed legal team requests more time to respond to a defamation of character lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. This request comes after Majors, 34, hired new representation last month to handle the ongoing case.

According to reports Majors’ legal team filed a motion asking the judge to extend the deadline for their response from August 15 to September 19. Court documents reveal that the request was made to allow Majors’ attorneys to gather all relevant case files and to continue crucial discussions with Jabbari’s legal team.

“The Parties are in agreement that an extension beyond August 15, 2024 is necessary for the following reasons; (1) [Jonathan’s] counsel is still in the process of gathering the relevant file with respect to the case; and (2) counsel for [Grace] and [Jonathan] are currently engaged in important dialogue regarding the case and need additional time to have these extensive discussions,” stated Majors’ attorney in the filing.

Grace Jabbari, 31, filed the lawsuit accusing Majors of assault, battery, and defamation. The lawsuit follows a previous legal battle where Majors was found guilty of misdemeanor third-degree assault and second-degree assault in January. However, he was acquitted on other charges related to the incident with Jabbari, which occurred in March 2023.

Majors has consistently denied all claims of wrongdoing. The ongoing legal challenges have cast a shadow over his career, and the outcome of this defamation lawsuit could have significant implications for his future.
