Soulja Boy’s Ex Permitted To Seize Vehicles, Cash, And More For Lawsuit Damages
Last month, Soulja Boy’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Myers, motioned to seize some of the rapper’s assets to collect the damages awarded to her in her assault case. The rapper was ordered to pay Myers $472K, but he claimed he was unable to pay due to financial struggles. He motioned to dismiss the damages, but the judge denied it.
“Defendant must be earning money from somewhere sufficient to pay for the rent and whatever other monthly expenses he has,” the judge explained. “In other words, defendant is paying $300,000/year in rent alone. It stands to reason that he must have some other living expenses. And that money must come from somewhere.” Now, the judge has granted officers permission to seize Soulja Boy’s cars and cash on behalf of his ex. Officers will be allowed to take any cash in excess of $1K.

Soulja Boy’s Ex Collecting Damages
In his motion to dismiss the damages, Soulja Boy claimed that he owes the IRS $1 million in back taxes. He also cited steep rental payments for his LA mansion, which he says costs him $25K per month. The judge advised Soulja Boy to scale back his living situation in order to pay off his debt.
Myers sued the rapper back in 2020, accusing him of kidnapping and assaulting her at a Malibu house party the year prior. Her awarded damages are to cover her mental health expenses, as well as the physical and mental suffering the alleged assault caused her. “Mr. Way [Soulja Boy] assaulted and terrorized Kayla, and that was borne out by the evidence and testimony,” Myers’ attorney stated. “The punitive damages were substantial, and hopefully they will serve as a lesson to Mr. Way that his celebrity status is not a license to commit violence.” What do you think of the court granting officers permission to seize Soulja Boy’s property on behalf of his ex?

Keefe D’s Lawyer Fails To Show Up For Arraignment, Hearing Delayed 2 Weeks
Keefe D’s arraignment has been continued for two weeks after the lawyer he hired failed to show up for Wednesday’s hearing, according to TMZ. The arraignment comes after Las Vegas police arrested the 60-year-old former gang member, last week, in the 1996 killing of 2Pac.
Keefe D is facing a charge of murder with the use of a deadly weapon in a gang-related homicide. Police say he is the only surviving suspect in the case.

Las Vegas Police Arrest Keefe D In The Killing Of 2Pac
As for what to expect from the case, Suge Knight has already stated that he will refuse to testify. Speaking with TMZ, he explained: “I wouldn’t be. Well, number one, I’m not gonna get on the stand and testify on somebody for what? […] I wouldn’t go, I wouldn’t testify. None of that shit.”
In the wake of Keefe D’s arrest, an interview he gave to The Art of Dialogue back in July has been resurfacing on social media. During the conversation, he admitted that speaking openly about the incident had him worried about jail. “Them dudes was kids, man. Both of them dudes was kids back then,” he said at the time, referring to Deandre “Big Dre” Smith and Orlando Anderson. “Dre was an All-CIF basketball player. He had a nice shot, dunking, all that shit. Dre was an athlete. He wasn’t about that.” From there, the interviewer pressed Keefe. He answered: “Man. We don’t need to discuss that. We already discussed that. What are you trying to get me in jail again?” Be on the lookout for further updates on Keefe D’s case on HotNewHipHop.

Tupac’s Former Collaborator Says He Wouldn’t Want Keefe D In Jail
The hip-hop world has been completely magnetized to the Tupac murder trial recently. That’s because Las Vegas police recently arrested Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis for the murder 27 years after it happened. Keefe’s involvement in the murder has long been known, primarily because he’s continued to talk about it for years. In fact, many believe that the only reason the arrest was made and legal proceedings undertaken is because Keefe wouldn’t stop talking about his role in the slaying. One person who believes that is former Outlawz member Napoleon who sat down with The Art Of Dialogue to discuss the situation.
Napoleon criticizes Keefe D quite a bit in the interview. He begins by claiming that discussing the events of the murder nearly 30 years later was a corny move. But he also explains that Keefe’s internet clout-chasing caught up with him and as a result, his arrest isn’t that surprising. Despite all of that Napoleon insists that Tupac wouldn’t have wanted Keefe D to rot in jail as a result of his role in the crime. It’s a similar sentiment to one that Suge Knight expressed when he talked to TMZ about the ongoing legal proceedings. Check out Napoleon’s full interview below.

Many people have expressed a belief that restarting the investigation into Tupac’s murder in 2023 was a bad idea. That includes the rapper’s own brother who criticized the move as re-introducing the trauma of his death. He elaborated saying that for him the case was already closed years ago. He also said that he isn’t getting any closure from the ongoing proceedings.
On the other side of things, Pac’s sister expressed happiness that there was finally a push for justice on the rapper’s behalf. It’s a sentiment that Jada Pinkett Smith also agreed with when asked about the developments. What do you think of Napoleon’s comments on Keefe D’s arrest for Tupac’s murder?

Rick Ross Reveals That He Has Spent Over $100 Million In The Last Six Months: Watch
We could talk about the baller mentality of Rick Ross for eternity. The highly successful rapper hailing from Mississippi, has been making baller moves for years. He essentially stepped into the rap game taking over in his own way with his hit from ’06, “Hustlin.’” It is safe to say that this song embodies what he is all about. From that point forward, he worked relentlessly to grow his musical catalog. Over time, he gained a lot of knowledge about how to increase his income. It all started to come together once he signed his seven-figure deal with Dej Jam and Jay-Z.
Just a short time ago, Ross joined a local Miami, Florida podcast. Daily Deposits Miami nabbed the big-time rapper to talk for quite a while. One of the conversations was about how he put aside his $1 million. It taught him how to be smart with his money. Once he saw how quickly he could make a lot, he continued to up the ante. “F*** a mil. You got that right off the rip, you got to readjust this s***. Now it’s five [million].” After all of the grinding and smart investments over the years, Ross is able to get involved with more projects.

Krayzie Bone Thanked Jehovah And His Fans For Their Prayers On Instagram As He Recovers From His Health Scare
Krazyzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is awake and appears to be recovering after a scary incident that left him hospitalized and “fighting for his life.” The Cleveland rapper returned to Instagram to share an update with fans, who were rightly relieved to find that he had survived his life-threatening health scare. “Just fought for life literally for 9 days straight,” he wrote in the caption. “And I only won the battle this time because I know Jehovah God was with me every step of the way fighting for me. Never take life for granted enjoy it while have you have it! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers trust me I needed every last one of them.”
The 50-year-old rapper — whose real name is Anthony Henderson — was hospitalized late last month after coughing up blood when doctors discovered a bleeding artery in his lung. After undergoing surgery to repair the artery, Henderson was placed into a medically induced coma to recover, only for doctors to find that the bleeder returned, necessitating a second surgery. After bandmate Bizzy Bone asked for prayers on Twitter, fans of the pioneering Cleveland group responded in force, including fellow Cleveland native LeBron James. Here’s hoping Krayzie Bone continues to recover and gets to enjoy the renewed interest in the group in the last few years.
Lil Yachty Is Facing Online Criticism Over His Tattoos, But He Had A Perfect, Humble Response
Lil Yachty always has the people talking. Whether it be about new music — like his new J. Cole collaboration “The Secret Recipe” — or if he’s the subject of a new meme, the internet is always abuzz for the Atlanta rapper. Lately, Yachty’s tattoos have been the subject of much conversation.
A picture of Yachty shirtless, with his tattoos in full view. Some of these tattoos include a compass, two replicas of figures designed by KAWS, and the word “Concrete” across his chest. Of course, some beholders couldn’t help but crack a joke.
“rappers spend so much money on jewelry but never on a good tattoo artist,” said one Twitter user.
Yachty caught wind of the Tweet, but it appears he’s in good spirits over the joke.
He quoted the tweet with a video of boxer Adrian Broner, saying, “Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah… I ain’t gonna lie, I’m getting cooked.”

Yachty is currently on the road for his Field Trip Tour. In an interview with The Recording Academy before the tour kicked off, Yachty expressed his gratitude for the way people have received his new music, especially with his psychedelic shift on his latest album, Let’s Start Here.
“It did what it was supposed to do, which was transcend people,” said Yachty of Let’s Start Here. “If you are on that side of the world and you’re into that type of stuff, it did its job, its course — the same course as [Pink Floyd’s] Dark Side Of The Moon, which is to take you on a journey, an experience.
While Yachty’s tattoos may have garnered a mixed response, most of us can agree upon the quality of his music.
