Alleged Slimelife Shawty Plea Deal Explanation Proven Fake

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier today (August 20), several outlets claimed to have acquired audio purporting to show voice messages from Slimelife Shawty explaining why he took a plea deal in the YSL case. Alongside messages in which Shawty appears to argue that he did it for his family, audio messages appear to drive the message home. “It really made me think – damn, who gonna be there for my kids?,” Shawty can reportedly be heard saying. “I don’t fuck with a n*gga like that. I ain’t gonna be around a n*gga like that,” Shawty allegedly continued. The second comment was in reference when asked if he’s spoken with Durk since the plea.

However, the audio has since been proven to be fake. The source of the audio was actually a 2021 interview that Shawty did on the Big Facts podcast. Someone, it’s unclear who, lifted the audio and spliced it over doctored images of text messages purportedly from Shawty to an unknown figure.

More Drama In YSL Trial

Furthermore, it’s been a pretty busy week in regard to the YSL trial and its ever-unfolding consequences. The complex nature of the case has led to the delay of YFN Lucci’s trial. The primary reason for the delay in Lucci’s case is that Lucci is actually part of the YSL case. “YFN Lucci’s trial was due to begin January 9, same as Young Thug’s. The YFN gang and RICO case is just as wide-ranging as the YSL case,” Chidi tweeted. “The two are connected; Lucci is a witness,” tweeted journalist George Chidi. “And here we go. For clarification: Lucci is on the state’s witness list. That doesn’t mean he’s going to testify, but he could still be called. Don’t @ me with questions about snitching. I don’t care.”

However, it’s the possibility that Lucci could be called to testify means that his trial cannot start. Prosecutors would not want to begin only to be postponed if he was called to testify in the YSL case. This comes as more twists emerge in the YSL case. Last week, a warrant was ordered on the laptop of attorney Eric Johnson. Johnson had been accused of allowing one of his clients, Christian Eppinger, to use his laptop to contact people and YSL contacts outside of prison. Previously, the investigation into Eppinger’s conduct led to the arrest of a Fulton County deputy, who was reportedly in a romantic relationship with Eppinger. However, given the chaotic state of the YSL trial, it’s unclear how long Lucci’s trial will remain delayed.

Slimelife Shawty Appears To Explain Reason For YSL Plea Deal In Alleged Audio Leak

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last year, Slimelife Shawty and Lil Durk both accepted plea deals to avoid facing trial over their connection to the Atlanta-based YSL. The group, led by Young Thug, has long been deemed a criminal gang by prosecutors and now faces a sprawling RICO trial in Fulton County. However, alleged audio recordings released by News Made It appears to shed more like on why Shawty took the deal. Alongside messages in which Shawty appears to argue that he did it for his family, audio messages appear to drive the message home. “It really made me think – damn, who gonna be there for my kids?,” Shawty can reportedly be heard saying. “I don’t fuck with a n*gga like that. I ain’t gonna be around a n*gga like that,” Shawty allegedly continued. The second comment was in reference when asked if he’s spoken with Durk since the plea.

It is very important to note that aside from the audio, there is nothing officially tying this leak to Shawty. Many people in the comments have accused News Made It of falsifying the audio or manipulating it for the sake of a story. Therefore, at this time, we have to say that this is an alleged leak without much evidence to back it up. Furthermore, News Made It does not appear to be claiming that they are the original source of the audio, meaning it is also unclear where they got it from themselves. This is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they come in.

Ali Never Wants To Work With Nelly Again: “He’s Far Behind On The Payments”

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview, St. Lunatics’ Ali revealed that he doesn’t plan on performing alongside his former groupmate anytime in the near future. Allegedly, Nelly owes the St. Louis-born performer some money, and he’s done letting it slide. Ali also says that he doesn’t think Nelly has ever looked out for the wellbeing of his fellow St. Lunatics artists. He refuses to work with him again because according to him, “A tiger ain’t never gon’ change his stripes.”

When asked for an estimate of how much Nelly owes him, he says “it could be $90,000 or $70,000.” He goes on, “When that conversation happens I’ll get a check.” Ali tells VladTV, It’ll be $13,000. Now you’ll be f*cked up now because what is this $13,000 for? You owe me $91,000.“

Ali Says Nelly “Has No Real Raw Good Intentions For Others”

“What did you pay me for? At the end of it, it’s gonna be $66,000 because he’s far behind on the payments,” he continued. Ali then went on to describe how he thinks Nelly won’t ever change his ways, claiming that the artist has always only had his own best interest in mind. “A tiger ain’t never gon’ change his stripes,” he adds. “I watched it for 20 years and I’m the butt of the joke because it took me 20 years to realize it. I could put a never, ever behind it will I ever hit the stage or do anything with him.”

Ali goes on to say that Nelly “has no real raw good intentions for others. Not for us and we’ve all sat together and searched hard to try to find a time that didn’t benefit him. He got $50million, I’m happy for him. That’s what he wants. He wants a billion.” This isn’t the first time the St. Lunatics performer came forward to make claims about Nelly. Ali has said in the past that his own work made Nelly’s possible, even claiming that he “was writing [Nelly] a career.”

Young Thug Gets A Birthday Shoutout From Gunna

August 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Gunna recently took to social media, seemingly celebrating the birthday of one of his old friends. He posted a photo of Young Thug, who turned 32 today, sitting inside of a hot pink Bentley. The apparent “happy birthday” post raised some eyebrows, as Gunna is famously accused of “snitching” on the rapper. In May, he and Young Thug along with several other YSL affiliates were indicted in a major RICO case. Gunna was later released from prison at the end of 2022.

For those who don’t know, the YSL founder remains behind bars amid the RICO case. He’s facing several gang charges tied to YSL, and has been denied bond more than once. The jury selection process remains ongoing, as it’s proven to be a daunting task. Reportedly, the artist has been facing health problems, even getting hospitalized earlier this summer. According to reports, his lawyers are concerned for his overall “wellbeing.”

Gunna has continued to deny the snitching allegations, however, this hasn’t prevented him from being endlessly trolled both online and in-person. Despite the hate, Gunna dropped a new album, A Gift & a Curse, earlier this summer and it’s been a major success. On the album, he appears to address the allegations, seemingly calling for Young Thug not to listen to chatter about the “snitching.” “Know you hearin’ the lies that your lil’ brother might fold (Gunna Wunna) / Yeah, I had popped out, but don’t let ’em say I told,” he raps on “i was just thinking.”

Exactly one week later, Young Thug dropped his own LP from behind bars, Business Is Business. He also appears to address the rumors in his new album. “N***as told and he was my homie, I can’t miss him, Ain’t nobody feel him,” he raps on “Jonesboro.” As of now, some fans speculate that the duo may be back on good terms, while others claim their friendship is over for good.

Several Of Young Nudy’s PDE Affiliates Arrested For Alleged Insurance Fraud Scheme

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to reports, several of Georgia-born rapper Young Nudy’s PDE affiliates were indicted earlier this week. All eight of them are facing RICO charges for their alleged role in a multi-state insurance fraud scheme. Apparently, they had managed to allegedly steal somewhere around $70,000 in COVID-19 relief funds. Prosecutors claim they stole “personal information from more than 100 Fulton County residents to apply for and receive federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds.”

White Collar Crime Unit Deputy District Attorney Will Wooten shared a statement amid the arrests. “The White Collar Crime Unit spent more than two years investigating this case,” he explained. “Which came to our attention out of a series of gang-related homicide investigations in early 2021.” Wooten continued, “We spent countless hours combing through cell phone evidence, social media evidence, bank records, and other documents, and we intend to hold accountable all of the individuals charged by the grand jury in this case.”

The arrests were announced yesterday (August 9), by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. They claim it closed an investigation that took more than two years and involved multiple jurisdictions. It surrounded “associates of the PDE criminal street gang,” according to them. Along with the RICO charges, the individuals are also charged with identity fraud, violation of the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act, and conspiracy to defraud the state.

“Whether they are shooting or stealing, criminal street gangs will be prosecuted by my office for the crimes they commit in Fulton County using every tool available under the law,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis claims. “If gangs choose to turn to white collar crimes to fund their illegal activities, we will be waiting with indictments in hand.” At the time of writing, Young Nudy has yet to comment on any of the arrests.

Lizzo Hit With Additional Sexual Harassment Allegations

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lizzo’s been a beacon in the body-positivity movement since she made it big. Her songs boast clear messages of empowerment, self-love, and more. This, coupled with her seemingly fun and bubbly personality, has gained the pop star millions of fans around the world. Last week, however, it appears as though everything came crashing down for Lizzo, as multiple former employees came forward with some serious allegations against her. According to a lawsuit filed by three of her ex-backup dancers, the “Truth Hurts” performer created a hostile working environment and engaged in sexual harassment.

It’s now been reported that six additional former employees have been vetted amid the process of the lawsuit. According to lawyer Ron Zambrano, these dancers share “similar stories” to the ones that were revealed last week. Apparently, the dancers were subjected to a “sexually charged environment,” and were not properly paid. “Some of the claims we are reviewing may be actionable, but it is too soon to say,” Zambrano claims.

Lizzo’s Allegations

The allegations raised against Lizzo are shocking, to say the least. Reports claim that some of the dancers were subjected to body-shaming, and even pressured into participating in an explicit sex show in Amsterdam. “Things quickly got out of hand,” according to the lawsuit. “The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing,” Zambrano says.

After the initial lawsuit was made public, Lizzo took to social media to respond. She called the stories “sensationalized,” noting that her “work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned.” Lizzo further denied body-shaming her employees, claiming that she’s not the “villain” the lawsuit portrays her as.

Key Glock’s Ex-Girlfriend Accuses Him Of Physical Assault

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Key Glock’s facing serious accusations after airing out his ex-girlfriend Karin Jinsui. The Memphis rapper took to Instagram earlier this week where he berated Jinsui, writing, “Sending this fake godly a*s b*tch back to da streets.” In response, Jinsui alleged that he “put his hands” on her. “All that boy has to offer is money & [d*ck] literally. I can find that [sh*t] a million other places. I’m a grown righteous woman & I require more than that… that he can’t offer,” she began.

Jinsui began to take aim at his public persona, claiming that the Glockoma 2 rapper is “hurt” in real life. “He’s the real one that ain’t [sh*t] & he knows it. He tries to ACT like he so ‘Playa’ to the public but really he’s a hurt [a*s] little boy….that desperately needs help,” she added before leaping into the allegations of abuse. “He put his hands on me Monday because he don’t know how to have grown up conversations & I STILL ain’t call the cops or inform the hotel. I just left,” she continued. “Why he decided to post about the cops & they wasn’t even called is funny as hell.”

Glock shared several messages on social media which evidently prompted Jinsui to speak out publicly. Jinsui’s decision to address Key Glock’s claims about the police were prompted by a tweet he sent out on Tuesday. “ion respect nobody who play police games [thumbs down emoji],” he wrote. In a follow up, he continued to throw shots at her, writing, “She might look good on IG but I SWEAR dat bitch AINT NONE!!”

Jinsui also said that Key Glock failed to show emotional maturity and hoped that the materialistic goods would keep her around. “I did my best with tryna understand him but he ain’t a ready to be a man & he’s not a good person. It works for his rapper image. Not his personal affairs. He’ll learn one day…but not with me! Lol,” she wrote. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding the situation.

Jonah Hill Reveals Slim Appearance Following Emotional Abuse Allegations

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jonah Hill appeared slimmer than ever while rocking a new buzz cut, following allegations of emotional abuse from his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady and actress Alexa Nikolas. Hill’s new look was caught in pictures obtained by Page Six. They show him out in Malibu, California, over the weekend.

For the excursion, Hill wore a pair of brown slacks with a tucked-in blue T-shirt. The short sleeves showed off his tattooed arms. He tied the outfit together with a pair of white sneakers.

The latest allegation made against Hill comes from Zoey 101 alum Alexa Nikolas. In a post on social media, she wrote: “After reading Sarah Brady’s admirable post about #JonahHill, I just gotta say, when I was 16 I got invited to a house party at #JustinLong’s house where he was living with some predator actor from CSI: Miami. I’ll look up the name later and find him. Jonah Hill seemed to have his eyes on me because at one point I wanted a cig and he said he had one in his car right outside.” She added: “Didn’t seem like too much of an effort so I trusted him. I went outside and he grabbed the cigs from he front seat. [He] didn’t hand me the cig, which I thought was weird. Then as we walked back I asked him for it, he said nothing but slammed me to the door and shoved his tongue down my throat.” From there, she ran back inside.

As for Sarah Brady’s allegations, she posted several screenshots of text message conversations with Hill. In them, Hill asked her to take down any photos from Instagram that show her surfing with her “ass in a thong.” From there, Hill labeled it a “good start” while adding, “But it’s not my place to teach you. I’ve made my boundaries clear. You refuse to let go of some of them and you’ve made that clear and I hope it makes you happy.” Hill also threatened to break up with her if she wants to surf “with men,” “to model,” and more. Check out the new pictures of Hill here.

Bill Cosby Sued Again, Singer Alleges He Drugged And Assaulted Her

August 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bill Cosby’s ongoing legal battle continues, recently being hit with another lawsuit. Singer Morganne Picard is suing the 86-year-old for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting her. She claims the crimes happened on multiple occasions between 1987 and 1990. According to Picard, Cosby gave her drinks that would make her black out various times. The suit says she didn’t question this due to the positive way he had been portrayed in the media. While at the time she believed the effects were a result of alcohol, she now alleges that he had drugged them. The lawsuit also alleges that Cosby would sexually assault her after giving her the drinks, making her unable to consent. He “undressed and raped her, without her consent and when she did not have the capacity to consent,” the suit says.

According to Picard, she met Cosby on the set of The Cosby Show, when he allegedly showed interest in boosting her career through an appearance on the show. She then claims to have developed a bond with Cosby and his wife, Camille Cosby. The lawsuit says that Picard had seen Cosby as a father figure. “Based on the relationship that Cosby fostered with Ms. Picard and his wholesome image as ‘America’s Dad,’ Ms. Picard assumed that the extreme effects of the beverages were attributable to the effects of alcohol, rather than to drugs placed in the beverages from Cosby,” the lawsuit states.

In addition to Cosby, Picard is also suing NBCUniversal Media, Kaufman Astoria Studios, Astoria Studios Limited Partnership II, and The Carsey-Werner Company. She claims they “condoned and encouraged” the actor’s predatory behavior and assault of women by failing to prevent the abuse. “They knew and/or should have known Cosby was sexually abusing, preying on, grooming, assaulting, and/or battering women using the power, authority, resources, and facilities they provided to Cosby, but did nothing to stop it,’ the lawsuit states.

She is suing the companies for negligent hiring, retention, and supervision. Picard is now also seeking compensatory and punitive damages from the disgraced former comedian.

Rod Wave’s Dad Goes Off On Moneybagg Yo: “You Want To Shoot Me?”

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rod Wave’s father recently took to social media to make some serious allegations against Moneybagg Yo. According to Rodney “Fatz” Green, the rapper allegedly threatened to shoot him for simply asking to borrow a lighter. Green went in on Moneybagg Yo for the incident, calling him and his crew “A bunch of b*tches.” It’s unclear why the lighter request escalated to this level, but it’s obvious that Green is fed up.

“Moneybagg, you should’ve been told my son you apologized for being disrespectful to his daddy,” he says in the clip. “The f*ck wrong with you? Like you wanted to shoot me.” Green continued, “You all up in your car with your hand on your gun like you want to shoot me for asking for a lighter?”

Rod Wave’s Dad Calls Moneybagg Yo And His Crew “A Bunch Of B*tches”

The rant went on, “You get in your car when you see I ain’t running. Your fat goons hop out the car like I’d f*ck all them n***as up, man. All you n***as wanna run to your guns. A bunch of b*tches. Line this sh*t up one-on-one. F*ck gunplay — anybody can do that sh*t.” He continues, “I ask this n***a for a lighter and he look at me and ask me, ‘What the f*ck you just ask me, n***a? You ask me for what?’ These supposed to be street n***as and a regular n***a can’t ask you… And you blow the whole spot up like you want to fight.”

Green later went on to call out Moneybagg Yo for his behavior during his 2018 collab with Rod Wave, “Feel the Same Way.” Apparently, Rod Wave paid $30K for Moneybagg Yo’s verse. “You ain’t do no favors,” he tells the rapper, “it wasn’t like you was just f*ckin’ with my boy.” “Every track he touch, every song he puts you n***as on,” Green says of his son, “it hit a million every time.”
