Tory Lanez Scores Small Legal Victory In Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Case

July 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last year, Tory Lanez was sentenced to ten years behind bars for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. He and his team have been trying to appeal the verdict ever since, though they’ve been unsuccessful so far. Now, however, he’s secured at least one small victory.

Reportedly, the performer recently filed a request for “relevant evidence,” or evidence that could be used in his favor. Days later, prosecutors filed paperwork to oppose his motion. Now, California’s court of appeals has decided that they’ll consider his request. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll honor the request, but it’s a win for him nonetheless.

After all, since getting convicted, Lanez hasn’t had a lot of luck on the legal front. It looks like his personal life has taken a hit too, as his wife of less than a year Raina Chassagne filed for divorce last month. It’s unclear whether or not this has anything to do with Lanez’s legal woes, as she simply cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. Some speculate that the two of them only got married so that he could dodge deportation, but this is just a theory.

Fortunately for Lanez, he does still have quite a few peers on his side despite his alleged crimes. Toosii, Wack 100, Drake, and more have shown him support in recent months. His prison stay hasn’t stopped him from dropping off new music either. Earlier this month, he unveiled two self-produced tracks he cooked up in 2016 alongside Play Picasso, “Girls Around The World” and “I’ve Been.” What do you think of Tory Lanez securing a small legal win in his alleged shooting case?

Lil Durk’s Alleged Son’s Stepfather Speaks Out After Supposed Shooting

July 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk learned of some pretty shocking developments recently, as his alleged ten-year-old son supposedly shot his stepfather during a July 1 dispute with the boy’s mother [not Smurk’s current partner, India Royale]. Footage of the incident quickly went viral on social media, and there are very little details about this situation available at press time. Presumably, the stepfather (named Joshua Pippens) is in a hospital bed right now according to some online reports, and he recently spoke out about the situation in multiple Instagram and IG Story posts. Even though this alleged fight, if it happened, was a very scary and combative situation, Pippens said that he still loves the boy as if he were his regardless.

“As y’all can see I was not the aggressor,” Pippens said of the situation with Lil Durk’s alleged son. “And y’all also can see how I still had my gun on my hip. He grabbed my gun off my hip following his moms lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me. I advise y’all see it before they take it down #buildawareness.” “My gun was on my hip and I was trying to protect myself from getting shot,” he added on his Instagram Story.

“I never in a million years thought a kid I bought 4 wheelers and paid for football leagues and everything would do this,” Joshua Pippens continued concerning Lil Durk’s alleged son. “But he only knows what mom shows him I still love him like he’s mines [middle finger emoji]. Whatever makes y’all feel better. That’s why I got custody of my kids and she don’t. Y’all so internet think [sic] god it was me that took the shot and not her. That’s still my daughters mom but she knows like ik [praying hands emoji] GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO ME SURVIVOR.”

Meanwhile, Lil Durk is fresh off his latest single “Went Hollywood For A Year,” and we can’t imagine he’s very happy about this news. It probably threw a wrench into his busy schedule, and we’ll see if he has anything to say about it. Hopefully all parties involved can get to the bottom of this and prevent future conflicts like this from happening. Perhaps there’s more about this incident that will emerge in the near future.

At the time of writing, the circumstances leading up to the incident remain unclear.

The stepfather in question, Joshua Pippens, took to Instagram yesterday to share the security footage.
“As y’all can see I was not the aggressor and y’all also can see how I still had my gun on my hip he grabbed my gun off my hip following his moms lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me I advise y’all see it before they take it down #buildawareness,” he captioned the clip.

Various online reports suggest that the boy was trying to defend his mother, though this is also unconfirmed. Lil Durk has yet to address the upsetting clip. As for Pippens, he’s been active on Instagram with various statements on the incident. “Whatever makes y’all feel better,” he wrote on his Story earlier today. “That’s why I got custody of my kids and she don’t y’all so internet think god it was me that took the shot and not her that’s still my daughters mom but she knows like ik [prayer emoji]. GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO ME SURVIVOR.”

Shyne Criticized For Not Paying Off Settlement To 1999 Shooting Victim

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shyne’s career was permanently disrupted in 1999. The rapper and heir apparent to Biggie was arrested and sentenced to a decade in prison for shooting a woman named Natania Reuben. Shyne has continued to release music, but his legacy is defined by this incident. Calling it a complicated legacy, however, is an understatement. Reuben claims that Shyne did not actually shoot her, but won a settlement against the rapper for his involvement in the incident. A settlement that he’s apparently yet to pay.

Natania Reuben blasted Shyne during an interview on The Art of Dialogue. She not only called the rapper names, but declared that he still owed her money. “Shyne did not shoot me because he didn’t, but Shyne is a con artist,” she claimed. “Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, we know Shyne was innocent.’ No, you don’t know… Because he’s far from innocent.” The concept that Shyne is “innocent” is something the rapper has been quick to put forth after his release. He told Chanel 5 Belize that he took the fall for artists who were more powerful than him. Reuben dismissed this narrative as being the rapper’s attempt at political power in his native country.

Shyne Has Maintained His Innocence In The Shooting

“He’s going to jockey off of me,” the shooting victim asserted. “Saying Shyne didn’t shoot me to try to leverage himself to get that prime minister seat. You ain’t nothing but a penny Annie Shyer, a shady car salesman, a dressed-up fraud, a liar.” Worse, still, according to Reuben, the rapper has yet to make good on his financial responsibilities. The victim claimed that the rapper is driving a Maybach around Belize, yet has not paid her what she is owed. “You still owe me money,” Reuben added. “In the settlement, Shyne was responsible… He didn’t have the money to pay [then].”

Natania Reuben was paid $1.8M by Diddy, however, after the incident. It was a sizable amount, but it also prompted decades of alleged harassment against Reuben at the mogul’s behest. The victim claimed that Diddy flattened the tires on her vehicle on several occasions. “Not only did he pew pew me in the face,” she stated. “He also set off a course of harassment against me for the past 24 years.” Diddy has repeatedly denied these claims.

Foolio’s IG Account Baffles Fans By Claiming He’ll “Never Die”

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Julio Foolio passed away from gunshot wounds after a shooting at his 26th birthday party. Reportedly, the Jacksonville rapper had been celebrating with friends at a Tampa Airbnb when police arrived and kicked them out. They then moved to a local hotel, where the shooting took place. As fans and peers continue to mourn the tragic and unexpected loss, some have become confused, as his Instagram profile has been active in recent days.

Last week, for example, the account left a comment under his longtime rival Yungeen Ace’s diss track, “Game Over.” It later posted a promotional video for a weed company that featured Foolio himself. Now, the account has shared an interesting message, again baffling fans. “I’ll Never Die I’m a DemiGod,” they captioned a clip from Foolio’s No Jumper interview.

Commenters are now questioning who was behind the strange post, and whether or not he was hacked. Some are even sharing conspiracy theories about the rapper’s passing, which are all completely unconfirmed. Others are simply arguing that the posts are in poor taste, and urging whoever’s behind them to stop. Foolio’s loved ones have yet to comment on the account’s latest activity, though his girlfriend Mani B shared a heartbreaking Tweet in the days after his death, revealing the detrimental impact it’s had on her.

“This s*** so unreal I just woke up and smiled and tried to wrap my arm around my boyfriend and realized his a** not even alive OR next to me,” she wrote last week. What do you think of Foolio’s Instagram account continuing to be active despite the rapper’s recent death? What about the account posting a remark about him never dying?

Polo G’s Mother Defends Filing For Restraining Order Against Her Daughter After Viral Shooting

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Polo G’s family drama has escalated with his mother, Stacia Mac, officially filing a domestic violence restraining order against her own daughter, Leilani. The move comes after a climatic incident back in April when the two came to blows. Mac claims Leilani returned home intoxicated after Easter and began attacking her inside her bedroom and breaking other property throughout the home. As tensions rose, Mac says she needed to use a gun to protect herself. A security camera captured the moment of the shooting in a video that went viral on social media afterward.

In a statement Mac posted on her Instagram Story, on Saturday, she admitted the clip is “distressing,” but argued: “Stacia Mac found herself in a position no one should ever face: having to defend her home and loved ones, especially from someone she deeply cares about. For months before this incident, Stacia was desperately trying to get help for her daughter, Leilani. She reached out to family and friends, seeking their support and urging them to join her in getting Leilani the professional care she needed. Tragically, her pleas went unheard, and Leilani’s mental health continued to decline, leading to increasingly erratic and ultimately violent behavior.”

In further posts, Mac fired back against various accusations Leilani has been making online. For one, she shared a receipt showing that she paid her son’s bond when he was under arrest in 2022. Leilani had allegedly claimed that Mac worked as a state’s witness in that case.

Polo G’s Mother Stacia Mac Wants Restraining Order Against Daughter After Viral Shooting

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, disturbing Ring camera footage featuring Polo G’s mother Stacia Mac and her daughter Leilani surfaced online and quickly went viral. In the footage, the two of them are seemingly engaged in a heated argument when Stacia storms out of her home allegedly holding a gun. She appeared to head in Leilani’s direction before firing off a gunshot. Fortunately, nobody was injured. It looks like their relationship has taken a serious hit as a result of the incident, however.

According to new court documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Stacia recently filed for a domestic violence restraining order against her daughter. She accuses Leilani of entering her home without her knowledge on April 1 of this year and attacking her. She then alleges that she proceeded to go around the house destroying several of her belongings.

After that, Stacia claims to have taken “defensive action” by firing off the gunshot. She called this a “desperate, last-ditch attempt” to get her daughter to leave the property. She says that Leilani’s father made arrangements for her to attend an alcohol detox facility in the days following the altercation, though it’s unclear whether or not she ended up going. In her filing, Stacia alleges that she’s done everything in her power to eliminate contact with Leilani, but continues to be brought up in her social media posts. She’s asked the judge to keep Leilani away from her homes in both Los Angeles and Georgia.

Polo G has yet to publicly address the situation. What do you think of Polo G’s mother Stacia Mac filing for a restraining order against her daughter Leilani?

Foolio Reportedly Dies At 26 After Tampa Birthday Party Shooting

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The hip-hop community is in mourning once again, as according to reports, Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio was shot and killed in Tampa this weekend. Based on various posts on his Instagram Story, he had been celebrating his 26th birthday with a pool party at a local Airbnb when police shut things down. After that, he and other attendees appeared to move to another location. Some reports suggest that this was a nearby Holiday Inn, where a shooting took place early this morning, killing one and leaving three others injured. Foolio’s involvement in this particular shooting is unconfirmed at the time of writing, however, and the exact circumstances leading up to his reported death remain unclear.

“Y’all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y’all & I won’t be the only one crying [broken heart emoji],” Foolio’s girlfriend Mani Tweeted earlier today. Other associates and loved ones are leaving heartfelt and emotional messages about his reported passing under his recent posts, many of which have to do with his aforementioned birthday celebration. “Rest in power,” one of them wrote today.

Foolio Reportedly Killed At Tampa Hotel

“God thank you for allowing me to see another Year & To celebrate another birthday,” the newly 26-year-old Tweeted on Friday (June 21). “Appreciate all the birthday wishes so far.” In another post, he expressed excitement as he arrived at the Airbnb where he planned to host his pool party. Sadly, this isn’t the first tragic and untimely loss hip-hop fans have seen as of late. Earlier this month, it was reported that 1017 artist Enchanting passed away shortly after being put on life support.

Again, the circumstances leading up to her death are unconfirmed. She was also only 26, and her passing resulted in countless heartfelt messages about her life and lasting legacy. Our sympathy goes out to Foolio’s loved ones as they mourn the tragic and unexpected loss. Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
