Jay-Z Turned His Back On Beanie Sigel Amid Attempted Murder Trial, Former Roc-A-Fella Rapper Claims

June 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in 2004, Beanie Sigel went on trial for alleged attempted murder, as he was accused of firing six shots at a man outside of a Philly bar during an argument. The man was struck twice, once in the stomach and once in the foot. Jay-Z took the stand at one point in the trial, but according to Oschino, he might as well have stayed home.

During a recent interview with Say Cheese, the rapper weighed in on the trial, criticizing Jay-Z for seemingly turning his back on Sigel. He recalled showing up for court and hearing the Roc Nation founder’s testimony, expressing shock that he opted not to fully vouch for his friend. “I came to court for Beanie when he allegedly shot somebody,” he told the outlet. “JAY-Z got on the stand and they said, ‘Are you gonna be responsible for him if we let him go?’ JAY-Z said, ‘No.’ I was there. This ain’t hearsay; this was me in the courtroom.”

Oschino Criticizes Jay-Z For Beanie Sigel Trial

“I was just thinking, ‘What did he come to court for then?’ If I got a homie and all I gotta say is, ‘I’m responsible for him for him to get out,’ I’m saying it every time […] The judge was trying to give him an out. He said, ‘No,’” Oschino continued. “And nobody didn’t say nothing, nobody flinched. Mind you, I’m a jail n***a so I’m looking around like, ‘Nobody not saying nothing?!’ Like it was normal […] Maybe I’m too street in my thinking and maybe he was being more responsible, but I was thinking, ‘Man, these boys is different.’”

ASAP Rocky’s Alleged Shooting Trial Gets Official Start Date

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, a judge scheduled an official date for the beginning of ASAP Rocky’s upcoming trial, after he pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree assault involving a semi-automatic firearm in January. The charges come from a 2021 incident that allegedly took place outside of a hotel in Hollywood. He’s accused of pointing a gun at his former childhood friend and collaborator ASAP Relli, shooting in his direction various times, and grazing his hand once.

Superior Court Judge Karla Kerlin determined that preliminary hearings will take place on June 28 and August 2 of this year, and the trial will officially begin on October 21. ASAP Rocky was not present in court when she made her decision. Kerlin’s ruling comes after Judge ML Villar ruled that there is sufficient evidence for the rapper to stand trial, despite his attorneys pushing back.

ASAP Rocky’s Trial To Begin On October 21, 2024

In court today, Kerlin also noted that ASAP Rocky has until July 19 to file a planned motion to dismiss the case. After the performer entered his not-guilty pleas earlier this year, his lawyer Joe Tacopina appeared confident in his ability to prove his client’s innocence and indicated that they wouldn’t be seeking a plea deal. “We’re going to try the case in the courtroom,” he told reporters at the time. “And when we do, facts will come out that show that he’s truly innocent. And that he’s a victim in this case.”

What do you think of ASAP Rocky’s upcoming trial getting an official start date at the end of October? What about the charges he’s facing? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tory Lanez “Antagonized” Megan Thee Stallion Amid Legal Battle, Wack 100 Alleges

May 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In August of last year, Tory Lanez was sentenced to ten years in prison after being found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. Despite his conviction, fans have continued to debate whether or not they believe the rapper is guilty of harming the “Hiss” performer, with many insisting that he’s innocent. Wack 100 is one of them, and he’s made it clear that he thinks Meg has been lying this entire time.

In fact, earlier this year he claimed that there’s footage of the shooting that would cost the femcee her whole career. Of course, there’s no evidence that this actually exists. Regardless, he continues to speak his mind about the case.

During his recent appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Wack shared his take on Meg, accusing her of lying. He says that she may have simply been intoxicated the night of the shooting. Therefore, he thinks she doesn’t really remember what happened at all. According to him, it’s possible that Tory Lanez’s treatment of Meg after the incident was what actually caused the legal battle to escalate.

“She’s a liar, not a snitch,” Wack began. “Oh it’s f*cked up, [the receipts] are coming out one way or another. They’re just delaying it cuz they’re trying to get it in court. If they can’t get it in court, it’s gonna hit the net. And when it hits the net, they’re gonna see that there’s an innocent man in jail… I believe that he antagonized her to a point where she got upset. And women can be vindictive and women can be evil.” What do you think of Wack 100 alleging that Tory Lanez “antagonized” Megan Thee Stallion?

Lil Baby Music Video Shooting: Chilling 911 Audio Captures Frantic Moments Of Gunfire

May 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, it was reported that three men were injured on the set of a Lil Baby music video after shots were fired. At the time, Fox 5 revealed that the men who were shot were not directly involved in the video shoot. “There may have been individuals involved in the totality of the production,” Major Ralph Woolfolk told the outlet.

Reportedly, one 24-year-old man was shot in the arm, a 27-year-old man was shot in the back, and a 23-year-old man was shot in the neck. Immediately after the shooting, the three men were said to be “alert, conscious, and breathing.” No further details of their condition have been revealed at the time of writing, though they’re all expected to make full recoveries. It also remains unclear what prompted the shooting. Witnesses on the scene, however, claim that two unspecified parties had gotten into an altercation. Lil Baby was not involved, nor injured.

Man Informs Operator Of Shooting In New 911 Audio

Now, new 911 audio obtained by “TMZ” unveils the frightening moments of the shooting. In the audio, a frantic caller informs an Atlanta operator of the incident, and various gunshots are heard in the background. The phone is then passed off to another man. He details the injuries of the individual who was shot in the neck. Reportedly, paramedics were already administering aid to the victims when officers arrived on the scene. TMZ also reports that several vehicles were impounded as evidence. Lil Baby has yet to address the incident.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Lil Baby has found himself in close proximity to gun violence. In September of last year, his concert in Memphis was cut short and the venue was evacuated after a shot was fired in the crowd. The shooting left one man injured, who’s since recovered, and Lil Baby was unharmed. Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Officials are urging the public to provide them with any and all information they may have on the suspect’s whereabouts.

Three Men Shot During The Production Of A Lil Baby Music Video

May 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The production of a Lil Baby music video came to a screeching halt on May 14. According to Fox 5, a shooting broke out at the Atlanta location where the video was being filmed. Three men were shot and injured as a result. Police claim that the men were not directly involved in the music video, but may have been involved in an extracurricular capacity. “There may have been individuals involved in the totality of the production,” noted Major Ralph Woolfolk.

The shooting took place near a commercial strip on Verbena Street. It’s estimated that shots rang out at 4:50 PM on Tuesday evening, at which point two victims were visibly struck. The first was a 24-year-old man who was shot in the arm, and the second was a 27-year-old man who was shot in the back. Police later discovered a third victim, a 23-year-old-man, who was shot in the neck. They did not immediately see him on the scene because the man drove himself to the hospital first. All three victims are currently listed as “alert, conscious, and breathing.”

Lil Baby Was Not Harmed In The Shooting

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Police were initially hesitant to confirm the identity of the rapper who was shooting the music video, but it was quickly determined that it was indeed Lil Baby. The rapper was spotted near the set shortly before the shooting broke out. He was also captured on the Instagram Story of a local woman. The Shade Room confirmed that Lil Baby was unharmed. A spokesperson for the “Yes Indeed” hitmaker stated that neither Lil Baby nor his production team were involved in the shooting. More details to come.

This is not the first time Lil Baby has been indirectly tied to a shooting. A man named Kevin Young was arrested for firing a gun during the rapper’s 2023 concert in Memphis. The incident led to the concert being cut short, and Lil Baby was rushed off stage by his security team. Only one person was wounded as a result of Young’s actions, but he was subsequently treated at a nearby hospital.

Lil Baby Artist Dirty Tay Gets 17-Year Sentence For Allegedly Shooting Toddler In The Head

His girlfriend, who was with him during the traffic stop, was also taken into custody at the time. Reportedly, authorities found a gun on her person which allegedly belonged to Dirty Tay.

Rod Wave Arrested: What We Know

April 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rod Wave is a 25-year-old rapper from St. Petersburg, Florida. He is best known for his work on tracks such as “Checkmate,” “Heart On Ice,” and “Rags2Riches.” Last week, the soul-trap pioneer became embroiled in a shooting scandal, leaving him briefly incarcerated. Luckily, Rod Wave is already home following his April 3 arrest. Still, the rapper remains under investigation for several items that may, in fact, link him to the crime. Details are still murky as investigators dig deeper into the shooting. Regardless, here’s everything we know about Rod Wave’s arrest at this time.

The Shooting Occurred In A St. Petersburg Bar

According to authorities, the incident happened on the evening of Easter Sunday at Sonic Sports Bar and Lounge. The location was hosting an event which drew a large crowd. This means the shooting could’ve been a random act of violence or a targeted assault on one or more patrons. By all accounts, Rod Wave was not present at the scene during the time that the shooting took place. However, the multiple gunmen are said to have sped off in a vehicle registered to the Florida rapper.

Once authorities traced the vehicle, they discovered it parked at a residence that Rod Wave was renting and subsequently searched the property. The search resulted in multiple assault rifles being recovered, as well as two pounds of marijuana and several other items that have been tagged as additional evidence. Shortly after that, Rod Wave was arrested by authorities under the charge of possession of ammunition by a convicted felon.

Rod Wave Was Freed The Same Day He Was Arrested

A post shared by Bradford Cohen (@lawronin)

Rod Wave was let go for several reasons. Notably, the rapper was incorrectly charged and listed as a convicted felon despite having never been convicted of a crime. Wave’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, elucidated on these erroneous charges in a statement to the press. The lawyer stated, “Rod was arrested and detained with absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing. The police claimed he was a felon in possession of ammunition. Not only was he not in possession of ammunition, a basic check of public records would have easily demonstrated to the police that he was not a convicted felon. The prosecutor and the judge immediately agreed that the evidence did not support the charge and set him free the same day.”

In the aftermath of Rod Wave’s arrest, authorities identified several suspects, including 20-year-old Kevontre Wesby, 21-year-old Keith Wesby, and 24-year-old Christopher Atkins. These young men are allegedly involved with a local gang and are currently considered primary suspects in the ongoing investigation. Their affiliation with Rod Wave is unknown.

Luckily, Nobody Was Killed

The incident, luckily, hasn’t resulted in any deaths, as reports indicate none of the victims were treated for life-threatening injuries. Several individuals between the ages of 17 and 29 sustained minor injuries, and six motor vehicles were pierced with gunfire during the March 29 shootout. For now, Rod Wave is a free man. However, authorities still have questions regarding his affiliation with the suspects, including the use of his vehicle as a getaway ride and the guns and drugs found in his rented residence.

Diddy Was Allegedly Involved In Recording Studio Shooting, Lil Rod Claims

March 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s image and likeness has to be at an all-time low at this point. The rap legend’s legacy could be all ruined no matter how all of these allegations and lawsuits play out. The Harlem, New York native has been hit with sexual assault claims, treating co-workers unfairly, and everything in between. Furthermore, there are some believers and rumors floating around that Diddy and Meek Mill were intimately involved with one another. Now, Lil Rod, one of his most recent accusers, is back with some more serious declarations. According to him Diddy was an integral part in a recording studio shooting in Los Angeles.

Uproxx recently reported that this all happened in September 2022 at a producers’ camp at Chalice Recording Studio in LA. Lil Rod says that the shooting involving Diddy all went down after he heard gunshots following an quarrel in a bathroom. In the ensuing moments, Rod recalls that he saw him along with his son, Justin, leave the room. When Rod entered the producer saw Justin’s friend, “G,” on the ground with blood flowing out of his leg.

Diddy’s Image Continues To Be Tarnished

Furthermore, Diddy said that the reason “G” was bleeding was because of a drive-by, which Rod claims he was told to tell police that. However, there might be a plot hole in the producer’s allegations. The LAPD report says that the shooting involving “G” happened a few blocks away during failed robbery attempt. Additionally, police arrested three people two months later, crediting them with the shooting, most likely the assailants who were trying to rob “G.” Finally, Diddy’s attorney, who has had a busy past couple of months, says that he was not at the camp when the shooting went down.

What are your thoughts on Lil Rod accusing Diddy of a shooting incident at a recording studio? How do you think this allegation will play out? After all of these claims and lawsuit what will be Diddy’s fate? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.
