Wiz Khalifa Apologizes To Romania Following Over Drug Possession Arrest

by

Wiz Khalifa was arrested following his set at the Beach Please! Festival in Costinesti, Romania on July 13. The rapper was charged with illegal drug possession before being released from custody the same day. In a statement translated by The Hollywood Reporter, the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) stated that Khalifa was in possession of 18 grams of cannabis, a “risk drug.” DIICOT also accused him of smoking a “handmade cigarette” on stage.

Cannabis is illegal for recreational use in Romania, and though it is permitted for medical reasons, the government has not made it fully legal. Possession of the drug is punishable by up to ten years in prison, or a fine of up to 20,000 RON (about 4,400 USD). Following his arrest, Khalifa took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue an apology to the country of Romania and Romanian authorities.

Wiz Khalifa often refers to cannabis usage in his lyrics, and it has been a defining characteristic of his music. Despite the arrest, Khalifa has had a great year otherwise. Last month, he used Father’s Day to reveal that he and girlfriend Aimee Aguilar were expecting their first child together. In April, he performed his hit single “See You Again” at Drai’s Beachclub, paying tribute to recently deceased rappers. Some names included Takeoff, XXXTentacion, and DMX, flashing their images on screen.

Wiz Khalifa has other overseas concerts he will perform at this year, including taking a trip to Thailand for Rolling Loud in November. A$AP Rocky, Tyla, Ski Mask The Slump God, and many more are set to perform as well. The incident is the latest example of a rapper being arrested for drug-related reasons in a European country. Just two months ago, police arrested Nicki Minaj in Amsterdam on suspicion of cannabis possession. She denied the drugs belonged to her, instead claiming that they belonged to her security. Minaj, like Khalifa, was charged and quickly released. Hopefully, these issues have a quick resolution and this won’t affect any future opportunities that may arise for Khalifa.

Chandler Jones Arrest Video Shows NFL Player Rambling About His Career, Making Bizarre Requests Of The Cops

by

TMZ has released the arrest video from Chandler Jones’ arrest for violating a domestic violence protection order last month. Jones was approached by police officers while parked outside the home of his ex-girlfriend. “I want you to grab me and take me out. Please,” Jones could be heard saying before trying to explain why he was outside his ex’s place. “I’m sorry about this. The reason why I’m here is because I was taking out her trash, and I was just dropping off the dumpster in the backseat. No problem.”

However, Jones grew more agitated as he was arrested. “Look at me. I’m 6’5. I’m a professional athlete, bro. I have 112 sacks — I play for the Raiders,” Jones said when officers tried to place him in a squad car. “Sir, can you take me to jail, sir? Because I’ll make louder noises, and make a sheriff come out here. Take me to jail now, or I’ll make louder noises,” he said later. However, he grew more agitated still. “Sir! Oh my God! I need help! Help! Give him the key!”

Jones Arrested For Second Protection Order Violation

However, it wasn’t long before Jones found himself back in a cell. Earlier this month, Jones was once again arrested in Las Vegas for the violation of a domestic violence protective order. Details about the arrest were not immediately made available. However, the arrest came three weeks after Jones was initially detained on the same charge. In that instance, Jones was accused of going to a woman’s home, taking several personal items from her yard, and then burning them on his property.

Jones’ first arrest came after a turbulent series of posts on social media. After a livestream in which he burst into tears after saying Aaron Hernandez didn’t kill himself, Jones shared a positive interaction with Antonio Brown before leaving social media to go to a strip club. He was reportedly arrested for violating a domestic violence protective order and posted bond later on Friday. Jones had a court date in early December concerning the first arrest. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.

6ix9ine Is Confused In New Body Cam Footage Of His Arrest

by

It looks like 6ix9ine was in more legal trouble than people believed, at least based on new body cam footage that surfaced of a recent arrest. Moreover, the rainbow-haired rapper himself looked and sounded quite confused in the clip as an officer cuffed him. Readers might be thinking that this traffic stop relates to his recent incarceration for failing to show up in court amid his credit card debt case. However, the officers mention a traffic warrant for driving an unregistered vehicle, but one of them does also mention to him that Tekashi didn’t pay his fees or show up in court. As such, the situation is a bit hazy, but given his recent video working out at a Planet Fitness after getting beat up at an LA Fitness, it seems like he was able to handle both.

Regardless, the footage shows officers asking 6ix9ine for his license and registration as he holds a large stack of documents in the driver’s seat. “I don’t know which is which,” the New York artist says. Then, he starts to question the officers about getting sent to jail over a traffic warrant. In footage from within the police car, the “Shaka Laka” provocateur says that all his cars are under his brother’s name, and that he already handled registration.

Body Cam Footage Of 6ix9ine’s Arrest

Furthermore, in the timestamp of the video, you can see that this took place on August 9 of this year. That lines up closely with 6ix9ine’s arrest for the court no-show in his credit card debt case, so maybe it’s a case of conflicting reports. Still, that’s probably going to be something he will continue to deal with in the future. After all, when you’re dealing with American Express, you can’t escape easily.

Meanwhile, considering the 27-year-old’s massive success, paying six figures in that case shouldn’t be too much of a headache. Anything could be the case, but nothing’s stopped him from boasting and trolling online before. We’ll see if the next few days or weeks hold more legal developments for the controversial star. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on 6ix9ine.

Video From Marquise Brown’s 2022 Speeding Arrest Released

by

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown received a less-than-ideal welcome to Arizona after being traded to the Cardinals last year. In August, the wide receiver was arrested for speeding. Reportedly, Brown was going 126 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. After being detained on Arizona State Route 101, Brown was booked into Maricopa County Jail for a Class 3 misdemeanor. The punishment for Brown’s arrest was not made public. Furthermore, Brown was not punished by the NFL for the incident. “We are aware of the situation regarding Hollywood Brown and have reported it to the NFL office as required,” the Cardinals said in a statement. “We will comment further as appropriate.”

Brown was traded on Draft Day 2022, moving from Baltimore to Arizona along with a third-round pick in exchange for a first-round pick. While the move reunited Brown with his college quarterback Kyler Murray, he had a down season in the desert. He was unable to replicate his 1000-yard season from 2021 and finished the year with 709 yards and three touchdowns. However, 2023 should be a bounce-back year following the departure of the previous WR1, DeAndre Hopkins. Despite this, people are once again talking about Brown’s arrest after TMZ obtained and released the arresting officer’s bodycam footage.

Brown Arrest Video Released

The video shows the arresting officer acting incredibly aggressively with the NFL receiver. After pulling Brown over, the officer moves to Brown’s vehicle and begins attempting to open the door while demanding that Brown “get out of the car right now.” When asked “why the hell he was going that fast,” Brown explains that he was going to football practice. As the officer continues to chastise Brown, Brown, who appears very compliant and polite, repeatedly explains that he is “new here.”

The officer appears calmer once back in his cruiser with Brown, referring to him as “bro” and explaining how to identify the carpool lanes, which Brown was also reportedly driving in. It’s not an especially exciting arrest video, as Brown is very compliant and eager not to anger the officer. That’s a major contrast to the recently released arrest video of DJ Hernandez. In that arrest video, the former college QB is seen asking officers to “shoot me” before being tased as he tried to approach them.

Arrest Video Shows Aaron Hernandez’s Brother Asking Police To Shoot Him

by

DJ Hernandez, the older brother of Aaron Hernandez, was arrested on July 18. Hernandez had been accused of planning a mass shooting, with a woman who lived with Hernandez claiming that he had spent time scouting the campuses of UConn and Brown. Hernandez played for UConn between 2005 and 2007 and for Brown in 2010 and 2011. Furthermore, prior to his arrest, Hernandez had been posting increasingly concerning comments on social media. “Will I kill? Absolutely,” one post read in part. Hernandez had previously been arrested in March after throwing a bag of bricks onto the ESPN campus in Bristol, Connecticut, where Hernandez also lived.

Following the reports from a woman who lived with Hernandez about his planning mass shooting, police moved to apprehend Hernandez. According to the Bristol PD, Hernandez emerged from his home and repeatedly asked the police to shoot him. Additionally, he later had been incapacitated using a stun gun after threatening to kill the on-scene officers. While being transported to a hospital, Hernandez reportedly told officers he planned to kill anyone who had “profited” from his brother. Aaron Hernandez, who took his own life in 2017, played for the University of Florida before joining the New England Patriots.

Hernandez Arrest Video Confirms Suicide By Cop Plea

TMZ has since released the bodycam footage taken during Hernandez’s arrest. Hernandez is seen approaching officers with hands raised and can be heard repeatedly saying “shoot me.” Hernandez is then shot with a taser as he continues to walk towards the arresting officer. As he is being restrained, Hernandez says “It’s not fair, no one listens. I don’t do this shit. Dude, I need your help.” It’s unclear what Hernandez is referring to in that moment.

UConn said in a statement that it determined at the time that there was “no known imminent threat” while Brown issued a statement saying they had no record of Hernandez returning to the campus in recent weeks. As for the next steps, Hernandez will appear in court on August 1. He is facing charges including threatening, breach of peace and failure to appear in court. The latter of those charges stems from a July court date Hernandez skipped in relation to the ESPN incident. Currently, Hernandez is being held in lieu of a $250,000 bond.
