DJ Akademiks Reveals Why NBA YoungBoy Was Arrested By SWAT Team

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, NBA YoungBoy was arrested at his Utah home for his role in an alleged prescription drug fraud scheme. He’s been behind bars ever since, and reportedly, could be looking at a lengthy prison sentence. At the time of his arrest, YB was already on house arrest, awaiting trial for a federal weapons charge.

Last week, the rapper was hit with yet another gun charge after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. “I wish to plead guilty to the offense charged, to consent to the disposition of the case in the District of Utah in which I am present and to wave trial in the [Middle District of Louisiana],” his court filing read. His next court hearing is scheduled for September 4.

DJ Akademiks On NBA YoungBoy’s Legal Issues

During a recent livestream, DJ Akademiks discussed NBA YoungBoy’s ongoing legal issues, going back to his April arrest. According to the personality, a SWAT team was sent to arrest the 24-year-old. He claims this is because authorities thought they could be in for a fight. “Remember I told you, he got a militia up there, right?” Akademiks explained. “When they to go arrest him, they had to go with SWAT. All type of agencies because, again, not that this would happen, but technically, YB had enough firepower on that God damn mountain to do a nice ol’ standoff. Barricade or not, and probably would do decently in a shootout versus just regular police.”

Reportedly, NBA YoungBoy could face up to ten years behind bars, fines, and a period of supervised release for his alleged crimes. What do you think of DJ Akademiks claiming that a SWAT team was sent to arrest NBA YoungBoy this year? What about his explanation for why it played out this way?

Lil Baby Taunts Police In Wild Vegas Arrest Footage: Watch

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is currently hard at work on his upcoming album, but recently, he was forced to put things on hold due to some legal issues. Earlier this week, the rapper was arrested in Las Vegas for allegedly carrying a concealed weapon without a proper permit. Reportedly, he has a permit to do so in his home state of Georgia, but not in Nevada. He was taken to the Clark County Detention Center on Monday night, according to TMZ, and later released on $5,000 bail.

Now, the outlet has obtained footage of the arrest. In it, he’s heard telling officers to let him go, insisting that he has a license to carry a gun. Eventually, he got frustrated, encouraging officers to do a thorough search of his person because he had a “gun in his nuts.”

Lil Baby Tells Police Officers To Search Him Well

The footage ends with Lil Baby being led into a police truck. “To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit,” the artist’s lawyers told TMZ yesterday. “On his behalf we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.” Reportedly, he’s scheduled to appear in court on October 1. This wasn’t Lil Baby’s first run-in with the law, however. In June of this year, footage of him getting pulled over for having dark window tints back in 2020 also surfaced online. The year prior, he was arrested for alleged reckless driving.

He and James Harden were also confronted by French authorities in 2022 for alleged weed possession. Lil Baby was arrested and later released, having to pay a fine, and Harden was not taken into custody. What do you think of Lil Baby getting arrested earlier this week for alleged possession of an illegal weapon? What about footage of the incident surfacing online?

Lil Baby’s Las Vegas Arrest: New Details Emerge

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby’s attorneys, Drew Findling and David Chesnoff, say that the rapper has a valid permit to conceal carry and that they are currently investigating his recent arrest in Las Vegas. Despite having a permit in Georgia, the state of Nevada has its own permit for carrying a concealed firearm. “To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit,” his lawyers said in a statement. “On his behalf we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

According to TMZ, Baby was caught on video at the encore in Vegas being passed a gun. On Monday night, police brought him to the Clark County Detention Center, where he was being held on $5,000 bail. He ended up paying that off and has another court appearance scheduled for October 1.

It’s not the first time Baby has found himself behind bars. Back in 2014, police arrested him on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to sell. Speaking with Rolling Stone in 2017, he explained how he made a living dealing to several other artists on the Quality Control roster including Migos, Rich the Kid, and more. “Needed the money, more than anything,” he said at the time. “I knew all the drug dealers around my neighborhood. When I was like 10, 11, I was hanging out with a dude who was like 17. He was getting money to buy a car, having his own little spot. So he was a lot of my motivation, too.” After spending two years behind bars, he switched his focus to his music career.

Earlier this year, he also had a bit of a run-in with the law for having tinted windows on his car. He argued that he needed them to maintain privacy as a celebrity. Be on the lookout for further updates on Lil Baby on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Baby Arrested In Las Vegas: Details

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday, according to a new report from TMZ. Overall, the artist was arrested for allegedly carrying a concealed weapon. While this in and of itself does not warrant an arrest, he was allegedly doing so without a permit, which is, in fact, illegal. The artist was subsequently taken to the Clark County Detention Center. His bail was set at $5000 and as it stands, it is unknown whether or not he was released yet or not.

The artist is one of the biggest names in hip-hop right now. Ever since 2018, Lil Baby has been on a magical run that has included chart-topping albums, some truly massive singles, and a feature run that is more than impressive. In recent years, some fans have made complaints about his growth, although his last few efforts have gotten him back into the good graces of fans. Hopefully, he will be able to keep that momentum up.

Lil Baby Detained In Nevada

As for this arrest, it remains to be seen what will come from it. This is not the first time the artist has been arrested. Albeit, his previous arrests are for reckless driving and a minor marijuana possession offense in Paris, back in 2021. Regardless, this certainly isn’t what the artist was hoping for during his trip to the Casino capital of the United States.

This is a developing story and very few details are known at this juncture. However, we will be sure to bring you new information, as soon as it becomes available. Having said that, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the hip-hop world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

DaniLeigh’s DUI Hit-And-Run Arrest Footage Surfaces: “I’m A Singer!”

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In May of last year, DaniLeigh was arrested near Miami Beach for a hit-and-run. Reportedly, she hit a 17-year-old victim who was riding a moped, leaving him with various injuries. She was charged with a DUI causing serious injury, as well as three additional charges. She pleaded no contest to two of the charges in February and was sentenced to five years probation. Her other two charges, leaving the scene of a crime and another DUI charge, will be dismissed if she completes her probation.

Now, bodycam footage of her arrest has surfaced online, revealing exactly what took place only moments after the hit-and-run. In it, she argues with an officer while being taken away in handcuffs. “I’m a singer, you can’t arrest me,” she explained. “Okay?” the officer responded, sounding unimpressed.

DaniLeigh Argues With Officer During Arrest

Obviously, this wasn’t very persuasive to the police, and she was taken to jail anyway. At another point in the footage, DaniLeigh is seen sitting on the curb as an officer reprimands her for laughing despite the seriousness of the situation. Interestingly enough, Quavo even popped up briefly at this point, though it’s unclear exactly why he was there. “Yeah that’s Quavo, the Migos,” she told one of the cops. “Those are my boys.”

Reportedly, DaniLeigh took a Breathalyzer, which proved that her blood alcohol content was almost twice the legal limit. Her alleged victim reportedly suffered a lacerated kidney and a fractured spine. Shortly after the incident, he filed a civil lawsuit against her. It’s still pending in Miami-Dade Civil Court at the time of writing. What do you think of footage of DaniLeigh’s 2023 DUI hit-and-run surfacing online? What about her trying to convince officers not to arrest her simply because she’s a singer? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Travis Scott Files Motion To Dismiss Trespassing Charge After Miami Arrest

August 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In June, Travis Scott was arrested over a minor disagreement in Miami. Reportedly, he rented a yacht, and its owner stormed onboard at midnight telling him to leave. As a result, he told the man and his wife they were being disrespectful, and the situation escalated from there. Hours after his arrest, Scott was released and promptly got on a jet back to LA.

He was charged with disorderly intoxication and trespassing. Earlier this month, his disorderly intoxication charge got dropped, though he was still on the hook for alleged trespassing. According to TMZ, however, his lawyer Bradford Cohen filed a motion yesterday to get that dismissed too. The motion claims that signs warning against trespassing were visible on the private property surrounding the Miami Beach Marina, where he was arrested. The marina itself didn’t have any visible signs, according to the motion.

Travis Scott’s Lawyer Argues Insufficient Signage In Dismissal Motion

It’s to be seen whether or not the motion will be granted. Scott’s Miami arrest wasn’t the only legal trouble he’s run into as of late, however. He was also arrested in Paris this month after getting into a fight with his bodyguard. He was quickly released and faces no charges over the incident.

On the bright side, Scott is also currently gearing up to drop his fan-favorite mixtape Days Before Rodeo on streaming services. Reportedly, it’s scheduled to arrive on DSPs on August 23 in honor of the project’s tenth anniversary. What do you think of Travis Scott’s legal team filing a motion to dismiss his trespassing charge earlier this week? What about them arguing that signs weren’t visible at the marina?

NBA YoungBoy Hit With Yet Another Gun Charge After Guilty Plea

August 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy is facing another federal gun charge after authorities filed a new charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon against him. According to court documents obtained by WAFB, prosecutors made the claim in the United States District Court for the District of Utah on Monday.

He had been involved in a shooting in South Baton Rouge. After his 2020 arrest in Louisiana, YoungBoy was initially allowed to stay on house arrest in Utah.

The latest update comes after YoungBoy successfully got his 2020 gun case moved from Louisiana to Utah; however, he had to agree to plead guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm to do so. “I wish to plead guilty to the offense charged, to consent to the disposition of the case in the District of Utah in which I am present and to wave trial in the [Middle District of Louisiana],” he said in a court filing. His change of plea hearing is scheduled for September 4.

Prior to his arrest in April, he dropped the track, “Tears Of War.” It served as the final song he recorded before federal agents raided his property and took him into custody.

Skai Jackson Avoids Discussing Arrest By Answering Fake Questions On TikTok Live

August 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Skai Jackson was reportedly arrested for alleged domestic battery after having a fight with her boyfriend at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. Authorities were called to the CityWalk area of the theme park after she and her boyfriend were spotted arguing, per TMZ. According to TMZ, she pushed him more than once. Her boyfriend’s identity is still a mystery to the public. She has rarely featured him on her social media pages.

Security reportedly detained Skai Jackson and her boyfriend until law enforcement arrived. When law enforcement arrived, they arrested Jackson for a misdemeanor domestic battery. After deputies reviewed the footage and saw that she pushed him, they cited Jackson. Authorities released her hours later. Jackson and her boyfriend denied that anything got physical between them. Additionally, she told law enforcement that they are engaged and currently expecting a baby.

Skai Jackson Ignores Fan Questions About Recent Arrest

Viewers started writing “JAIL” over and over again and baby girl squinted and made up another question

In a TikTok livestream on Wednesday, Skai Jackson decided not to address her recent legal issues. After a fan asked her what happened at Universal Studios, she opted to go into detail about a new show she finished filming. The same day, she made a sponsored post with Cantu Beauty, limiting the comments to those that follow her so that she didn’t get bombarded with comments about the situation. She also disabled comments on her previous posts. At that point, disgruntled fans accused her of ignoring the questions by making up fake ones. None of the “questions” she actually answered were visible on the screen at any point.

Of course, younger fans will best remember Skai Jackson for her time on Disney Channel. She played Zuri Ross on the hit show Jessie from 2011 to 2015. She reprised the role on the first three seasons of Bunk’d, a spin-off series, from 2015 to 2018. In 2020, Jackson finished in fifth place on the 29th season of Dancing With The Stars. She most recently appeared in The Man In The White Van, a thriller film starring Sean Astin, Ari Larter, and Madison Wolfe, scheduled for a theatrical release in North America on October 11. Based on her recent stream, she has another project on the way. It is possible that she isn’t answering questions since the case is has not yet been resolved, but it is unlikely that she’ll ever address it at all.

Skai Jackson and her representatives are yet to comment on the incident. Jackson is also not the first from Disney Channel to have a run-in with the law. Orlando Brown, Kelli Berglund, and Jackson’s Jessie co-star Debby Ryan are among the names to deal with legal issues in their post-Disney careers. Hopefully, this case has a swift resolution for all involved.

BossMan Dlow Has Fans Cracking Up With His Old Mugshot

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BossMan Dlow has had to deal with a lot of Internet narratives these days, but this most recent one is fortunately more light despite its connection to a more serious situation. Moreover, a lot of fans are responding comically to a mugshot of his that went viral over the weekend, seemingly connected to a 2019 arrest and sentence. “Looking like a school cafeteria lady,” “‘I wasn’t broke I was f***ed up,’” and “My mans look like he cries easily” were among the most popular comments of the post below. At least the rapper can look back at this in retrospect, and at least it has nothing to do with DJ Vlad.

For those unaware, the VladTV host recently accused BossMan Dlow’s alleged manager Chris Silvers of finessing him for an interview, but the “2 Slippery” MC says that he has no idea who Silvers is. “My Manager @tymeoutt… It In All My Bio’s Never Heard of a mf Chris Silvers in my Life [crying-laughing and crying emojis],” the BossMan responded to Vlad. “Yup – we were contacted from the same phone number that you listed on your official IG bio. Here is the proof. Like I said be a batter Bossman and get a real manager on your team,” the media personality clapped back.

“I want to warn everyone out there who is booking @bossman_dlow,” Vlad had originally expressed concerning the alleged BossMan Dlow situation. “We recently gave his manager Chris Silvers a small deposit for an interview. After getting the deposit, he asked for 4 times the agreed upon amount and refused to return the deposit. D Low, you need to be a better Bossman and hire a real manager if you want to succeed in this business long-term.”

Meanwhile, BossMan Dlow might actually feel a type of way about these responses to his mugshot. After all, he recently went through some more legal trouble after authorities seemed to arrest him in Florida. That situation is still pretty unclear, so we’ll see if the near future holds an explanation. For now, this is at least the most innocuous situation that Dlow faced as of late.
