Travis Scott Released From Paris Prison With No Charges

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott has been released from prison in Paris, where he found himself in legal trouble after getting into a fight with his bodyguard at a hotel. He won’t be facing any charges related to the incident, according to TMZ. “Travis Scott has been released with no charges,” a representative for Scott told the outlet. They further added that there “were no injuries to any other party including his security.”

Authorities first arrested him on Friday around 5:00 AM at the George V Hotel. “I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, shortly after 5 a.m., the police were called to the Georges V Hotel and arrested the man nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard,” the Paris prosecutor’s officer said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. “The latter had himself intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard. The 1st judicial police district was seized of the investigation by the Paris prosecutor’s office.”

Scott has been staying in the French city to watch the Olympic Games. On Thursday night, he and Quavo attended a USA men’s basketball game against Serbia. The two sat courtside as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, as well as Kevin Durant and more NBA stars led an incredible comeback to advance to the gold medal match against France.

Earlier in the trip, Scott found himself in more drama after paparazzi pestered him following an apparent studio session. He went off on them, labeling the group the “weirdest amount of people” he’d ever met. “Go to sleep. How old are you? […] Y’all [are] too grown for this. Go get something. Catch a vibe,” he remarked.

TI Breaks His Silence On Recent Arrest

August 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

T.I. went through some legal turmoil recently, as authorities reportedly arrested him in what might be a case of mistaken identity. However, after TMZ caught up with him in Beverly Hills on Thursday (August 8), fans now know that he doesn’t feel too pressed about it. “They was just doing they job,” the Atlanta legend remarked to the interviewer about his brief run-in with the police. “Upset by it? I try to get rid of emotion and deal with the facts at hand. So once you deal with the facts at hand, your emotions ain’t involved. I don’t know, man, I mean, it sucks to say man. But at least this time, man, it was minor injury, maximum lesson learned. It’s all good. I have no interest in politics, y’all be good.”

“This case highlights a concern that the State’s Attorney has raised previously and uncovers legislative changes that should be considered to ensure fair and appropriate use of the court commissioner’s office, including allowing input from our prosecutors before an arrest warrant is issued,” a Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office representative expressed concerning the T.I. case. “We are investigating the circumstances surrounding the issuance of charges and the warrant in this case.” There are still some doubts over whether this incident involved mistaken identity, though, as a woman accused him and Tiny of physical assault and harassment.

Speaking of T.I. and Tiny, the court recently dismissed a lawsuit against them alleging sexual assault. “The court agreed with Tip and Tameka that Jane Doe doesn’t appear to have any viable claims,” a spokesperson for the couple relayed to AllHipHop. “As Tip and Tameka stated three years ago, these allegations are some of the many false, salacious allegations [in] the media in a cheap attempt to extort money from them.”

“All the claims asserted in the Complaint are time-barred because the statute of limitations for such claims has long expired over sixteen years ago,” T.I. and Tiny’s attorneys posited. “Further, notwithstanding the fact that Defendants Clifford Harris (‘Mr. Harris’) and Tameka Harris (‘Mrs. Harris’) (collectively ‘Defendants’ or ‘Harrises’), deny that any of the alleged conduct even occurred, the Complaint fails to allege facts to sufficiently establish any of the claims alleged in the Complaint.”

Lil Reese Blasts The Media For Coverage Of His Arrest After Case Dismissal

August 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Reese went through a bit of a legal rollercoaster as of late, as authorities arrested him in Los Angeles after a woman accused him of sexual assault at a hotel. Boosie Badazz revealed the news to his social media followers, even though back then, we still didn’t know the circumstances behind the situation. However, it seems like Reese is starting to get past this situation, as he posted evidence of the court dismissing his case and joked about getting the money that his accuser allegedly stole from him back so he can make up his bond payment. While little details exist of the incident and the legal steps to follow, he’s feeling himself and blasting the media for misrepresenting this development.

“@theshaderoom @tmz_tv The same way yall was posting that false azzz information like I did some to a bitc when I kno it was bap post this. Case dismissed my first court face fuc u mean [three thumbs-down emojis],” Lil Reese shared to his Instagram Story this week. “Na it’s time to go get that 25k back from 12 they took from her that she tried to steal and couldn’t get away wit it and get bond money back [nine crying emojis].”

“Now what they gotta say on bd im ready to sue [four crying emojis] [two thumbs-down emojis],” Lil Reese relayed in another post to his Instagram Story, adding even more later on. “S/o to @torrencehatchig boosie You first n***a knew I was innocent when it happen I get b***hesss f**k I gotta take some for [five crying emojis].” “On My sister Ree Ree the whole story cap and made up,” he had said of the allegations.

“Fuc I look Like this ain’t that I know better,” Lil Reese continued. “And the same way y’all posting that shi make sure yall post the case get thrown out on my court date. They do anything for clout and tryna come up try again.” Elsewhere, Lil Reese also faced a bit of controversy for allegedly inciting violence as related to Bhad Bhabie’s experience of abuse with her boyfriend, so it’s a rough time for the Chicago rapper and his fans right now.

Travis Scott’s Heated Police Confrontation Captured In Bodycam Footage From Miami Arrest

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, a minor disagreement on a Miami yacht landed Travis Scott in jail. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and trespassing. Luckily, the hitmaker was released within hours, and on a private jet back to LA. Today, it was reported that the state of Florida has decided to move forward with a misdemeanor trespassing charge against him. He’ll go to trial next month. On the upside, they dropped the disorderly intoxication charge.

Now, however, police bodycam footage from his arrest has been obtained by TMZ. In it, he argues with officers as they repeatedly question why he returned to the yacht despite being told to leave. Scott tells them that when they initially asked if he’d left anything behind, he was freaked out by all of the cops. For this reason, he says he forgot some of his belongings on board. He got heated, and eventually, they put handcuffs on him.

Travis Scott Taken Into Custody Over Yacht Dispute

Footage from his initial encounter with police has also been uncovered. It shows Scott jumping off the yacht to chat with an officer. When asked what happened, he simply explained that he had rented the yacht, and its owner kicked down the door just before midnight claiming he had to leave. From there, he says he told the owner it was “disrespectful” to have entered the room like that, and added that the owner’s wife was “trippin.” At the beginning of this clip, he says that there was a lady with a firearm “threatening,” though it’s unclear whether or not the owner’s wife was who he was referring to.

While this run-in surely put a damper on the performer’s good time, he seemed to get over it pretty quickly. He even dropped merch featuring his mugshot the very next day. What do you think of the new bodycam footage from Travis Scott’s Miami arrest? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

TI’s Atlanta Arrest May Not Have Been A Case Of Mistaken Identity

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, TI’s trip to an Atlanta airport took a bizarre turn, as he was mistaken for a man wanted for stalking and domestic violence. Reportedly, law enforcement responded to an active warrant from Baltimore for Clifford Harris, which is TI’s government name. He was arrested and taken to Clayton County jail, though his attorney got him out within hours.

“This case highlights a concern that the State’s Attorney has raised previously and uncovers legislative changes that should be considered to ensure fair and appropriate use of the court commissioner’s office, including allowing input from our prosecutors before an arrest warrant is issued,” a spokesperson for the Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office said of the debacle. “We are investigating the circumstances surrounding the issuance of charges and the warrant in this case.”

New Details Of TI’s Arrest Revealed

Now, however, a new report by The Baltimore Banner suggests that this may not have been a case of mistaken identity after all. Aside from TI’s full government name, the woman wrote his birth date in court documents, accusing him and his wife of harassment. “I was hit and beat up punched, stalked and harassed me on the dates I gave,” Crystal Gorham Gorham wrote. “I was threatened to be murdered by this individual.”

This isn’t the only legal situation TI has been dealing with as of late, however. In July, he and his wife Tiny filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by an anonymous woman. She accuses them of drugging and assaulting her. They deny the allegations, and argued that “the statute of limitations for such claims has long expired.” What do you think of TI getting arrested earlier this month?

Foolio Murder Suspect Promises To “Be Home Soon” Despite Arrest

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As fans and loved ones continue to mourn the tragic and untimely death of Foolio, investigators have made some progress, arresting four individuals accused of carrying out the murder. The Jacksonville rapper was shot at a Tampa Holiday Inn back in June, where he was celebrating his 26th birthday with friends.Sean Gathright, Isaiah Chance Jr., Alicia Andrews, and Rashad Murphy are currently in custody for their alleged involvement, and police are still searching for the fifth and final suspect.

Obviously, the people believed to have been involved in the shooting could be looking at some serious time behind bars. With that being said, however, one of them recently teased his return. Isaiah Chance Jr. took to his Instagram story today with an odd message to his followers.

“I miss y’all and I miss the [world],” he wrote. “I’ll be home soon.” It’s unclear whether or not there’s any truth to Chance Jr.’s claims, but Foolio’s fans think it’s unlikely. After all, he’s facing a first-degree murder charge, and authorities have high-quality surveillance footage of the shooting. This is far from the only bizarre social media activity fans have seen since Foolio’s passing, however. Immediately after his death was confirmed, his Instagram account began posting cryptic messages, leaving supporters confused.

The late rapper’s mother, Sandrikas Mays, has since taken over the account. “I’m running his account now,” she told SayCheeseTV earlier this month. “Before, somebody had his password or whatever and I’m just able to retrieve it from his phone. Before, I wasn’t running his account. But as of right now, you can see the different stuff on there now, me posting songs. Now, I am running the account.” What do you think of Foolio’s alleged killer claiming he’ll be home soon? Are you surprised?

Travis Scott’s Disorderly Intoxication Charge Gets Dropped After Miami Arrest

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In June of this year, Travis Scott’s trip to Miami took an unexpected turn. He was arrested for alleged disorderly intoxication and trespassing. The arrest stemmed from a minor disagreement on a yacht, and he was released within hours. Reportedly, officers had asked him to leave the scene but took him into custody when he returned to gather some forgotten belongings.

Scott had a hearing this morning, which he did not attend, where his team received both good and bad news. The state of Florida has decided to move forward with a misdemeanor trespassing charge against the performer. He’s scheduled to go to trial on September 10.

On the bright side, prosecutors dropped the disorderly intoxication charge. While he’s not completely off the hook in this case, Scott is one step closer to getting it resolved for good. This is surely a relief for the hitmaker, who’s already had a pretty busy month. Aside from collaborating with Afrobeats singer Asake, seemingly getting dissed by Killer Mike, and more, Scott also teased something exciting with Playboi Carti yesterday.

The two of them are scheduled to perform together at ComplexCon in November. Billed OOCactus, the duo also unveiled a snippet of a brand new track they have on the way, which does not yet have a release date. Regardless, fans can’t wait to hear what’s to come or to see them grace the stage together later this year. What do you think of Travis Scott’s disorderly conduct charge getting dropped today after his June arrest? What about the state of Florida moving forward with a misdemeanor trespassing charge against him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ashanti Celebrates Mother’s Birthday Amid Nelly Arrest Reactions

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ashanti is in a good mood. The R&B singer took to Instagram to celebrate her mom’s birthday. She posed alongside her mother and various members of her family for a “special night.” The timing of Ashanti’s post was not lost on the internet, though. While the singer was living it up with her family, her husband, Nelly, was being locked up. The rapper was taken into custody on traffic charges the morning of August 7. Fans were shocked by the radically different headlines these two artists prompted. Especially given the way they were shared on social media.

Ashanti has not commented on Nelly’s arrest. Instead, she praised her mother and the recapped the night that she had. “Recap mom’s bday,” she wrote. “This was such a special night. Happy birthday again mom. I love you more than anything.” Ashanti wrote that the date in which the celebration went down was on July 13, so it didn’t actually occur the same night Nelly was taken into custody. Still, the decision to not address the legal elephant in the room seems intentional on the singer’s part.

Ashanti Hasn’t Commented On Nelly’s Recent Arrest

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Nelly was taken into custody at 4:45 am on Wednesday morning. The rapper was initially arrested on a failure-to-appear warrant that went back to a St. Louis traffic charge. After he was arrested, though, the local authorities discovered the rapper had four ecstasy pills on his person. NBC reports that Nelly was subsequently released by Maryland police. The rapper’s lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, issued a statement picking apart the character of the arresting officer. Rosenblum claimed that Nelly was “targeted by an overzealous, out of line officer” who “paraded him through the casino.” The lawyer also asserted that Nelly was not ultimately charged with drug possession.

Ashanti and Nelly have been romantically involved for decades. The two initially dated in the 2000s, before reuniting in 2023. The second time proved the charm, and the artists had a child before tying the knot in December of the same year. “The growth has been like superb, you know, like on both ends,” the singer told Entertainment Tonight. “We are both at a place where like before, sometimes we would argue and walk out, slam the door, and not talk for a few days.” Ashanti will no doubt help Nelly get through this latest ordeal.

Nelly’s Attorney Slams Cops Over Alleged Ecstasy Possession Arrest

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier today, it was reported that Nelly was arrested by the Missouri State Highway Patrol at the Hollywood Casino. Allegedly, officers found four ecstasy pills on his person and discovered that the artist did not have insurance. For obvious reasons, the arrest took fans by surprise. After all, Nelly is currently expecting his first child with his fiancée Ashanti. It’s unclear exactly when she’s due, but it looks like their baby could arrive any day now.

His attorney, however, is firing back. In a recent chat with TMZ, Scott Rosenblum told the outlet that his client was “targeted by an overzealous, out of line officer.” According to him, the hitmaker had won a major jackpot at the casino. An officer then allegedly falsely claimed they needed to run a background check before giving him his winnings.

Police claim that at this point, they learned that he had an active warrant for failing to have insurance during a previous traffic stop. After that, they reportedly cuffed the performer and walked him through the casino to be seen by everyone there. Rosenblum insists that Nelly was not given notice of the warrant, which was issued in December from a traffic stop in 2018. He thinks that if Nelly wasn’t a celebrity, he simply would have been informed of the warrant and allowed to leave.

Rosenblum also claims that Nelly has not been charged with drug possession, despite previous reports. Nelly himself has yet to address the debacle, though his attorney seems confident that the case won’t go anywhere. What do you think of Nelly getting arrested at a casino this morning?

Nelly Hit With Ecstacy Possession Arrest

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nelly was arrested by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Gaming Division at the Hollywood Casino around 5:00 AM on Wednesday over a failure to appear warrant from 2018 out of Maryland Heights. To make matters worse, he was in possession of four ecstasy pills, a controlled substance, and was without insurance at the time. Maryland Heights Police picked him up from the highway patrol and placed him under arrest. He’s since been released from jail.

Nelly has yet to speak out on the situation on social media. His mugshot is currently floating around the internet, in which he appears in a black hoodie with a white t-shirt and a necklace. His eyes are somewhat red.

When The Neighborhood Talk posted the mugshot on Instagram, fans had plenty of reactions. “This man has had heroin, cocaine and pills found on his tour bus throughout the years and a couple years ago he was so high when he performed people thought he was possessed and y’all surprised? Am I the only one that remembers all this,” one user commented. Nelly previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia in 2015. Another social media user referenced the news that he and Ashanti are getting their own reality show. “Well DAM NELLY!!!! bad look after getting millions dollars for that NEW ‘family reality show’ with your new wifey….” they wrote.
