Lil Reese Was Arrested In LA, Boosie Badazz Claims

by

Boosie Badazz is currently celebrating his latest legal victory, getting his federal gun charge dismissed. Fans first heard of the exciting development last week, when he got emotional on Instagram while sharing his hopes for the future. Unfortunately, however, not all of his peers appear to have had the same luck as of late. Recently, Boosie took to social media once again, this time to announce that Lil Reese was allegedly arrested.

In a clip, the Louisiana-born performer says that he’s at a hotel in downtown LA, and claims he just witnessed authorities take Lil Reese to jail. “He came out handcuffed, they had all his bags,” he explained. Boosie went on to urge the performer’s people to look into the situation, whether that means bailing the Chicago rapper out, or simply making sure he’s doing okay.

Lil Reese Reportedly Runs Into Trouble On The West Coast

At the time of writing, it remains unclear why he was reportedly taken into custody. In the clip, however, Boosie says that a man had come downstairs suggesting that a woman could have “lied on him.” This is unconfirmed, though hopefully, fans will hear more about the alleged arrest sooner rather than later. Lil Reese’s latest reported legal trouble is far from the first the 31-year-old has encountered, however.

In January of last year, he was released from prison after serving seven months for allegedly assaulting a family member. Before that, he was arrested in Chicago on domestic violence charges in 2022. At the time, authorities were reportedly called to the scene to find a woman presumed to be Lil Reese’s girlfriend, who accused him of pulling her hair and punching her in the face. He was arrested immediately and later released after posting a $10K bond. What do you think of Boosie Badazz claiming that Lil Reese was arrested in LA?

Young Dolph Murder Suspect Secures A Legal Victory Amid Another Unrelated Arrest

by

Hernandez Govan, the alleged mastermind behind Young Dolph’s murder in 2021, caught a lucky break in Tennessee court on Friday (July 12) despite other legal worries. Moreover, authorities arrested him on June 23 in Mississippi for trespassing, driving with a suspended license, and an improperly mounted license tag while out on bond in the Dolph case. For this most recent arrest, Govan also bailed out of the DeSoto County jail with a $2,250 payment. Then, back in Tennessee, Judge Jennifer Mitchell ruled not to revoke his bond from the rapper’s murder case, so he will not have to return to jail since prosecutors didn’t ask to revoke his bail, per Fox 13 Memphis. Govan will face trial for Dolph’s death in September of this year.

Furthermore, the other three murder suspects in this Young Dolph case are Cornelius Smith and Justin and Jermarcus Johnson. Hernandez Govan, Justin, and Smith faced first-degree murder charges and al pleaded not guilty, whereas Jermarcus took a plea deal for three counts of accessory after the fact, and he awaits his sentence. Prosecutors alleged that Govan was the one who ordered the hit on the Memphis MC, and that Justin and Smith were the ones who carried it out for him. While Govan has been out on a $90,000 bond since 2023, Justin and Smith are still behind bars.

“It is truly hurtful that my family was robbed of a future,” Young Dolph’s partner Mia Jaye said of this trial process. “My love’s life was taken and to be left behind to see no one be held accountable in the [court] of law for the act… Is INSANE. Our family witnessed lenient bonds granted, absurd requests for the defendants to get a venue motion, freedom, more time to create a stronger defense, witnessed songs made, defendants enjoying life while on H.A… 

“All while our loved one is 6feet deep,” Mia Jaye concluded about Young Dolph. “Continuing to sit back and allowing people to PLAY in your face isn’t the process it is ignoring the process and giving room for any and everything wrong to happen, over looking accountability.”

Benny The Butcher Reveals That He Recently Spent Four Days In Jail

by

Benny the Butcher has a lot of eyes on him. He’s one of the most respected New York rappers in the game at the moment. He’s also worked with multiple superstars. Yet somehow, Benny the Butcher was locked up for four days without the general public realizing. The rapper recounted his unexpected stay encounter in Gwinnett Country via Instagram. Even more unexpected, the experience turned out to be a wholly positive one.

Benny the Butcher was vague about the circumstances in which he was arrested. He didn’t want to delve into the specifics. “That’s the first time i ever made it on a unit in 11 years,” he said. “I had some bullsh*t probation hold.” The real heart of the story lies in time behind bars, however. The Griselda rapper stated that he encountered someone that he was actually able to help. “I met some brothers that I probably wouldn’t have been able to meet if i wasn’t in there,” he noted. I got to meet somebody and got the opportunity to help him with his lawyer. Somebody who i just met, ain’t even know him.”

Benny The Butcher Helped One Of His Fellow Inmates

Benny the Butcher’s legal history has been well-documented. The rapper was arrested violating his parole shortly before the death of his brother in 2006. His past, coupled with the power that he’s been able to accrue as a rapper, resulted in a full circle moment. “I helped that n**ga, just out of nowhere,” he explained. “That’s the least I could do. Being back in there just opened my eyes up and showed me what’s still going on.” Benny noted that God works in mysterious ways.

He did clarify, however, that he didn’t help the unnamed man out so he could brag about it on social media. “I ain’t do that shit to get on here and tell y’all I did that sh*t,” he asserted. Rather, he did it because it made him feel like he was making a difference. “That sh*t just made me feel good in my soul,” he added. “I was able to do it because I’ve been in that position before. I just be trying to help strangers.” Benny’s parting words to viewers was to help one’s own self whenever possible. “Can’t nobody save you but your muthaf**kin’ self,” he explained. “But that person in the mirror, your own worst enemy.”

Ex-NFL Star Daniel Muir & Wife Charged After Missing Son Was Found Safe: What We Know

by

Former NFL player Daniel Muir and his wife, Kristin Muir, are facing serious charges after allegations surfaced of abuse towards their teenage son, Bryson. New court documents reveal disturbing details about the incident. This includes Daniel Muir’s admission of beating his son over allegations of inappropriate behavior. Bryson Muir, 14, was found safe after a raid on the family’s home in Logansport, Indiana, conducted by Indiana State Police.

 The Muirs, who have been taken into custody without bond, face charges of domestic battery and obstruction of justice. This case has garnered significant attention due to Daniel Muir’s background as a former defensive tackle for the Indianapolis Colts.

The Incident & Allegations

Daniel Muir admitted to a relative that he “whooped” his son, Bryson, like a “grown ass man” over allegations of inappropriate contact with other children. The court documents also reveal Muir’s statement that “if they lived in their homeland (religious country) (redacted name) would be put to death for his acts, instead they live in the United States so they could not put him to death,” according to WISH-TV. However, Bryson was reported missing after leaving his grandmother’s home in Ohio with his mother on June 16.

Law Enforcement Involvement

Bryson’s grandmother, Cheryl Wright, reported seeing her grandson with visible injuries, including a black eye and a swollen face. Then, she alerted the police, concerned for his safety and suspecting abuse. Finally, On June 18, the Indiana Department of Child Services requested state police assistance in investigating the allegations. Despite agreeing to bring Bryson for a meeting with investigators, the Muirs failed to comply. Overall, this decision led to a Silver Alert being issued on June 20.

The Raid & Aftermath

A SWAT team executed a search warrant at the Muir home in Logansport on June 27. The property is reportedly owned by the Servant Leadership Foundation, and Daniel Muir is allegedly associated with Straitway Truth Ministry, a controversial religious sect identifying as Hebrew Israelites. Moreover, neighbors have described the Muirs’ property as “scary” and “cult-like,” with multiple “no trespassing” signs and reports of hearing gunshots in the past.

Court Proceedings & Charges

Daniel Muir faces charges of domestic battery and obstruction of justice, while Kristin Muir is charged with obstruction. During a court hearing, it was revealed that Child Services had taken all of the Muirs’ children into their care. The couple’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 16. The judge cited the parents’ failure to comply with the investigation as the reason for denying bond.

Community and Religious Response

Charles Dowell, the head pastor of Straitway Truth Ministries, issued a video response defending the Muirs and criticizing the raid as an overreaction to allegations. He claimed that the community would not take the accusations lightly and would continue to support the Muir family.

This case not only sheds light on the severe allegations of child abuse but also highlights the complex dynamics within religious communities and the legal system. The investigation continues as authorities work to ensure the safety and well-being of all involved children.

Travis Scott’s Miami Arrest Was The Result Of Forgotten Items, Sources Claim

by

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Travis Scott was arrested in Miami for alleged disorderly intoxication and trespassing. At first, the circumstances leading up to the performer’s arrest were unclear, but it was later reported that it all started with a minor disagreement on a yacht. He was taken into custody after police asked him to leave the scene, but he allegedly returned anyway.

Now, sources who recently chatted with TMZ explained why he found it necessary to circle back. According to them, he had left some of his most crucial belongings behind, including his bag and his phone. When he went back to get them, he reportedly requested a police escort back on the yacht. He had already been warned to stay away, however, resulting in his arrest.

While this is certainly unfortunate for the hitmaker, it doesn’t appear to have gotten him down too much. Only hours after his arrest, he was released, and he got straight on a jet back to LA. He even released new merch featuring his mugshot the same day. His legal rep Bradford Cohen later issued a statement, clarifying that the argument never escalated to the point of violence. “Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding,” Cohen explained. “There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”

Killer Mike Avoids Charges Following Grammy Arrest

by

Killer Mike has officially avoided catching any chargers for his viral arrest at the Grammy Awards, earlier this year. According to a new report from TMZ citing prosecutors within the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, Mike’s confrontation with a security guard will not lead to any further legal trouble. Police initially booked Mike for misdemeanor battery after knocking over a security guard who refused to let him into Crytpo.com Arena for the ceremony.

After a preliminary hearing, he agreed to complete community service with a non-profit organization of his choice leading to the city closing the case. They did ask he stay out of trouble for the next year otherwise they’ll revisit the situation.

Mike previously addressed the arrest during an appearance on The View in February. “Backstage was overcrowded, the winners were exuberant, and I think security got a little overzealous. It’s water under the bridge for me,” Mike said at the time. “All of my heroes have been in handcuffs — [Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Medgar Evers]. I walked out with the same dignity and respect that I walked in with, and I would implore people to just take that from it. Don’t dwell on the bad stuff.” Check out a clip from his arrest below.

Iranian Rapper Toomaj Salehi Avoids Death Penalty After Protesting Government

by

Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi has avoided receiving a death sentence for protesting the government after the supreme court reportedly overturned a prior ruling. Salehi’s attorney, Amir Raesian, announced the update in a post on X (formerly Twitter) as translated by Google.

“As expected, the Supreme Court avoided an irreparable judicial error,” the post reads after translation. “The death sentence [#FreeToomaj] was violated and based on the appeal decision of the 39th branch of the Supreme Court, the case will be referred to the parallel branch for consideration. In its detailed ruling, the court branch, in addition to violating the death sentence, has reiterated that even the previous prison sentence (6 years and three months) did not comply with the rules of multiplicity of crimes and is contrary to Article 131 and is in excess of legal punishment.”

Earlier this week, Justin Timberlake was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated in The Hamptons. Reportedly, he was stopped after having dinner at a nearby hotel and refused to take a breathalyzer test. Officer Michael Arkinson said in his report that Timberlake was pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign, and swerving. “It was ascertained that the defendant was operating said vehicle in an intoxicated condition in that his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,” the officer also wrote.

Timberlake is scheduled to appear in court on July 26, but in the meantime, his “Forget Tomorrow” tour looks to be proceeding as planned. He kicked things off with a performance in Chicago last night. At one point in the show, he even seemingly addressed his latest legal issues onstage.
