When DJ Akademiks shared the post on Instagram, fans celebrated in the comments section. “N***a kept his arms crossed to stop from throwing up any thing that could be taken as a gang sign,” one user joked. Another wrote: “TI had his run with the Feds too at some point. It’s only right to link with the OGs help get you on the right track.” Others pointed out that T.I.’s son, Domani, is in the background of the video.

The meet-up also has fans theorizing that T.I. will be coming out of retirement to work with Thug on new music. He previously claimed to be done with performing while appearing on 96.1 The Beat’s afternoon show Rari at 2. “I appreciate y’all for offering me my last working gig because I do not need the money anymore and I will not be performing,” he said, last month. “I don’t want to do it anymore. … I don’t want people to pay me to hop around and sweat for their entertainment anymore.”

Adam22 has shared a new song in support of Lil Durk following the rapper’s arrest on murder-for-hire charges for an alleged role in the attempted murder of Quando Rondo. On the track, “Free Durk,” the podcaster proclaims his innocence while also referencing King Yella and Rick Ross.

Hip-hop fans on social media have been clowning Adam for the song. “All the folks that hate drake need to direct their attention right here,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in response. Another added: “Y do the culture keep making these lame n****z famous, bro got funny cases with lil girls, he a sexual deviant, a vulture n everything yet this n***a still out here making money off the culture with his goofy ass.”

Authorities arrested Lil Durk in Miami, last month, for allegedly “orchestrating a cold-blooded murder that resulted in the death of a rival’s family member,” as put by United States Attorney Martin Estrada. She added: “Not only that, the shooting occurred in the open, at a gas station at a busy intersection, endangering many others in the area. Violent gun crime of this sort is devastating to our community and we will have zero-tolerance for those who perpetrate such callous acts of violence.”

Adam22 Voices Support For Lil Durk

Check out Adam’s full song for Lil Durk below. The rapper is expected to appear in court in Los Angeles in the coming weeks, as that’s where the alleged crime originally took place. Authorities have also arrested several of his Only The Family associates as alleged co-conspirators as well. Be on the lookout for further updates on Adam22 as well as Lil Durk on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy’s Lawyers Demand Response To Gag Order Request As Alleged Witnesses Continue To Speak Out

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s attorneys, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, said in a letter on Sunday that there has been a “deluge of improper pretrial publicity” and once again asked the judge presiding over the Bad Boy mogul’s ongoing criminal case to order potential alleged witnesses to stop speaking with the media. As caught by ABC News, they wrote that the alleged victims are “undermining Mr. Combs’ right to a fair trial and the integrity of the grand jury proceedings.”

“These stories have spread rapidly through the media and created the impression that such videos exist, which is false, and that the government is actually crediting his sensational claims, which is profoundly prejudicial,” the letter said. Prosecutors have previously countered the defense’s point, arguing that plaintiffs in civil litigation can’t be impacted by this court. As also noted by ABC News, Diddy’s team has fired back: “It makes little sense that civil litigants seeking to capitalize on the criminal allegations against Mr. Combs can nonetheless claim that they are not involved in the criminal proceedings.”

As noted by TMZ, the latest update comes after one witness, Courtney Burgess, spoke publically several times in recent days. On Thursday, he discussed the allegations surrounding Diddy during an interview with NewsNation’s Banfield. Burgess alleged that he was once given 11 flash drives containing at least eight sex tapes involving eight celebrities. He further alleged that “two to three” of the alleged victims were minors. He had testified in front of a grand jury in the Southern District of New York, earlier in the day.

Authorities arrested Diddy on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, back in September. He’s already pleaded not guilty and denied all of the allegations he’s faced over the last year. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Jennifer Lopez dodged a question about her ex, Diddy, while signing autographs for fans in promotion of her new film, Unstoppable, over the weekend. In a video published by The Daily Mail, a fan asked Lopez about the allegations stemming from Diddy’s recent arrest for charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering.

“J.Lo, do you have any comments about Diddy and the allegations?” they asked after a screening of her new film at AFI FEST 2024. From there, the vibes shifted and she left as one fan shouted, “Don’t leave.” It isn’t the first time she’s dodged the topic either. As caught by Page Six, she avoided questions about her ex when Papparazi ran into her outside of a dinner with her manager, Benny Medina, on October 19.

Lopez and Diddy dated from 1999 through 2001. She previously described the relationship as “emotionally exhausting” during an interview with Vanity Fair in 2011. “We broke up many times (before that) and got back together and broke up again, and nobody knew about it,” she told the outlet. “It was very tempestuous. Towards the end, it was emotionally exhausting. It was good that I was young.”

Jennifer Lopez Abruptly Ends Autograph Signing

Check out the clip of Lopez dodging questions about Diddy below. It comes as Diddy remains behind bars in Brooklyn while awaiting trial. He’s already pleaded not guilty in the case and denied all of the allegations he’s faced. “Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” his lawyer, Erica Wolff, said in a recent statement. “He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Jennifer Lopez and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Durk Is Reportedly In “Great Spirits” In Miami Prison

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, Lil Durk was arrested in Florida and hit with charges for alleged murder-for-hire. He’s now behind bars at the Federal Detention Center in Miami, but fortunately, it looks like the Chicago rapper isn’t doing too poorly. According to a source who recently spoke with TMZ, he’s actually in “great spirits” despite the circumstances.

The source added that his biggest complaint about the facility so far is the food, which doesn’t come as a huge surprise. In fact, Diddy’s lawyer revealed earlier this month that meals were one of his client’s biggest struggles in custody too. Regardless, the source describes Durk as “super charming” and “agreeable,” and claims he’s been getting along well with other inmates and staff.

This news surely comes as a relief to Lil Durk’s fans and loved ones, who have been hoping for the best since his arrest. His long-term girlfriend India Royale was spotted at his court hearing yesterday, for example, making her support apparent. Durk’s 10-year-old son Zayden even released a statement about his father’s legal issues earlier this week. Some have doubts that the child actually wrote the statement himself, but it was a sweet gesture nonetheless.

“I want to take a moment to stand up for my dad, Durk Banks. He has always dedicated his life to uplifting others and giving back to our community through his organization, Neighborhood Heroes. Beyond that, he is a great father who has always supported and loved our family unconditionally,” it reads in part. What do you think of a source claiming that Lil Durk is in “great spirits” behind bars? Does this come as a surprise to you considering the circumstances?

6ix9ine Is Reportedly Staying At The Same Prison As Diddy After NYC Arrest

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

6ix9ine is certainly no stranger to legal issues, and unfortunately for the rapper, it looks like they won’t be coming to an end any time soon. Earlier this week, he was taken into federal custody, according to DJ Akademiks. He’s accused of violating several of his supervised release conditions. Allegedly, he traveled to Las Vegas without approval, failed to show up for drug tests, and tested positive for meth and marijuana.

Now, ABC 7 reports that 6ix9ine is being held at the same facility as Diddy, the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. For those who don’t recall, Diddy was arrested last month and hit with charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He could end up facing serious time for his alleged crimes. As for 6ix9ine, he’ll reportedly remain behind bars until his next hearing on November 12.

6ix9ine Arrested For Allegedly Violating Probation

— No Jumper (@nojumper) October 30, 2024

In court on Tuesday (October 29), Manhattan federal Judge Paul Engelmayer called 6ix9ine out for allegedly having a “full spectrum disregard for the law” and arriving an hour late. “I’m not a bad person,” the rapper responded at the time. “I woke up late.” Despite the circumstances, 6ix9ine’s attorney remains optimistic. “Daniel Hernandez was charged with three technical violations regarding his supervised release,” they told XXL recently. “We are confident that each specification will be dismissed.”

6ix9ine’s arrest took place just a few weeks after he signed a huge deal with Kartel Records. As part of the deal, he was expected to stay out of legal trouble, which clearly hasn’t worked out so far. “No, [I’m not worried about staying out of trouble],” 6ix9ine told TMZ earlier this month. “Because, I mean, like, if you know 6ix9ine, you know now, like, I’m squeaky clean. Like, I stay out of trouble. It’s just, trouble seems – its way to find me all the time.” For now, it’s unclear if or how his arrest could impact the deal. What do you think of 6ix9ine getting taken into federal custody earlier this week? What about him reportedly staying in the same prison as Diddy?

Tekashi 6ix9ine Allegedly Tested Positive For Meth Before His Latest Arrest

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tekashi 6ix9ine allegedly tested positive for methamphetamine twice in the last two weeks, prosecutor Jonathan Rebold alleged on Tuesday. The accusation came as 6ix9ine will spend at least the next two weeks behind bars after showing up an hour late to court on Tuesday morning. Manhattan federal Judge Paul Engelmayer made the decision after accusing him of having a “full spectrum disregard for the law.”

“I’m not a bad person,” Tekashi argued, noting that he’d just flown in from Miami to New York the night before. “I woke up late.” As for the meth, his lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, claimed there was a big misunderstanding and that his client actually takes Adderall. The popular prescription drug contains methamphetamine. The prosecution’s accusations didn’t end there; however, as they also alleged he took an unsanctioned trip to Las Vegas for a concert.

(Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)

Engelmayer said that altogether, along with multiple arrests he’s had since getting out of prison, it represents a pattern of disrespect for the law. 6ix9ine recently found himself in legal trouble in the Dominican Republic, where authorities there arrested for him allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Yailín la Más Viral, as well as two music producers. Additionally, police caught him allegedly driving 136 mph in a 65 mph zone in Florida.

6ix9ine got out of prison after giving key testimony in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods trial. He infamously accepted a plea deal that reduced his time behind bars to just two years in exchange for him snitching on several of his associates. In the time since, he’s continued releasing music, including his single from August, “Wassup.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Tekashi 6ix9ine on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Durk’s music streams are reportedly up 28%, according to DJ Akademiks, following the news of his arrest for allegedly orchestrating an attempted murder of Quando Rondo. Authorities arrested him in Florida, last Thursday, as he allegedly attempted to flee the country out of Miami airport, where he had arranged several international flights.

In the replies to Akademiks’ report, fans celebrated Durk’s continued success while calling for his freedom. “Man getting paid in Jail, revenge has never felt so good…….Free Durk,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The complaint against Durk accused him of allegedly paying for the attempted killing of Quando Rondo. It reads: “Banks [Lil Durk] put a monetary bounty out for an individual with whom Banks was feuding named T.B. Banks ordered T.B.’s murder and that the hitmen used Banks and OTF-related finances to carry out the murder.” It further alleges that the move was in retaliation for the 2020 killing of King Von. The filing also targets other associates of his Only the Family imprint, which it describes as a “hybrid organization” that also functions as a criminal gang in addition to a music collective.

Lil Durk’s Music Streams Are Up

In addition to Durk’s arrest, authorities arrested several members of OTF on numerous charges. They include conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, committing murder-for-hire involving a death, and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death. Durk is expected to be transported to Los Angeles for his detention hearing, as that’s where the alleged crime took place. Be on the lookout for further updates on Lil Durk on HotNewHipHop.
