2Pac’s Never-Before-Seen Mugshot From 1993 Sexual Assault Arrest Surfaces Online

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Previously unearthed photos of 2Pac’s mugshot from his 1993 arrest for sexual assault have surfaced online. DJ Skandalous appears to have been the first person to share the pictures, which he did on Instagram with context to what ‘Pac was going through at the time.

“Unbelievable photos! It’s 2024 and I am still seeing new 2Pac photos for the first time. These particular photos was from when 2Pac was arrested on November 19th 1993,” Skandalous wrote in the caption. “The scar on 2Pac’s face is only makeup as he was filming for the movie ‘Above The Rim’ during this time.” ‘Pac starred in the sports drama alongside Duane Martin, Marlon Wayans, and Leon. It released in March 1994.

“Also interesting to see that you can tell that 2Pac is also missing parts of his hair in the back of his head,” Skandalous continued. “Many people kept saying Pac shaved his head due to a receding hairline but this is more proof of Alopecia which became prevalent after the police brutality he suffered from the jaywalking incident.” Jada Pinkett Smith previously revealed that ‘Pac suffered from the hair loss condition while promoting her memoir, Worthy. She told PEOPLE in 2023: “I don’t think Tupac ever talked about the alopecia he suffered from. After he was in Northern California with the police officers that beat him up, he started losing his hair. And his alopecia patterns were far more extreme than mine.”

Don Toliver Arrested For DUI: Report

April 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Don Toliver was arrested for driving under the influence near the San Fernando Valley, on Tuesday morning, according to a report from the California Highway Patrol cited by TMZ. Officers say there were clear signs of impairment and that they gave him a citation on the scene rather than bring him to the station. Law enforcement sources for the outlet say police turned him over to another party who was present and sober. He was also fully cooperative throughout the incident. Further details are unavailable.

The arrest comes less than a month after Toliver and his partner, Kali Uchis, welcomed their first child together. In a joint post on Instagram sharing the news, the couple wrote: “You are everything we could have hoped for & more. Thank you God for our beautiful healthy baby boy, & thank you all for the Good energy along the way. May our home & your homes forever be blessed with peace, happiness & health.”

Despite the pregnancy, fans can still expect new music from the couple. Toliver confirmed he’s got an album in store for the summer during a recent Instagram post. “Album This Summer. It’s mine. HardStone Psycho,” he wrote.

Uchis also said she’ll be hard at work on new music during an interview with ABC News in January. “I think just being a working woman in general is hard,” she said. “There’s so much pregnancy discrimination. I don’t want to be a stereotype of like, ‘Oh, I’m just gonna stop working now.’ It’s just reminding myself like I don’t owe it to anybody. Just people speculating I was pregnant, just fans saying horrible things like, ‘Oh, you’re in your prime, don’t do that.’ You just don’t even want that type of energy when you’re pregnant.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Don Toliver on HotNewHipHop.

B.G. Had Permission To Perform With Boosie Badazz Before Arrest, His Attorneys Claim

April 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, it was revealed that B.G. was arrested for an alleged probation violation, only months after he was released from prison following a 12-year sentence. Reportedly, the rapper was accused of “associating unnecessarily” with convicted felons, namely Boosie Badazz and Gucci Mane. He teamed up with Boosie for a Vegas reunion show in February and joined forces with Gucci for a collaborative album, Choppers & Bricks. He was released shortly after his arrest but could face additional time behind bars in the future.

According to his attorneys, however, he should have never been arrested. In new court documents filed yesterday (April 5), his team claims that he was given permission to perform with Boosie, and asks that he remain on supervised release instead of going back to jail. B.G. is scheduled to appear in court on April 8 to address the situation.

B.G. Says He’s “On The Right Track”

B.G.’s attorneys aren’t the only ones who believe he was wrongfully arrested, however. Shortly after news of the artist’s arrest broke, Boosie hopped online to urge hip-hop fans everywhere to stand up for his longtime friend. He also claimed that B.G. has been doing everything in his power to stay on the right track, and is being punished for simply doing his job. “I need all my supporters, all rap supporters to get behind and try to stop what’s going on with B.G. These people trying to lock B.G. up for rapping, bro,” he told viewers on Instagram Live. “This gotta stop. We gotta fight for our people. This man has passed every drug test, community service. Wrong is wrong. You can’t be self-employed and put out music? This man been doing this since 13 years old.”

What do you think of B.G. getting arrested for allegedly violating his parole? What about his attorneys claiming he got permission before performing with Boosie Badazz? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Rod Wave Released From Jail, Officials Confirm Gun Charges Weren’t “Accurate”

April 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Rod Wave was arrested at his home in Palmetto, FL on two counts of illegal possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. Fortunately for the “Long Journey” performer, however, those charges are now confirmed to have been inaccurate. Yesterday, he was released from jail only hours after his arrest.

“He was arrested on a charge that was later determined not to be accurate, so he was released,” St. Petersburg PD spokesperson Yolanda Fernandez said yesterday. “This investigation is still open, it’s still ongoing and we are still looking to arrest more people and additional charges could be forthcoming.”

Rod Wave’s Lawyer Says Rapper Is Not A Convicted Felon

According to Rod Wave’s lawyer Mark Rankin, officials had nowhere near enough evidence to convict the rapper. Apparently, he’s also not a convicted felon. “The entire basis of that allegation was that the ammunition was on a kitchen counter or a table adjacent to a folder that had some papers with his name inside. That’s it,” he said of the incident. “That’s certainly not enough to charge somebody and certainly not enough to convict him… If you took two minutes to look at his record online, you would see that he’s not a convicted felon. And these are police officers that know how to check somebody’s criminal record.”

Rankin says that his client was convicted of a felony back in 2017 for carrying a concealed firearm. The charge was later reduced to a misdemeanor. What do you think of Rod Wave getting arrested earlier this week after police searched his home and accused him of illegally possessing a firearm? What about him getting released because the charges weren’t accurate? Are you surprised? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Rod Wave Arrest: 25-Year-Old Reportedly In Florida Police Custody

April 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rod Wave is a talented artist, but unfortunately, the “Street Runner” artist’s legal troubles are holding him back from reaching his maximum potential. In May of 2022 he managed to have felony battery charges dropped after reports claimed he choked his then-girlfriend with children in the house. Since then, Wave has mostly been out of trouble, though blogs report that he was taken into police custody today (April 3) after weapons and/or ammo were found on his person. Due to his status as a felon, the performer can’t have guns in his possession, though it’s unclear what punishment he’s facing for his alleged crimes.

In a mugshot that’s making rounds, Wave looks solemn. Online, fans have endless questions about what this situation means for their favourite singer. “What’s the point of bodyGUARDS if you gon’ CARRY? SMH,” one user wrote beneath @theneighborhoodtalk’s post. “He gon be crying for an entire album bout this s**t,” another person speculated, hoping we’ll at least get new music out of the 25-year-old’s misfortune.

The last time Wave came through with a full-length LP was in September 2023, winding back the clock on Nostalgia. The 18-track effort mostly finds the Southern artist working on his own, though he did connect with Wet for the title track, 21 Savage on “Turks & Caicos,” and Sadie Jean on the final song, “2018.” In the past Wave has hinted at no longer making sad music, but now that his life has quickly turned upside down, we’re curious to see if he’ll be sticking to his promise.

As more information on Rod Wave’s reported arrest becomes available, we’ll be sure to share it with you. In the meantime, revisit our report on how the Florida native amassed his growing net worth at the link below. For more hip-hop/pop culture news, make sure to check back in with us later.

B.G. Shares Heartfelt Message To Fans After His Arrest

March 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

B.G. appeared to be back on the right track when he was released from prison last year after spending over a decade behind bars. He quickly linked up with some of his old friends to work on collabs, perform, and more. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse last week, when the rapper was arrested for an alleged parole violation.

Reportedly, he must obtain written approval before pursuing self-employment, which he didn’t. He’s also not supposed to be “associating unnecessarily with” convicted felons, which he’s accused of. Aside from working alongside Gucci Mane on Choppers & Bricks, he recently joined Boosie Badazz onstage for a reunion in Vegas.

B.G. Won’t Let Bump In The Road Stop Him

We’ve got to fight for our people, bro… Wrong is wrong.” Now, B.G. himself has taken to social media to share a message with his followers, revealing that while a bump in the road may slow him down, he won’t let it stop him.

“It’s never been Easy being Geezy,but I’m Real ,so I make it look that way,” his post begins. “I always thrive under pressure and fight harder when my back against the wall…I came too far to give up or lay down..the real gonna keep riding with me,and my haters gonna keep hating on me…I’m here for it all.” What do you think of B.G. getting arrested for collaborating with convicted felons?

B.G. Gets Arrested For Performing With Boosie Badazz

March 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

B.G. was finally released from prison a few months ago after a 12-year stay, but unfortunately, the performer could be going back soon. Earlier this week, his friend OG Freeze hopped online to share the news, revealing that it all stemmed from a recent reunion with Boosie Badazz. He joined the Louisiana-born artist for a show in Las Vegas this month.

“The man [has] come home, doing his little thing, he ain’t bothering nobody… Just trying to get his life back on track,” OG Freeze explained. “He ain’t doing nothing different than no other rapper.” Reportedly, one of the conditions of B.G.’s supervised release is that he must “obtain prior written approval” before self-employment, which he didn’t. B.G. is also barred from “associating unnecessarily with” convicted felons such as Boosie or Gucci Mane, whom he recently collaborated with on Choppers & Bricks.

OG Freeze Gives Fans An Update On B.G.

He was arrested for violating his parole on Wednesday (March 27), and released shortly after. He could spend even more time behind bars, however, as he has a federal court hearing to go over the violation in New Orleans scheduled sometime soon. OG Freeze isn’t the only one of B.G.’s friends coming to his defense following his arrest, however.

Boosie also recently hopped online to encourage fans to stand behind B.G. “I’mma need all my supporters, all rap supporters to get behind and try to stop what’s going on with B.G. These people are trying to lock B.G. up for rapping, bro,” he says in a clip. “This gotta stop, bro. We’ve got to fight for our people, bro… Wrong is wrong.”

It remains unclear at the time of writing whether or not Key Glock is still behind bars. Fans online appear confident that if he is, he’ll be out in no time. He’s not the first rapper to broadcast his arrest online, however. Back in July, Lil Tjay was stopped by police in New York City during an IG Live. He was detained and eventually arrested for possession of a firearm. Reportedly, he was on his way to shoot a music video with Ice Spice.

Stunna 4 Vegas also went live on Instagram in February while being detained by police, only days after the release of his album 4EVER.

LAPD Claims Cardi B’s Wild Arrest Story Never Occurred: Report

March 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Los Angeles Police Department says that Cardi B’s story about officers pulling her over for suspected drug trafficking never occurred. Sources for the department confirmed to TMZ that there is no evidence of officers searching her vehicle for guns and drugs nor that they made her strip down. They say if something as dramatic as what she described did occur, it would be on record.

Cardi detailed the alleged incident during a post on Instagram Live on Monday. She claimed officers stopped her car to search for guns and drugs. “They thought I had I was trafficking fentanyl and they thought I had a gun in the car, so they stopped me,” she explained. “They had me outside for like three hours, they had me getting butt-naked outside. Sh*t was crazy. It was deadass a movie. I’m about to sue the LAPD. I told them like, ‘yo, I’m Cardi B. Do I look like I gotta sell some sh*t? Like why would I do that? I would never pull no sh*t like that.’”

Cardi added that she tried to explain to the cops that she is a celebrity but they weren’t buying it. “They didn’t believe me,” she said. “It was some white cops and they ain’t know who I was.

SpotemGottem Hides From Police In Shed, Bodycam Footage From 2023 Arrest Shows

March 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In July of last year, Spotemgottem was placed under arrest following a high-speed police chase through North Miami Beach. The Florida-born rapper was allegedly cruising through the city in a red Corvette when authorities tried to pull him over. Instead of stopping, however, SpotemGottem proceeded to speed off.

Eventually, it was reported that he had collided with another nearby vehicle. He fled the scene on foot and was later found hiding from authorities. His hiding spot of choice was a stranger’s shed, where police eventually found him. Now, new bodycam footage of the incident has surfaced online, in which authorities tell SpotemGottem to get on the ground. It seems as if the rapper informed officers of a leg injury, based on the footage, though one cop’s response was “I don’t give a f*ck about your leg.” Later on, officers are seen inspecting two gold chains, presumably taken off of SpotemGottem or out of his car.

Upon searching the vehicle, authorities found a Glock 23, ammunition, and more. He was hit with various charges, including fleeing and eluding police, burglary, and possession of a firearm. Unfortunately, this was far from SpotemGottem’s first run-in with the law. Back in 2022, he was spotted speeding on a jetski, but again, fled the scene when authorities tried to stop him. Eventually, they caught up to him, and he was arrested. He was charged with the reckless operation of a boat and fleeing law enforcement officers.

In 2021, the artist was also arrested for allegedly threatening a parking garage attendant with a gun. Reportedly, the dispute was over a parking fee, and authorities later found him in bed with a firearm. What do you think of the newly-surfaced bodycam footage from SpotemGottem’s 2023 arrest? Are you surprised that the rapper hid from police in a shed? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
