Baby Jamo Crashing Car Into Capitol Building Barricade Leads To DC Rapper’s Arrest

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The United States Capitol Building has seen a lot in its day. Of course, things as of late have become particularly chaotic. The MAGA riots were obviously the most tumultuous action in recent memory. Now, DC-based rapper Baby Jamo is doing his part to change that. In the early hours of Monday (November 6) morning, he was arrested by Capitol Police after crashing his car into a barricade near the government building alongside Onosetale Okojie. To make matters worse, the vehicle in question was stolen. Weapons are also being linked to the men, surmounting in a large number of charges.

“Carrying a pistol without a license, unauthorized use of a vehicle, and unlawful entry of a motor vehicle” are all on the list for Jamo (born Ricardo Glass). The rising star is also accused of “receiving stolen property of $1,000 or more, possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, fleeing from a law enforcement officer in a motor vehicle, reckless driving,” and several other damning charges. As HipHopDX reports, Capitol Police put out a press release on the incident earlier today. They noted that the crashed car was a white Infiniti Q50.

When authorities saw the driver idling at a green light they believed him to be impaired. As they attempted to perform a routine traffic stop, Jamo and his passenger reportedly sped away. This sent them crashing into the Capitol Building barricade. Not quick to give up, the “Back Door Con Artist” and Okojie then tried to escape on foot but ultimately were caught by police separately. When they searched the area afterward, guns (including one with an illegal “giggle switch”) were discovered. It currently remains unclear how the weapons were tied to Jamo and his affiliate, but we’ll surely have more details soon.

Baby Jamo isn’t the only rapper who’s currently caught up in some serious legal woes. Overseas in the Dominican Republic, 6ix9ine is getting comfortable as he prepares to spend the next six months residing there after assaulting some local producers with the help of his goons. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

November 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz says that he was “kind of surprised” when authorities arrested Keefe D for the murder of 2Pac. Speaking with VladTV during a new interview, Boosie explained that he was under the impression Keefe D had immunity for the crime.

When asked if he was surprised, Boosie responded: “Kind of, because he’s been talking about it and I thought when he got busted or whatever he had immunity. So, when he got arrested, I was like, immunity must be f*cking gone. I don’t know, I was kind of surprised. I thought he’d never get arrested for it.” Afterward, Vlad explained that Keefe D only got a “proffer agreement” not full immunity.

It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son. His life and death matters, and should not go unsolved or unrecognized.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Keefe D’s case on HotNewHipHop.

October 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jenny Bui, who works as Cardi B’s nail artist in the Bronx, has spoken out after police arrested her husband for starting a fire that destroyed her salon. Speaking with ABC 7, Jenny pleaded for her husband, Billy, to get a second chance. His attorneys have argued that he didn’t start the fire in hopes of committing insurance fraud but instead out of stress and frustration while under the influence of alcohol.

“Give my husband one more one more chance, he’s a good man,” Jenny said. “He said he was stressed and I didn’t question him because there’s too much going on already.” Jenny’s Instagram page boasts over a million Instagram followers, including other celebrity clients in addition to Cardi.

“He wasn’t looking for financial gain when he lit that match, so there’s no fraud here, it’s just frustration, it’s just that human thing where you just meltdown,” attorney Darnell Crosland further defended Billy. He added that his client was working in the store from 2 in the afternoon until 4 the next morning and suffered a mental breakdown from the stress. They lost over $100,000 in supplies in the fire. “The remorse that he has, he understands that it’s Jenny’s business, it’s her baby and these people are personal to her,” Crosland said.

Gunplay’s Wife Vonshae Taylor-Morales Speaks Out Following His Arrest

October 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent turn of events, the rapper Gunplay found himself in handcuffs once again for violating a restraining order issued by his estranged wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales. This incident, which marked the eighth time he had defied the order, raised concerns about the safety of Vonshae and her child. Following the arrest, Vonshae decided to break her silence, taking to Instagram to share a heartfelt statement expressing her gratitude for the protection she and her daughter received, and to shed light on the difficult journey she has endured. “My daughter and I are safe, we are back home with my family and support system until this is over,” she wrote. “Although this has been very frightening, I am beyond thankful that the house arrest officers and sheriffs department kept my daughter safe before anything horrible happened.”

“Regardless of how the public may feel about my mistakes and recent choices, I am still human,” she said. “No mother and child should have to constantly uproot their life and live in fear of a man. I really want to take this time to heal in a safe space. Put all of this behind me and get on the path I started on before I met him. I can admit I have been under intense stress and pressure this past year. I haven’t handle any of it the best way.” The incident that prompted Vonshae’s statement took place on October 25th when Gunplay’s GPS ankle monitor went off, alerting authorities to his proximity to her home. The Florida Department of Corrections Community Control immediately notified the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s deputies, who swiftly detained Gunplay before he could interact with Vonshae and her child.

Moreover, she took the time to let her followers know she’s OK. “There has been a lot built up, misplaced anger,” she continued to write. “I’m ready to let go and let god. Thank you guys for the prayers and well wishes.” Vonshae acknowledged her mistakes and recent choices, highlighting that despite her public image, she is still human. The statement calls attention to the plight of mothers who find themselves constantly uprooting their lives and living in fear of someone, even when protected by the law.

The statement also shed light on the immense stress and pressure Vonshae had been under in the past year. She admitted to not always handling it in the best way, expressing that there had been a buildup of misplaced anger. This candid admission serves as a reminder of the hidden struggles people face behind closed doors, emphasizing the need for support and compassion. Vonshae concluded her statement by expressing her readiness to let go and let God take control of her life. This declaration is a testament to her resilience and determination to move past the dark chapter she has been living through. Her message serves as an inspiration to anyone facing adversity and striving to reclaim their life’s direction.

Jonathan Major’s Ex Surrenders To Police On Assault Charges

October 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Grace Jabbari, the ex-girlfriend of actor Jonathan Majors, has surrendered to police in New York after her arrest was sought for an assault against Majors. Majors filed a cross-complaint against Jabbari in June amid an investigation into assault charges she filed against him in March. Jabbari is accused of hitting Majors’ hand and face, as well as damaging his coat. The confrontation reportedly occurred in the back of a New York cab.

Jabbari was charged with misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief. However, the DA has reportedly told the NYPD that they will not prosecute Jabbari. Per TMZ, a spokesperson for the DA’s office said that they have “no intention of prosecuting Jabbari for the belated allegations made by defendant [Majors] regarding the incident on March 25, 2023.” In short, the DA is not interested in pursuing their key witness for charges their primary defendant raised three months after the incident in question.

Majors Trial Set For Late November

Meanwhile, Majors finally has a trial date to face his own charges of misdemeanor assault. Judge Michael Gaffey denied a motion to drop the charges against the actor. Furthermore, he set a trial date of November 29. However, Majors’ defense team requested that any “contested evidence” remain sealed in order to maintain a level of neutrality in the court of public opinion. “The disclosure of sensitive information will limit Mr. Majors’ right to a fair trial,” his attorneys argued.

Majors is only facing criminal charges on his alleged actions against Jabbari. However, several other women came forward with similar allegations of violence against Majors. These women came forward in the months after the alleged March assault. Furthermore, a Rolling Stone investigation painted a picture of violence and manipulation that dated back as far as Majors’ time at Yale. The trial remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Mad Muzik Cali Accused Of Murdering His Pregnant Ex Girlfriend

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mad Muzik Cali, born Justin Rene Lewis, was recently arrested for his alleged involvement in the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Raesha Heard. According to reports, 31-year-old Heard was killed while bringing groceries into her parents’ Georgia home earlier this month. Sadly, she was two months pregnant when she was shot “multiple times.” The rapper has been charged with one count of malice murder.

Police reports claim she was hit “twice in the back, once in the chest, leg and head.” The tragic incident also played out in front of her nine-year-old son. Allegedly, the “child’s father” had asked her to terminate the pregnancy, though Lewis says there’s only a “possibility” that the child was his.

The police report also states that the same man had fired shots towards Heard’s car just “a few months earlier,” though the incident hadn’t been reported. She hadn’t been injured at the time due to the fact that “the clip fell out the weapon.” In 2017, Lewis was also a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife Sidni Dalcour, but was never charged. The Shade Room’s Justin Carter spoke with Dalcour’s sister Traci, who detailed the alleged abuse that Sidni endured throughout their relationship. “She was married to Justin for five years — he was really abusive to her. He fought her a lot like he gave her black eyes, he put her in the hospital, she had to have staplers in her head,” she alleged.

Delcour was similarly found “shot to death” in her car in New Orleans in May of 2017. According to the late woman’s cousin, Moriah Dyer, Lewis was suspected by her family right away. “We all instantly knew he had something to do with it,” she said. “Like my cousin said, she [Sidni] had no problems with nobody. She was loved. She was adored by everybody.” Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Envy is coming under fire on social media for a resurfaced video in which he and his longtime business partner, Cesar Pina, offer a free chain to those who attend a financial advice seminar in Atlantic City. The social media trolling comes after Pina was arrested for wire fraud amid accusations that he de-frauded would-be investors with an alleged real estate Ponzi scheme.

“DJ Envy and his co-defendants were giving their victims chains,” a tweet sharing the video reads. In the clip, Envy explains that he and Pina are “gonna be giving one lucky person one of these chains,” at the event. He continues: “Now, these chains are serious. Whoever we give these chains to, in our camp, or our friends, they own properties and they invest. So, we’re gonna be giving one lucky person one of these chains.”

Pina was arrested by federal agents over the weekend. According to court documents obtained by ABC 7, “Pina and his business partner, a well-known disc jockey and radio personality, operated a company that conducted real estate seminars around the country. Together, they used [DJ Envy’s] celebrity to promote various real estate enterprises that Pina controlled.” Lawyer Alexander Schachtel added: “He also very aggressively and vocally promoted Mr. Pina as his business partner on social media.” Pina has pleaded not guilty and is out on a $1 million bond.

Envy has denied his involvement in the alleged Ponzi scheme. His attorney, Massimo F. D’Angelo, told Billboard in an interview, last week: “Envy had no involvement whatsoever. The only reason he’s being dragged into this is because he’s a public figure.” Be on the lookout for further updates on the case against Cesar Pina on HotNewHipHop.

Boosie Badazz Demands Yung Bleu Repay The “Millions” He Reportedly Owes

October 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Yung Bleu being behind bars wasn’t going to stop Boosie from trying to get what he was owed. “CAN U DO THE RIGHT THING N GET ME MY MILLIONS THAT WAS TAKEN FROM ME? U KNOW I FUCKED OVER BIG TIME!! WHY YOU DONT WANNA PAY ME” Boosie wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Also included in the post was a now-deleted Instagram post in which Bleu bragged about dropping $2M on building a facility for himself. Bleu was once signed to Boosie’s label. However, Boosie maintains that he lost out on millions when Bleu signed with EMPIRE. Furthermore, Boosie claims that the document releasing Bleu from his Bad Azz contract included a forgery of Boosie’s signature.

Bleu was arrested this week on battery charges after allegedly assaulting a woman in Georgia. However, the rapper has denied the charges. “I’m off this internet thing but I will take time to tell all my ladies that may be a fan of Bleu: I cherish women and I’m completely innocent. Just [know] this about to be one of [the] toughest times to be a fan of mines because I’ma about to go into another bracket as an OWNER and entrepreneur and people hate,” the rapper wrote on Instagram.

Boosie Still Feuding With Bleu

Of course, this isn’t the first time that the two rappers have recently clashed. Last month, Bleu abruptly canceled his 17-show tour after performing less than half the shows. “Words can’t explain how I feel about the remainder of this tour being canceled. I sincerely apologize to every fan I disappointed. When things like this happen the only person to blame is ‘the artist’ so I accept it. I won’t make excuses. I was honestly having so much fun wasn’t ready to go home. A man cannot do anything if his house is not in order. With that said, I will be back to give FREE shows to every city we missed. My team is working around the clock to make this happen. Once again I appreciate you all and I hope I didn’t lose any fans in the process,” Bleu wrote on Instagram.

It appears that there were two incidents that led to the cancellation of the tour. Firstly, Bleu faced significant backlash after a Philadelphia woman claimed that Bleu had flown her out to one of his shows. That caused the rapper to apologize to his wife for the indiscretion. Secondly, the aforementioned contract dispute with Boosie emerged, adding yet another cloud over the already shaky perception of Bleu. In the month between his tour cancellation and his arrest, there has been no update on the “free shows” he promised to fans.

SSSniperwolf Reportedly Arrested Twice In The Last Ten Years

October 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

SSSniperwolf, the controversial YouTuber facing major backlash for doxxing another creator, reportedly has something of a criminal past. Social media detectives have discovered two arrest records for SSSniperwolf under her real name, Alia Shelesh. In 2013, the YouTuber was arrested on an armed robbery charge in Arizona. Details are scarce on what happened. However, she has previously explained that she was caught shoplifting and proceeded to assault a plainclothes security guard. The second arrest came in 2016. SSSniperwolf subsequently addressed the arrest in a YouTube video. She stated that her neighbors called the police after they heard the YouTuber fighting with her boyfriend. SSSniperwolf was booked on a disorderly conduct charge.

While neither arrest led to any particularly serious consequences, they are being used against the YouTuber as a testament of her character. Her detractors have used them to paint a picture of the sort of person that YouTube is going out of its way to protect. At the time of writing, YouTube is still yet to make a formal statement about the doxxing of Jacksfilms. Furthermore, some have made as yet unsubstantiated claims that YouTube has quietly amended its Terms of Services. This has reportedly been in order to avoid having to take action against SSSniperwolf.

SSSniperwolf Accused Of Inappropriate Conduct With Minors In Old Videos

so neighbors called cops cuz they heard screaming & I got arrested for disorderly conduct lol at my mugshot tho pic.twitter.com/llkNQrfr4L

— Lia (@sssniperwolf) August 14, 2016

However, SSSniperwolf is also facing some much more serious accusations. The YouTuber has reportedly deleted a number of videos in which she asks minors to twerk for her. Screenshots and reaction videos made other creators show SSSniperwolf offering to show her breasts to the individuals in question if they twerk for her. In another video, the YouTuber explicitly asks a girl to flash her breasts at the camera. However, the onscreen chatlog in her video also shows that the girl in question identified themselves as being 16 years old.

Despite these mounting allegations, SSSniperwolf appears unconcerned. She has continued to upload her content throughout the week and has not addressed any of the allegations directly. Furthermore, her immediate response to the doxxing accusations was to double down on her behavior and make jokes about the situation.

Yung Bleu Arrested For Allegedly Throwing Woman To The Ground

October 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, it was revealed that Yung Bleu was arrested earlier this week for battery after a custody dispute. Georgia’s Hall County Sheriff’s Office spoke with TMZ Hip Hop about the incident, claiming officers were dispatched to the scene after receiving a call from a woman on October 15. According to them, the woman told them that the rapper had shown up to her house unannounced. They allege that he tried to take a 10-year-old child out of the house with him, resulting in a physical altercation.

The woman told police that her argument with Yung Bleu took a turn for the worst when he allegedly picked her up and threw her on the ground. She says that she’s suffered injuries to her arm and hip as a result. He then reportedly left with the child, but brought them back soon after.

According to authorities, the alleged victim was evaluated by EMTs, but decided not to go to the hospital. Sources told the outlet that he then met with officials, who arrested him for misdemeanor battery. After getting booked at the Hall County Jail, he was released days later on a $2,400 bond.

This isn’t the only unfortunate situation Yung Bleu’s gotten himself into as of late. Last month, a woman named Tenom also came forward claiming that he flew her out to spend the day with him, despite him being married. This resulted in his wife, Tiemeria, announcing that she wants a divorce. While she had a lot to say about his infidelity online, he later issued a public apology to her for his actions. “[You’re] such a good woman,” he told her. “Solid. Rare. And I love and appreciate you. It’s a lot that this industry bring. It’s a fast life.” What do you think of Yung Bleu’s recent arrest?
