Jacquees Bit A Woman Before Attempting To Flee In A Ferrari During Arrest: Report

June 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jacquees was arrested for simple battery and willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, last week, for allegedly biting a female employee at a bar near the Mall of Georgia and trying to flee in a Ferrari. Further details on the arrest have been reported by WSBTV.

The outlet reports that witnesses called the police to the Local Tap bar around 11:30 PM on Thursday. There, they complained that the singer was being “loud and boisterous.” The battery victim told police Jacquees choked her and bit her on the hand. It’s unclear if the two knew each other prior to the incident.

Police eventually tracked down Jacquees at a nearby parking lot. There, he resisted arrest and fled the scene. At the time of his arrest, the arresting officer wrote in his statement: “The defendant did not obey my command and instead kept driving the vehicle at a low rate of speed with heavy traffic still northbound on Ocean Drive. He was then asked again to pull over and to provide me with his driver’s license. The defendant once again refused to obey a lawful command from this officer.”

“Additional officers had to be requested in emergency mode due to the large crowd gathering and the defendant still not complying,” the statement continued. “It should be noted that the defendant’s actions disrupted the peace and quiet and public morals of bystanders on a busy spring break day on ocean drive in Miami Beach.”

After the booking, Jacquees’ mugshot went viral on social media. He eventually paid a $3,700 bond to get out of jail. Jacquees was nominated for best male R&B artist at the BET Awards in 2020. He’s collaborated with Lil Baby, Young Thug, Future, and more over the course of his career. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jacquees’ case on HotNewHipHop.

Lawsuit Over Young Thug’s Canceled Concert Dismissed In New York

June 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The lawsuit regarding Young Thug’s canceled performance at the New York Fairgrounds in 2021 has been dismissed. Promoters of the event filed the lawsuit claiming that the State of New York failed to properly promote and sell tickets to the event, thus causing its cancelation. They alleged “racial animus” towards the relevant parties.

The New York Law Journal explained the lawsuit: “Defendants’ failure to fulfill their contractual obligations was allegedly grounded on racial animus toward plaintiffs, to the race of Young Thug, to the concert, and to the perceived race of the anticipated concertgoers.” U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes of the Northern District of New York granted the State of New York’s request to dismiss the case. They successfully argued that the state, as an entity, counts as a corporation and not a person.

The New York show isn’t the only Young Thug concert that resulted in a lawsuit. Concert promoter, A-1 Concert Entertainment, sued the rapper for missing a show in Atlanta, GA, in August 2022. They claim that Thug hasn’t sent them back their $150,000 advance. He was unable to attend after his arrest in the YSL RICO case.

“Due to his arrest and the nature of the felony criminal charges against Williams, it was immediately apparent in May 2022 that he would not be able to perform as required in the agreement,” the filing said, as noted by HipHopDX. “To date, A-1 Concert has not received any reimbursement of the $150,000 owed to it.”

As for Thug’s ongoing trial, his lawyer recently filed to have the judge dismiss the case due to the statute of limitations. Whether that move will yield any positive results remains unclear. The tactic comes after Thug dropped his third studio album Business is Business.

Kodak Black Reportedly Surrenders To Authorities Over Arrest Warrant

June 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After reports emerged of Kodak Black receiving another arrest warrant, reports indicate that he turned himself into authorities. Moreover, authorities previously arrested the rapper on drug charges, resulting in a lengthy legal process that saw many speed bumps on his way. For example, this isn’t the first time that Yak received an arrest warrant for allegedly violating the terms of his release. For those unaware, these included mandatory drug tests, some of which came out positive or weren’t submitted in the first place. Moreover, it seems like the latter point is what prompted this latest arrest.

Kodak Black dealt with these issues in his case stemming from July 2022 as he continued his musical career. Recently, he released his album Pistolz & Pearlz and also joined French Montana for their latest single “I Can’t Lie.” Regardless, these legal issues have been quite hard for the Florida MC to dodge as of late, and time will tell how his case develops. That being said, his defense team, led by attorney Bradford Cohen, is intent on proving their client’s compliance and innocence.

Kodak Black Reportedly Turned Himself In

Speaking of Cohen, he recently compared Kodak Black’s case to Hunter Biden’s. “2 tiers of justice?” he remarked on Instagram “Kodak was charged for the same crime. Got over 3 years. Mr. Biden will not serve a day. Feels right? Do FBI agents and federal authorities take cases personally? I’m going to discuss this on my subscriber page.” In addition, he also spoke of the issue on Fox News.

“There’s no such thing as not getting jail time on a gun charge on any kind of gun charge,” Cohen said of the Hunter Biden case. “I’ve never seen anyone where this offense was charged and they didn’t get some sort of prison sentence. Most of the time in federal court, you very rarely see people get anything but a prison sentence. I think that this is like, you know, they figured the easiest way for them to save face [was] to charge him, not give him prison, and then hope that [Joe] Biden doesn’t give him a pardon until he’s on his way out two years.” For more news and the latest updates on Kodak Black, log back into HNHH.

Quando Rondo Granted $100K Bond

June 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Authorities indicted Quando Rondo earlier this month on gang and drug-related charges alongside 18 other individuals. Moreover, the 49-count indictment alleges that the rapper has a large hand in managing the Rollin’ 60s gang in Georgia, along with several other crimes involving substances. Although this spelled out nasty news for the MC, it seems like he did his best efforts to comply promptly and respectfully in regards to his arrest warrant. In the short time in between his arrest and the public hearing more details, not much was known apart from the arrest on drug charges. Now, the case began significant development in the courtroom, and some of those proved to be positive for Rondo.

Furthermore, the Recovery artist sought bond following his incarceration, which authorities deferred for the time being. However, new reports from WSB-TV indicate that the court eventually granted him bond at $100K. Not only that, but his cooperation regarding his quick arrest after a warrant actually helped him out in this regard. “The court finds it significant that the defendant surrendered himself for arrest the day after he learned of the warrant for his arrest,” the judge reportedly stated. In addition, Quando Rondo must give up his passports, refuse contact with codefendants, and attend every court hearing.

Quando Rondo Gets Bond

Regardless, the rhymer still faces multiple challenges in the courtroom. One of those came from prosecutors who alleged that he told his peers to “get their guns” when they saw his enemies at a movie theater. Surely more alleged details will surface as the potential case keeps developing, whether they paint Quando Rondo in a good or bad light. What’s more is that his defense team used his strong label connections and musical career to argue for his freedom.

“He’s got the support of one of the greatest record labels in this country,” attorney Jonah Pine said of his label, Atlantic Records, per WTOC. “The same record label as Led Zeppelin and Ray Charles, that’s his label. They’ve provided a letter to us, it’s very heartfelt and talks about his career.” While we wait for updates, check back in with HNHH for the latest news on Quando Rondo.

Prosecutors Allege Quando Rondo Told Affiliates To Get Their Guns After Seeing His Opps

June 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Prosecutors have claimed in court that Quando Rondo called on his affiliates to get their guns after seeing his opps at a movie theater. The state is arguing that they shouldn’t release the rapper on bond following his arrest on drug charges. DJ Akademiks shared a clip of the prosecution’s comments on Instagram, Sunday.

All-in-all, Rondo has been charged with two counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances law, one count of participating in criminal activity affiliated with a street gang, and one count of illegal use of a cell phone to facilitate a drug deal.

In Rondo’s defense, his attorney, Jonah Pine, argued that his client belongs to “one of the greatest record labels in this country” and that they’re willing to speak up for him. “He’s got the support of one of the greatest record labels in this country,” Pine said. “The same record label as Led Zepplin and Ray Charles, that’s his label. They’ve provided a letter to us, it’s very heartfelt and talks about his career.”

On the other hand, the prosecution argues that Rondo is a top figure in the Rollin’ 60s gang and is dangerous to the public. “The Rollin’ 60s are currently one of the largest and most violent street gangs in Savannah. That man is a leader of it. That is a dangerous community,” said state attorney Christian Stolfe.

Charleston White Claims To Be Responsible For Bricc Baby’s Arrest

June 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charleston White recently hopped on social media to let followers know that he was behind the arrest of Bricc Baby. White explained that the rapper had a “$10,000 stack on his head,” which he says he had his eye on.

“I made a federal report, N***a,” White explains, “First I called Houston and made the report to Houston.” He then reveals that a friend of his who works in law enforcement assisted him in making the report. “He’s now going around telling all the gang information,” he claims. “The feds see he’s got a loose lip,” White continues, “So he may give up some information.” “I’m telling you the honest to God truth,” he insists, “It’s what I did.”

Charleston White Says He Just Wanted A “Bag”

“All I wanted was a bag,” White continues, flashing his “special forces” badge. Charleston White shared his thoughts on another rapper’s arrest earlier this month. After Boosie Badazz was taken into custody following a court appearance on June 14, White took to social media to weigh in. He told Boosie, “Now, God done also gave you what you asked for. You want to be a hero to the streets? You want to be a street prophet? So God needs a Daniel. And who better to play Daniel than you?” “Since you so muthaf**king gangsta and you got all these gangsta codes and ethics, put your suit on like Melle Mel, ni**a, ’cause you ’bout to be sentenced,” he claimed.

Last month, White also accused Finesse2Tymes of child neglect, reporting him to officials. “I wanna make a report of child neglect and child endangerment,” he said on the phone call to police, “I got a video that was sent to me that was made by this child online making threats.” He went on to tell officials, “There’s videos of this child in the clubs at night with convicts, thugs around drugs and guns, and the kid’s name is Lil King. He’s a popular little rapper, so I have a video that I can send you that you guys can really pull up on YouTube called ‘Lil King Goes In On Charleston White.’”

Boosie Badazz Reportedly Threatened Bodyguards For Not Claiming His Guns

June 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While he’s already out of jail on bond, Boosie Badazz’s gun case shook things up for him for a while, and could still face heavy consequences. Moreover, new allegations surfaced concerning his May 7 arrest this year that have to do with his attitude towards his bodyguards. For those unaware, authorities apparently spotted the Baton Rouge rapper with a gun on his waist on social media and tracked him down. Eventually, they found him in the Chollas View neighborhood in San Diego, California and discovered two guns in his SUV in a traffic stop. Now, prosecutors are making these claims concerning what role his security played- or rather, didn’t- in all of this.

Furthermore, lawyers once again brought forth accusations on Thursday (June 22) that Boosie threatened his bodyguards, ABC 10 News reports. Moreover, the threats reportedly stemmed from security not assuming ownership of the uncovered firearms in the vehicle they rode in. “You’re gonna to be in a body bag,” the 40-year-old allegedly told his guards. Michael Wheat, Assistant U.S. Attorney, expressed to the judge in the case that this raised concerns for the safety of these individuals.

Boosie’s Alleged Threats Brought Forth By Prosecutors

However, the former Trill Entertainment artist’s defense team pointed out some inconsistencies with these allegations stacked up against official police reports. For example, his lawyer Meghan Blanco said that the threat prosecutors claim occurred is nowhere to be found in reports from the officers involved in the arrest. In fact, she maintained that these accusations only surfaced after authorities arrested Boosie on federal charges over a month later. As such, it’s unclear how much these accusations will impact the case, or how deeply the court will go in its investigation.

Meanwhile, the rapper recently blasted the prosecution for their “racist” appeal of his bond. “After the judge has granted me a bond, and I paid my full cash amount the prosecution refuse to respect the judges decision to let me go,” he tweeted. “They showed no evidence of me being a flight risk or a danger to the community. This is total misconduct from a prosecutor. He is racist and has evil intentions. Now they filed an appeal asking another judge to keep me in prison. Even my attorneys have never seen nothing like this in their career.” Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Boosie Badazz.

Island Boy Kodiyakredd’s Arrest Footage Leaks: “You Profiling Me”

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the Island Boys, Kodiyakredd, was arrested last month following a domestic dispute. The artist, born Franky Venegas, was taken into custody for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend at the time. His now-ex, Amina Sobhi, claimed that she had attempted to break things off with him due to his “physically abusive behavior.” She alleges that the breakup attempt resulted in Venegas hitting her and pushing her into a pool. He was later charged with domestic battery. New leaked footage of the arrest shows the 21-year-old claiming to be profiled by a police officer.

“On my dead daddy you profiling me,” Venegas is heard screaming from the back of a police car in the footage. “I don’t care bro you’re profiling me. I swear to God…babe he’s profiling me.” He later claimed that he was being arrested for “no reason,” telling the officer that he “didn’t do nothing, homie.” Venegas is then shown in police custody, continuing to argue with officers. He shouts, “You see my juvenile record? My juvenile record’s extensive.” “Ok don’t play with me bro,” he also warns, “Alright bro, shut your Indian-a*s up. Don’t play with me. Real talk man stop playing with me.”

“I’m telling you, bro. I’m not the one to play with,” he’s later heard explaining, “What you make $20,000 a year, bro?” “I’ll make that in a day, I made that yesterday,” Venegas continues, “C’mon bro don’t come at me cuz, I’m not the one to play with.”

The other Island Boy, Flyysoulja, also recently took to social media to threaten to “beat [Snoop Dogg’s] a*s.” Snoop had made fun of the twins during a Peacock special alongside Kevin Hart, calling them “Two goofballs in the pool.” “If he were to say that to me in real life, on sight I would fade,” Flyysoulja responded at the time. “I swear to God on everything in my life I would.” Later, Snoop revealed on Instagram that he “don’t want no [smoke]” with the Island Boys.

Kodak Black Receives Another Arrest Warrant

June 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black has unfortunately found himself in a lot of legal trouble this past year stemming from a July 2022 arrest. Said incarceration came on charges of oxycodone trafficking, controlled substance possession without prescription, and an expired driver’s license and tags. While he posted bond at $75,000, the release came under pretrial conditions of drug testing, which he previously allegedly violated back in February of this year in addition to failing a drug test. Now, the rapper received another arrest warrant and affidavit for not showing up to a pretrial meeting and for once again breaking the terms of the pretrial and release agreement.

Moreover, this news comes from Local 10 News in Broward County, who gained access of the court documents in question. According to the report, authorities signed the affidavit on June 13, detailing Kodak Black’s failure to comply with drug testing on June 9. Subsequently, they signed the arrest warrant the next day (June 14). In addition, the warrant seems to indicate that there will be no bond, though that is something that he could try to appeal. He will appear in court on Monday (June 26), as the case timeline indicates.

Furthermore, his defense team is actually not just dealing with the Kodak Black case, but commenting on other legal troubles in rap. For example, Yak’s attorney Bradford Cohen stated via Instagram that he believes it will be hard for prosecutors to convict YNW Melly in his double murder case. “Day 2 is coming up on the YNW Melly case,” he wrote. “The first few days of trial are not that interesting in regards to a story or the real meat of the case… This case is going to be very technical with phones and date etc. But again, they can’t say someone else didn’t get in the car or someone else did the shooting. I think the case has built in reasonable doubt, and I saw a lot of the discovery while I was on the case. Like I said, this will be a tough case for the prosecution.”

All this being said, the 26-year-old continues to make efforts to uplift his community despite his woes. Recently, he attended a teen leadership conference in Florida, treating fans to a performance. While his struggles in court are worrisome, his charitable efforts will likely leave a much more lasting legacy. For more news and the latest updates on Kodak Black, check back in with HNHH.
