According to WJCL, the Chatham County District Attorney’s Office has put together a 49-count indictment against the Georgia native and his co-defendants. They’ve been accused of dozens of crimes, such as using a cell phone to conduct illegal activity and gang affiliation.

Update on Quando Rondo’s Arrest

As XXL reports, the indictment notably mentions a June 4 trip to Macon, Georgia. At the time, the “ABG” artist was allegedly travelling to pay a marijuana supplier. On the bright side, Quando’s arrest wasn’t a total surprise. He turned himself into authorities on June 16, sending out a telling tweet to his loved ones early that morning. “I Love You Paris, Italy, Kiyah, My Mama, Tess, My Grandma, Freida,” he wrote. “I’ll Be Bacc!”

At this time, the accused gang member has yet to release an official statement regarding his arrest. Amid the mass hip-hop crime wave that’s unfolding, it’s been increasingly difficult to keep up with the news coming from various cases. The YSL and YFN RICO trials are still unfolding, and YNW Melly is in court this month as his proceedings move forward in Broward County. Interestingly enough, Quando Rondo was venting about wishing he had kept more of his personal life private just weeks before his recent arrest.

June 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Andrew Tate has been arrested in Romania, along with his brother, Tristan, and two Romanian citizens, on charges of human trafficking, rape, and setting up a criminal gang. The charges stem from a criminal investigation for abuses committed against seven women. Authorities have also charged Andrew Tate, specifically, with raping one of the victims.

The Tate brothers will appear at a Bucharest Court Wednesday morning at 11:00 AM, local time (4:00 AM, ET). Prosecutors argue the two seduced their victims by tricking them into thinking they wanted a relationship or marriage. The Tate brothers’ legal team said in a statement that it “will embrace the opportunity to fight in court and present arguments and evidence” to prove their innocence, according to CNN affiliate Antena3.

The team adds that now “the referral of the case to the Bucharest Court, the judge will set a hearing in which he will either communicate the indictment to the defenders chosen by Andrew and Tristan Tate or set a deadline for communicating the indictment by post. At the same hearing, the judge will discuss whether a preventive measure against the defendants is necessary.”

The statement continues: “Our main objective will be to establish the truth and ensure a fair and impartial legal approach by presenting evidence and proof relevant to the case. The referral of the case for trial will allow us to present a comprehensive body of evidence, diligently gathered and prepared over time, which will undoubtedly be essential in exonerating the defendants.”

Tate has been a controversial figure online, with several social media platforms banning him for his behavior. He previously stated that women should “bear some responsibility” for being the victims of sexual assault, among other polarizing comments.

Rot Ken Arrested On Murder & Aggravated Assault Charges In Connection With April Shooting

June 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While all the new music that’s been dropping certainly has our attention, what’s really been taking over the world of rap news lately is a serious crime spree. Both the YSL RICO and YNW Melly’s double murder trials are currently unfolding, and Tory Lanez is still awaiting sentencing after he was jailed for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in late 2022. In addition to those, we saw Boosie Badazz get picked up by federal agents earlier this week. Now, Blanco Tarantino TV reports that 19-year-old rapper Rot Ken has also been taken into custody.

The up-and-coming Atlanta artist – born Kenneth Williams – is facing charges of murder and aggravated assault. Allegations against him stem from a shooting on April 26, ultimately resulting in the death of 24-year-old Usaini Yunusa. 20-year-old Kobe Burns was injured at the time too but thankfully managed to recover. Police reports reveal that the gunfire took place around 6 PM at The Estates at Perimeter on St. Andrews Drive. The accused killers are said to have taken aim at the victims in their vehicle from another car.

Rot Ken’s Mugshot Surfaces Online

Burns, who was allegedly intoxicated when the shooting started, quickly fled the scene. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before he crashed into trees near Interstate Parkway and was later transported to the hospital. There is apparently another suspect connected to the case alongside Ken, though their identity hasn’t been released at this time. Information remains mostly sparse at this time. However, it has been noted that the late Yunusa previously served prison time in Cobb County for weapons-related offences, drug dealing, and gang activity.

As for Rot Ken, he was served his murder warrant while already behind bars for an offence related to his probation. His past criminal record contains convictions including possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, burglary, an theft by receiving stolen property. Elsewhere in the realm of crime and hip-hop, a Memphis man named CEO Teezy was killed earlier this month. His unexpected death came shortly after he was publicly named a person of interest in Young Dolph’s murder, which still remains unsolved by authorities. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Quando Rondo Arrested On Drug Charges

June 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to TMZ, Never Broke Again rapper Quando Rondo was arrested today on various drug charges. The outlet claims that he was booked for two counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances law, and one count of participating in criminal activity affiliated with a street gang, as well as one count of illegal use of a cell phone to facilitate a drug deal. Records say that the artist is currently behind bars in Chatham County.

Quando Rondo, along with 18 other people, was indicted for allegedly conducting drug deals from October of 2022 to June of this year. Prosecutors are claiming that in April, he told one of the other indicted individuals to negotiate prices for marijuana, and later went to Macon, GA to purchase the goods. The artist also allegedly managed the “Rollin’ 60’s” gang, and told other members to avoid carrying weapons in vehicles he was in.

Quando Rondo Accused Of Facilitating A Drug Deal

Several other indicted individuals are also accused of trafficking various controlled substances. This includes 28 grams of fentanyl, over four grams of cocaine, around 20 grams of M30 pills, and hydrocodone pills. They’re also accused of selling drugs out of a Savannah, GA residence. He may have seen the arrest coming, as shortly before he was locked up, Quando Rondo posted a Tweet where he appears to say goodbye to various family members. Hearings for the case are not yet scheduled.

In January of this year, Quando Rondo released his song, “Long Live Pabb.” The song was a response to the death of his close friend, Lul Pab. The rapper and his entourage, including Lul Pab, were attacked in August of 2022. The attack left one member of the crew with minor injuries, and Quando Rondo was caught in the gunfire. Lul Pab was also shot in the attack, eventually leading to his death. Quando Rondo previously told Angela Yee that the incident felt like “an out-of-body experience.”

June 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rapper Boosie Badazz was arrested today according to a spokesperson from the San Diego County District Attorney’s office. The spokesperson stated that Boosie was in court for a recent gun case, which was ultimately dismissed. However, following his court appearance, federal agents arrested Boosie outside the courtroom.

However, Boosie apparently has to deal with a new set of unknown charges following his most recent arrest. It is worth noting that during a performance in San Diego, Boosie encouraged his fans to chant derogatory remarks towards the San Diego police.

Boosie’s Cryptic Tweet

On June 14, TMZ reported on Boosie and his court hearing for the previous gun case in San Diego County. The good news, as we now know, was that the gun case was dismissed. Sadly, Boosie’s new legal issue is now pending. TMZ did not provide details about the reason for his arrest or the charges he may be facing. They simply stated the circumstances leading up to the arrest were unknown. Boosie is no stranger to run-ins with the law, but this is not something that anyone seems to have known about.

Boosie’s tweet following the arrest by federal agents only made the situation seem even more dire. In response to TMZ’s report, Boosie took to Twitter to address the situation and apologize to his kids. He wrote, “I WANNA TAKE THIS TIME TO APOLOGIZE TO MY KIDS, IM SORRY AND I LOVE YALL FOREVER,” accompanied by a praying hands emoji. A tweet like this can definitely be cause for concern, particularly coming from Boosie Badazz. Stay tuned to HNHH for all the latest updates on the rapper’s arrest.

Ariane Davis Reportedly Arrested Following Fight

June 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast member, Ariane Davis, was arrested yesterday according to reports. Davis allegedly got into a physical altercation at an NYC hotel, where police took her into custody. Davis’ attorney describes the incident as a domestic dispute. The fight reportedly took place around 5 a.m. on Monday morning at the Moxy Times Square in Manhattan. A call to 911 later led police to dispatch to scene, which was described as a verbal altercation that allegedly turned into a physical fight.

According to the reports, Davis and the woman were both staying at the hotel at the time of the incident. Police and prosecutors say that the 33-year-old woman who engaged in the alleged fight with Davis sustained minor injuries. Her injuries included scratches on her neck, as well as unspecified injuries to her hands. She also refused medical care at the scene of the incident.

Davis was arraigned on one count of attempted assault and one count of harassment at Manhattan criminal court after being taken into custody on Monday. Prosecutor Stephan Millan claimed that Davis made a statement to police who arrived to the scene that indicated she was guilty. He also stated that the officers “observed scratches on the victim’s neck.” Millan also went on to say that Davis and the woman have a “relationship together and live together.” He then requested that a temporary order of protection be filed, despite the victim not asking for one herself.

“I’ve spoken to the victim and she did state that she did not want a full temporary order of protection, that she is not in fear of her safety,” the prosecutor also claimed. “However, given the relationship with the party,” he continued, “the fact that the defendant already confessed to hitting the complaining victim, that she did hit the complaining victim, the people are requesting a full temporary order of protection.” Judge Soma Syed honored his request for a temporary order of protection, and Davis was later released from police custody. Davis is scheduled to appear again in court at the end of July.

Donald Trump Pleads Not Guilty After Being Arrested For Mishandling Classified Documents

June 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty at a federal courthouse in Miami after being arrested and booked on charges relating to mishandling of classified documents. Similar to his indictment in New York, earlier this year, he did not have to take a mug shot, given the surplus of public photographs that could be used to identify him. During his court appearance, Trump formally entered a plea of “not guilty.”

Alina Habba, one of Trump’s attorneys, explained why he didn’t need a mug shot outside of the courtroom. “President Trump is in a very unique position where he does not need to be given a mugshot, obviously,” she said, as noted by Variety. “He’s not a flight risk. He is the leading candidate of the GOP at the moment. He is going through a process that has been coordinated with the Secret Service and it will all be handled seamlessly.”

On the way to the courthouse, Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social. “ONE OF THE SADDEST DAYS IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE!!!” Trump wrote, before adding in a separate post, “ON MY WAY TO COURTHOUSE. WITCH HUNT!!! MAGA.”

In response to Trump’s arrest, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer remarked: “No one’s above the law, including Donald Trump, and ought to be no political or ideological interference as the case moves forward. We don’t need political interference. We need strong law enforcement and Donald Trump is not above the law, plain and simple.”

All-in-all, Trump faces 37 criminal charges. Among them are counts of retaining classified information, obstructing justice, and making false statements, among others. The worst of the offenses carry prison sentences of up to 20 years.
