Kodak Black Blasts Trump Haters

by

Donald Trump’s indictment and subsequent stint in police custody shook the news world recently, and Kodak Black is done with people “hating” on No. 45. Moreover, he took to his Instagram Live to vent about the reception to Trump’s arrest, namely people celebrating it. For those unaware, authorities arraigned and arrested the former president on Tuesday (April 4) on 34 felony counts for falsifying New York business records before the 2016 election. Also, his charges relate to a hush money fund set up to silence porn star Stormy Daniels for their involvements together. Even with all that in mind, Yak is sticking by Trump.

“I feel like these people are on some other s**t,” the Florida rapper ranted to his Instagram followers. “They are trying to get Trump out the way cause Trump a stand-up n***a. [Joe] Biden will let a n***a do anything. Trump is a real n***a. He’s a soldier. It ain’t how he snapped for a n***a. It ain’t even about that. Trump already had big baggage. Luggage. Y’all get off Trump, man.” Given Trump’s pardon of Kodak for falsifying records, the MC’s support is, at the very least, reciprocal and thankful. After all, it’s rare for people in Yak’s position to get any sort of empathy, justice, or even consideration from the powers that be, which is something he must deeply appreciate.

Kodak Black Defends Trump

Of course, that didn’t stop people from calling the 25-year-old out online over his support of the disgraced politician. Also, this assessment comes as the 76-year-old gave an inflammatory and conspiratorial first speech after indictment to supporters in Mar-a-Lago. “They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they try to beat us through the law,” he stated. “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.”

Regardless of his words, many hope that true justice will see the light of day in this historic and surreal case. While it’s worrisome to see this happen to a democratically elected president, at least the extent of his crimes are finally being held accountable. For people like Kodak Black, though, they have to reckon with being on the good side of the wrong side of history.

Plies Reacts To Donald Trump’s Indictment: “I Know The Feeling”

by

Plies reacted to Donald Trump’s arraignment on Twitter, Tuesday, as the former President appeared in court in Manhattan. During his unprecedented court appearance, Trump pled not guilty to 34 felony charges of falsifying business records. The charges come in connection to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

“I Know The Feeling My Boy!!!” Plies wrote while sharing a picture of Trump in court. The rapper then complained that Trump won’t have his mugshot taken for the arrest. “Is There Anybody U Know Ever Been Charged With 34 Felonies & The System Said: “When U Turn Yourself In We Good On The Mugshot U Ain’t Gotta Take It”???” he asked. Plies wasn’t the only one with this question. Boosie also complained about the lack of a Trump mug shot.

Despite not getting a mugshot, the Trump campaign is selling t-shirts with fake mugshots on them. They feature the phrase “NOT GUILTY” below it. The shirt is free with a $47 contribution to the campaign and also available individually for $36 from Trump’s campaign merchandise store. Trump is currently campaigning for the 2024 election.

After his appearance in court on Tuesday, Trump returned to his home at Mar-a-Lago, where he delivered his first speech since the indictment. “They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they try to beat us through the law,” Trump said. From there, he added: “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.”

[WATCH] Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump’s Arrest Places Him Alongside Mandela and Jesus as ‘Incredible People in History’

by
Marjorie Taylor Greene

Former President Donald Trump has been arrested, arraigned and is back on a plane to Mar-a-Lago. With that under his belt, opinions and fall out from the moment in American History will pour out. One of the early statements comes from Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Speaking with RSBN, Taylor Greene let off an eyebrow-raising set of comparisons for Trump:

“President Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today. Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus! Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government. There have been many people throughout history that have been arrested and persecuted by radical corrupt governments, and it’s beginning today in New York City and I just can’t believe it’s happening, but I’ll always support him. He’s done nothing.”

Before his arraignment, Trump issued a statement on Truth Social, the Twitter alternative social platform that he leads.

“Headed to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL – WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!”

Donald Trump Turns Himself Into Authorities In NYC

by

Donald Trump has turned himself in to authorities in the Manhattan district attorney’s office for his alleged role in a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The former president of the United States arrived at the district attorney’s office around 1:30 PM, ET, where he was met by both supporters and protesters. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and George Santos were both in attendance.

“Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL,” he posted on Truth social minutes before his arrival. “WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America.” Politico reports that it is unlikely he has his mug shot taken, although he will be fingerprinted. Trump will remain in custody throughout the day until his arraignment. Afterward, he will be free to leave without posting bail.

Trump announced on Truth Social that he expected to be arrested in the near future, last month. He’s since slammed the merits of the case against him many times. “The Corrupt D.A. has no case. What he does have is a venue where it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get a Fair Trial (it must be changed!), and a Trump Hating Judge, hand selected by the Soros backed D.A. (he must be changed!). Also has the DOJ working in the D.A.’s Office – Unprecedented!” he wrote in one post.

The indictment against him is still under seal so the exact charges are unknown to the public. However, NBC reports that there are about 30 counts related to document fraud. For Tuesday’s arraignment, cameras will not be allowed in the courtroom, although a number of photographers have been given permission to take pictures for a brief period.

The former president reportedly plans to give a speech tonight from Mar-a-Lago after he returns home. The speech is scheduled for 8:15 PM, ET. With the arrest, Trump has become the first former president in U.S. history to be charged with a crime.

Megan Thee Stallion Fan Arrested For Impersonating Police Officer In Hopes Of Meeting Houston Hottie

by

Some fans would do anything to meet Megan Thee Stallion – including face felony charges for impersonating an officer. This past weekend, local barber Trayvone Lil Darus Stevenson did just that, dressing as a member of the K-9 unit last Friday (March 31) to catch the rap diva’s first performance of the year at the AT&T Block Party. According to ABC 13, the man successfully gained admission into the concert by telling the administration on-site that he was working as security for the sold-out event.

While he surely felt great about making it into the venue, Stevenson was ultimately arrested around 8 PM, before the object of his desire even began her performance. It seems the 28-year-old spent his weekend at the Harris County Jail. Now, he’s facing charges of impersonating a public servant. Attorneys working on the case claim that the accused “has no qualifications as any type of law enforcement officer.” It’s also worth noting that the barber didn’t bring a dog with him to the AT&T Block Party, despite choosing to dress in a K-9 unit vest.

Houston Barber Dresses as K-9 Officer to Meet Megan Thee Stallion

Yesterday (April 3), Stevenson was granted a $15,000 bond by the judge presiding over his antics, KHOU reported. Because he has no previous record, he was able to bond out following his hearing, court records reveal. Despite the relatively quick release, Prosecutor Mathew Jackson made it abundantly clear that “this is still a felony case,” and what the Houstonian hairstylist attempted to pull off is a serious breach of the law. “Megan Thee Stallion is a fantastic draw, big draw, especially here in Houston, but this is still a felony case. You cannot go and impersonate an officer to get into a concert venue,” he insisted.

The 28-year-old hasn’t responded to the situation herself, which is completely understandable seeing as she had the most jam-packed weekend we’ve seen in a minute. Aside from performing in her hometown for the first time in years, Thee Stallion also threw the first pitch at an Astros game in a curve-hugging all-white outfit a few days ago. On top of that, she also linked up with Shania Twain at the annual Country Music Awards, which you can read all about here. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Brittney Taylor Of “L&HH” Fame Allegedly Beat Baby Daddy With A Bat, Charged With Assault & Arrested

by

While we await further updates on Jonathan Majors’ surprising arrest, TMZ has come through with word of more celebrity drama that ended in a Love & Hip-Hop: New York star being put behind bars. Earlier this month, Brittney Taylor was arrested after allegedly assaulting her baby daddy with a baseball bat. According to law enforcement sources, the reality starlet and her ex, Afeez, were fighting recently. At the time, she aggressively struck him with the weapon.

The pair share a 2-year-old and an 8-month-old. At the time of the alleged fight, the children’s father was flying into NYX to see his children. Due to past issues between him and Taylor, Afeez notably planned to maintain his distance. He and his mother were reportedly leaving his baby mama’s apartment. The young ones in tow, but when he ignored a comment from her, she blew it. It remains unclear exactly what was said. However, it upset the east coaster enough for her to punch Afeez in the face.

Brittney Taylor’s Baby Daddy Drama

The accompanying criminal complaint notes that the children were present at the time. Afeez opted to leave the residence after being hit. Unfortunately, Taylor decided to continue the altercation by following him outside with a bat. She used it to strike him, which resulted in a laceration and significant facial bleeding. The social media personality’s ex went to the hospital for treatment, where he received stitches for the cut above his eye. TMZ says that Brittney Taylor is now facing two charges of assault, one count of endangering the welfare of a child, and one count of criminal possession of a weapon.

A few weeks back, Afeez seemingly posted about being assaulted online, causing speculation to bubble about the possibility of his baby mama’s involvement. While nothing was initially confirmed, it sounds as though internet sleuths who pieced the puzzle together earlier were right. A few years back, Taylor’s L&HH co-star Remy Ma was arrested for allegedly punching her at a concert, though those charges were ultimately dropped. Check out graphic photos of Afeez’s injuries here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Jonathan Majors Charged With Assault, Harassment Following Arrest In NYC: Report

by

The Manhattan DA’s office laid assault and sexual harassment charges against Jonathan Majors following his arrest in New York City on Saturday night. The Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star shocked fans after a woman claimed that he put his hands on her. The accuser claims Majors struck “her about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear” in the formal complaint. She added that he allegedly “put his hand on her neck, causing bruising and substantial pain.”

The charges against Jonathan Majors stemming from the alleged  “domestic dispute” includes: numerous counts of assault in the third degree, attempted assault in the third degree (3), aggravated harassment in the second degree (1), and harassment in the second degree (1). Since his arrest, his attorneys have stated that he’s completely innocent. The Creed III actor was later released by the DA’s office on his own recognizance. He was also provided with a limited order of protection. Paparazzi later caught Jonathan Majors leaving court with a “Freedom” hat. After the news emerged, his rep said, “He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”

Shortly after police arrested Jonathan Majors, his defense attorney Priya Chaudhry issued a statement. Chaudhry said that she expects the charges will be dropped “imminently.” She added that Majors is “completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows.” Chaudhry added, “We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.”

Though Majors hasn’t responded to the claims, Chaudhry added that they have obtained footage from the vehicle. Additionally, they also have testimony from witnesses, which they believe will exonerate Majors on all charges. “This evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations,” Chaudhry added. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding Jonathan Majors’ arrest.

Jonathan Majors Arrest: Alleged Assault Victim Is His Girlfriend, Law Enforcement Says

by

The recent arrest of Jonathan Majors shook the pop culture world, and law enforcement reportedly confirmed that his alleged victim is his girlfriend. Moreover, TMZ recently gave an update on this story where they claim that New York City police gave more details on the shocking incident. Furthermore, these reports suggest that the couple found themselves in a taxi when an argument started between the two. According to TMZ, the 33-year-old’s girlfriend saw that another woman texted his phone, and an altercation ensued. Not only that, but these reports allege that Majors got physical when his girlfriend tried to see these alleged text messages on his device.

Specifically, the report indicates that the Creed III star slapped his girlfriend when she tried to see the messages and then put his hands around her neck. In addition to these details, reports also surfaced that law enforcement responded to a call on Saturday morning (March 25) around the Chelsea area in Manhattan regarding this incident. Afterwards, they rushed Majors’ girlfriend to a nearby hospital after they noticed the visible injuries on her face and body.

Jonathan Majors Faced Arrest For Allegedly Assaulting Girlfriend

Also, they promptly brought the California native into custody and placed him in prison, as they thought there was enough evidence to prove probable cause. However, these fresh reports point to the Marvel actor already leaving jail and being free after his Saturday arrest. Not only that, but a representative for Majors denied any wrongdoing and expressed hope that they’ll clear up the situation.

“He’s done nothing wrong,” they remarked to TMZ. “We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.” Given the actor’s meteoric rise to fame and acclaim, many fans expressed outrage, disappointment, shock, and disbelief on social media. Along with that, many also pointed to an alleged history of similar behavior. Still, given that it’s just social media reactions and this is just breaking, people are taking this with a grain of salt. With that being said, people will make their own research, reach their own conclusions, and wait for more information. On that last point, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Jonathan Majors.

Lil Tjay Exposes Friend For Snitching On Him

by

Lil Tjay’s experienced a tumultuous year following his July 2022 shooting but he also caught a charge back in January for carrying a weapon. Given that he was hospitalized for several months, it seems inevitable that he would take precautionary measures to prevent another incident from occurring. However, it seems as though the rapper may have a rat in his crew who turned on him or at the very least, tipped off authorities, leading to his arrest.

The rapper took to Instagram this week where he detailed the allegations of his friend being a rat. During a stream on Instagram Live, he said that someone close to him, who he identified as Tut, snitched on him to authorities. “Word to my mother I’m on timing n***as is milk, n***a. The n***a Tut is a rat. This shit is beneath me,” he said, claiming that others have tried to hide the truth from him.

Lil Tjay Finds A Rat In His Camp

Tjay explained that he only went out of his way to expose the individual because people wanted to deny the truth. However, he provided a video of a conversation he had with an individual about the allegations. The rapper furiously confronted the person into admitting that there was someone cooperating with police. “N***as is rats.. that’s why n***as don’t wanna talk,” he continued during his live stream. “N***a stop inviting me to come to hood shit. We could play ball, n***a. Y’all n***as know what I’m into, n***a,” he added. 

At this point, it remains unclear what Tjay was dimed out for but considering his arrest earlier this year, it feels as though it could be connected to that. Otherwise, Tjay has returned to the rap game for an official comeback. Along with the success of Ice Spice’s “Gangsta Boo,” he dropped off “Give You Want You Want” in late 2022. In recent months, he’s been on the road far more frequently. Hopefully, a new album is on the way but at this point, it’s unclear when he might drop. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding Lil Tjay’s next project. For now, check out his Instagram Live stream above.
