Rich Dollaz Speaks On Daughter’s Arrest: “I’m Baffled As Anyone Else”

by

Following the arrest of his daughter, Rich Dollaz has spoken out about the incident. The Love & Hip Hop star was thrust into headlines this week after his daughter, Ashley Trowers, was reportedly taken into custody. She’s accused of shooting the father of her child, Demiah Tatum, when he showed up at her job.

It was said that Trowers was in the middle of her first day at work at a Kroger gas station when Tatum arrived with another man. She reportedly has a restraining order against Tatum, and when she ran, Trowers claims the men chased her in a car.

It was then that Trowers reportedly shot at the vehicle, striking Tatum. She was arrested for aggravated assault.

“I’m baffled as anyone else,” Rich told The Shade Room. While he lives in Dallas, Trowers resides in Memphis. “I’m not with Ashley every day.” He also chastised people who criticized Trowers for working at a Krogers. Rich thinks it’s admirable that his daughter wants to make her own way.

“My daughter is a 20-something-year-old with a newborn baby that lived with her man, and she’s a grown adult,” he also shared. “I found out Ashley worked at Kroger at the same time everyone else did.” Adding, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my daughter wanting to do it on her own.”

“I don’t condone shooting, I don’t condone violence, I don’t condone any of that,” said Rich. “But at the end of the day, I’m never going to be okay with a man putting his hand on my kid, either.”

“Being involved in a situation where a man is putting his hands on you is never good,” he further stated. It seems that his daughter didn’t tell him everything that was going on.

“Ashley’s a grown woman. She’s not a 17-year-old kid living under my roof, she’s not an 18-year-old, she’s not in college anymore. She’s a graduate, she’s done with all that, she’s on her own.”

Additionally, Miracle, Ashley’s mother, also previously got into trouble for shooting her husband. The case was eventually dismissed.

“It was a domestic violence situation with Miracle, the same as it was with Ashley,” said Rich. “Two women were defending themselves, and I’m always going to stand by. Just like when Miracle shot her husband, I stood by her, and I want to stand by my daughter.”

Atlanta police arrested six individuals on Saturday (January 21) after peaceful protests against an activist’s death turned to riots. Moreover, the protests occurred near the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, which many citizens wish to see removed. After the peaceful demonstrations evolved into violent responses, protestors smashed windows, caused chaos, and lit a police vehicle on fire.

“Atlanta Police officers have responded to a group damaging property at several locations along Peachtree [Street],” Atlanta PD stated on Saturday, according to Fox 5. “Several arrests have been made at this time and order has been restored to the downtown space. This is still an active and ongoing investigation and we will not be able to provide specifics on arrests numbers or property damaged, at this time.”

“Atlanta is safe and our police officers have resolved the disruptions downtown from earlier in the evening,” City of Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said on Saturday evening. 

“The City of Atlanta and the Atlanta Police Department will continue to protect the right to peaceful protest,” he added. “We will not tolerate violence or property destruction.”

According to FOX 5 Atlanta, rioters set off fireworks and threw rocks at the Atlanta Police Foundation as well. Furthermore, protestors spoke out against the death of Manuel Esteban Páez Terán at the hands of police. Allegedly, they refused demands from authorities to leave an encampment of protestors against the new facility. Moreover, its detractors nicknamed it “Cop City.” Additionally, authorities announced this new training facility to boost morale and recruitment.

Furthermore, Terán identified as non-binary and went by “Tortuguita,” according to fellow protestors. When police searched encampments near the facility to halt their trespassing, they reportedly shot at police. Later, they died in the ensuing gunfight.

Meanwhile, Georgia governor Brian Kemp expressed that violence in peaceful are unacceptable.

“While the state continues to respect peaceful protest,” they will not tolerate riots of this magnitude. Moreover, he ordered authorities to arrest and prosecute lawbreakers.

However, what do you think of the riots near the Atlanta police training facility? Whatever the case let us know in the comments down below. Also, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story.

Lil Meech Facing No Charges After December Airport Arrest

by

Lil Meech is best known for his work with 50 Cent on BMF. Last December, though, he made headlines for a different reason entirely. Mid-way through the month, the 22-year-old was at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Unfortunately, TSA agents uncovered a 9MM gun in a carry-on bag he put through the security scanner.

According to TMZ, it was actually the actor’s bodyguard who owns both the luggage and the weapon. At the time of the incident, airport employees were informed of the mix-up. They chose to ignore the guard and bust Meech because he had placed the problematic bag on the belt himself.

The Detroit-born star worked with Bradford Cohen on the case. The attorney was able to present indisputable evidence to Broward County prosecutors that the pistol belongs to the bodyguard. He shared the weapon’s purchase receipt, holding case, and permit for the firearm.

Additionally, the celebrity lawyer noted that Meech and his bodyguard have similar tastes in luggage. While they were rushing to catch a flight, the Taurus star accidentally grabbed his staff’s bag, apparently leaving his behind.

The Broward County State Attorney’s Office has since confirmed to TMZ that prosecutors are declining to file a misdemeanour charge against the rapper. This decision comes “because of the facts and evidence available in the case, and the statements made by [Lil Meech] and his employee.”

Upon hearing news of their friend’s arrest last month, famous faces like 50 Cent couldn’t help but tease the young star over his arrest. “What the f*ck! Lil Meech didn’t hear them say cut,” the “Candy Shop” rapper joked in a since-deleted post.

Power star Michael Rainey Jr. chimed in with, “When [tryna] prove ‘BMF’ is more realistic than ‘Power’ goes wrong.”

In other news Meech recently revealed exactly how much cash he dropped on his iconic BMF chain. The tea was spilt during the actor’s appearance on GQ‘s “On The Rocks” series.

“He didn’t get out because the judge wouldn’t [take time] to sign or look at the bond,” said Florio. “It was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“There was a gun that was allegedly found behind the driver’s seat in the back,” Florio said. She further argued that one firearm was “found on the licensed security guard. And two guns in a lock box. They started searching the car and they found the guns.”

“But the security guard, who is a retired federal officer,” she continued. “They didn’t care.”

Meanwhile, at the same time of Tjay’s arrest, Ice Spice was also in the Bronx facing off with police. She was reportedly in a vehicle with a man when they were stopped by officers. The man was arrested and also charged with criminal possession of a firearm.

Following the widespread initial reports, TMZ returned with an update. The outlet was said to have spoken with Tjay’s attorney, Dawn Florio. The lawyer is no stranger to taking on high-profile clients.

Florio reportedly doesn’t believe that those officers legally searched Tjay’s car. The rapper was said to have been a passenger “with several other people,” not the driver. Further, Florio added the car was legally parked on the street and didn’t warrant police attention.

Jaguar Wright’s Wild Interview Clips Resurface After Arrest

by

Authorities recently arrested Jaguar Wright following an alleged domestic dispute with her husband, during which she reportedly dumped her son’s ashes. While many made calls for the R&B singer to receive help, some already knew a certain extent of her behavior. In light of that incident, many Jaguar Wright interview clips resurfaced online, in which she makes some crazy claims.

“There’s been a lot of sifting through,” the 47-year-old said in an interview with RealLyfe Productions about a week ago. “I got 25, 30-year relationships, you know what I mean? With people in this industry, and I don’t know who the f**k I can trust anymore.”

Before this current debacle, Wright made headlines for some of her outstanding allegations. Moreover, one of the biggest bombs she dropped was accusations of sexual assault against her ex, Common. That was a couple of years ago, and many assume that this started a downward spiral for the singer.

“I was for sure disappointed and hurt when she said what she said about me because it wasn’t true,” Common stated. “I know people that have experienced sexual assault and that’s not anything to just say if it’s not true. But I also understand that she may be going through some things that I don’t understand.

“In all truth, I went through different emotions. I’m like, oh man, why is she saying this? This is not true. How’s this gon’ affect me?”

With all this in mind, some of Wright’s recent interviews added fuel to this fire. In her interview with RealLyfe Productions, she spoke about fearing for her life while in Dallas. Apparently, the situation stemmed from a conflict with Tasha K.

“My life was being threatened, and not figuratively, Literally we were being hunted… Tasha K- I’ll say allegedly for y’all, so ain’t nobody talking about no defamations. Allegedly, the b***h was hired to target me. When I started the women’s group… three of the women in the group all worked for Tasha K. One of the women, who has positioned herself as my right-hand woman to help me build it- I mean this b***h actually came to my house.

“So Tasha K had somebody in my f***king home, amongst my family.” Moreover, Wright recounted how someone tried to break into their house and said the woman was responsible for people creeping on her.

Still, what do you think of Jaguar Wright’s interview clips and the discourse surrounding her? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH to see if Wright’s ordeals resolve.

Andrew Tate’s Assets Seized By Romanian Police: Cars, Watches Worth $4 Million

by

Andrew Tate’s arrest shook the world last month, which came on charges of human trafficking and kidnapping. Moreover, Romanian police recently seized Andrew Tate’s highly valued assets, including luxury cars and watches, at his Bucharest property in Romania. As part of the investigation against him, authorities confiscated a $3.9 million collection of vehicles and jewelry.

Furthermore, the 36-year-old British-American influencer grew notoriety for his lavish lifestyle and misogynistic views. Officials detained him in Bucharest and also charged him with rape and running an organized crime ring. His brother and two other Romanian citizens also face said accusations. While the news shocked many, it’s not entirely surprising given Tate would often brag about his abhorrent behavior.

Moreover, the confiscated assets consist of 15 sport cars and 14 pricey watches, which Romanian police seized on Saturday (January 14). The Romanian Asset Recovery and Management Agency provided said information in a press release. Also, the found cash in several currencies, which brings the total value of the assets up to 18 million lei ($3.9 million).

Even though the official report did not name Tate, pictures from Associated Press and Reuters match the blue Rolls-Royce in Bucharest with the one in the government statement. Also, authorities towed away a BMW, Aston Martin, and Porsche with license plates reading “T8.” Moreover, the residence itself displays the name “Tate” with a lit-up sign.

Meanwhile, a judge upheld an extension of the influencer’s arrest from 24 hours to 30 days on Tuesday (January 10). Afterwards, Tate failed to appeal the seizure of his assets according to an AP report. Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, identified six victims in Tate’s original arrest report. According to their statement, Tate’s gang seduced women with romanticism and then physically hurt and mentally coerced them. Moreover, perpetrators kept them under surveillance and forced them to “perform pornographic demonstrations.” The criminals sexually assaulted at least one woman on two separate occasions, according to the report.

What do you think of Andrew Tate’s assets seized by Romanian police? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on the Tate case.
