Master P’s Son Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Refrigerators From University

December 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Master P’s son Hercy Miller was reportedly arrested by authorities for allegedly stealing refrigerators from the Southern Utah University (SUU) campus, according to PEOPLE. Moreover, police also reportedly arrested two other students for the alleged crime, which they claim consisted of stealing two refrigerators worth $1,500 each from the loading dock of the campus bookstore. The arrest – which took place on November 27 – stemmed from one count of theft, and all students play on the SUU Thunderbirds basketball team. The rapper and hopeful NBA coach is probably not very happy about all this, but he hasn’t said anything about it as of writing this article.

Back to the alleged crime at hand, security footage reportedly shows Master P’s son and his colleagues putting the refrigerators into their vehicles on November 11. In addition, police reportedly spotted the appliances in two men’s apartments and in the third’s garage, but Miller and his friend said that they thought staff was throwing the refrigerators out because they were on the loading dock for “almost a month.” One of the alleged perpetrators claimed that he thought that the refrigerators were good to take because staff was allegedly throwing them away. This is slightly ironic given the completely unrelated legal advice that the New Orleans rapper recently gave.

However, one of the alleged perpetrators admitted that he helped put the refrigerators in the vehicles, but placed the blame of the whole operation on another perpetrator. We’ll see if Master P himself says anything about his son’s alleged crimes. Elsewhere, he’s dealing with some legal issues of his own, such as his lawsuit alongside Snoop Dogg against Walmart for allegedly sabotaging their cereal brand.

Also, Master P loves to chime into hip-hop occasionally, especially the Super Bowl halftime show controversy in his hometown of New Orleans. “Salute to Kendrick Lamar for performing at the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX.. well deserved,” he shared on Instagram. “He’s one of the hottest music artists in the world and has one of the biggest songs right now. As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans I have to agree with the fans that Lil Wayne should be a part of this celebration as well. He’s one of the greatest Hip Hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South. Life is too short! We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here. #Godisgood Change starts with us.”

Skai Jackson’s Baby Father Arrested In Shocking New Footage

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Actress Skai Jackson recently announced her pregnancy, and she’s already dealing with more salacious social media narratives than she expected in its wake. Moreover, footage recently surfaced of police arresting her child’s supposed father Deondre Burgin – also known as “Yerkky Yerkky” – for allegedly violating the terms of his parole. Per court documents reportedly obtained by TMZ, law enforcement authorities took Burgin into custody in Cincinnati, Ohio on Wednesday afternoon (November 13) following an altercation with police. According to the report, officials sought to arrest him on a warrant for juvenile parole violation, but he reportedly ran away when police confronted him. Burgin fell and suffered a small injury.

This comes just days after Deondre Burgin seemingly made egregious and critical comments about Skai Jackson following her pregnancy announcement. “On wopp Im salty I got this dumb a** Disney Chanel b***h pregnant I hate this h*e,” he allegedly posted on Facebook. However, Skai and her mother Kiya Cole claim that this was due to a hack, and the identity of the child’s father is actually still a mystery, technically speaking. There’s no surefire confirmation that Burgin is the one.

Still, perhaps Skai Jackson shouldn’t be surprised at these new developments in the rumor mill, especially since things got off to a rocky start to begin with. Back in August, authorities arrested her for an alleged incident of domestic battery involving her boyfriend at Universal Studios’ CityWalk in Los Angeles. Back then, fans didn’t even know the potential identity of the partner, whom Jackson allegedly pushed multiple times. But it seems like the altercation, if true, didn’t escalate further, so at least things didn’t get truly nasty. Regardless, they have a full plate of stuff to deal with right now.

We wonder if Skai Jackson will ever address any of this outright on social media, given her past aversion to answering questions about her August arrest for alleged domestic battery. Maybe both of them keep quiet about the whole matter or they eventually air out their grievances. In any case, there are a lot of questions that fans want answers to in order to piece this story together.

Man Impersonating Sexyy Red’s Manager Arrested For Alleged Sexual Battery

October 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It just got “Sticky” for Sexyy Red. Police recently arrested a man pretending to be her manager on alleged armed sexual battery and false imprisonment with a weapon charges on Tuesday (October 29), according to WPLG Local 10 in Florida. Moreover, Vladimir Joseph claimed that he worked an event for Sexyy Red at a strip club near Miami. He reportedly approached a woman outside of the venue and said his name was “Alexander Beamer,” claiming to be the St. Louis femcee’s manager. “Vladimir Joseph is not her manager,” a representative for Sexyy relayed to WPLG.

The story goes that the alleged victim and three men got into the man pretending to be Sexyy Red’s manager’s car and drove to his house, where he allegedly forced her to ingest cocaine at gunpoint. “Take it or I will kill you,” the 41-year-old allegedly remarked. Per the police report, Joseph forced the woman upstairs and allegedly sexually assaulted her “for several hours.” He allegedly “recorded her performing sex acts on him” and then “forced the victim to take a shower and continued sexually assaulting her.” The “You Don’t Love Me” rapper seemingly hasn’t addressed this at press time.

Afterwards, Vladimir Joseph allegedly sent the victim home in a Lyft. His provision of ride details helped her identify Joseph and pinpoint the alleged assault’s location to law enforcement. The man claiming to be Sexyy Red’s manager surrendered to police and presumably remains without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. As for Sexyy herself, she had a couple of big releases in recent weeks that kept her busy. She even got love from Taylor Swift for her GloRilla collab, “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME.”

Meanwhile, Sexyy Red recently called out people assuming she had a fling with controversial OnlyFans creator Gucci Third Leg. “Why every time y’all see me with a n***a, y’all think I’m f***ing him?” she asked on social media. “Like, can I just chill? Can I hang out? God, I’m a grown-a** gangster superhero. Leave me alone.” Hopefully the rest of the year doesn’t include any more controversies or harrowing situations regarding the 26-year-old.

Toronto Femcee Lady SB Hit With Human Trafficking Charge

September 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Toronto rapper Lady SB is one of five individuals recently charged with human trafficking in Toronto, per local outlet CTV News‘ Wednesday (September 18) report. Moreover, this apparently followed five months of joint investigation with other authorities until the arrest of these folks for their alleged involvement in crimes across the Greater Toronto Area. According to Halton Regional Police, this group “maintained control, direction of influence over the victims” through coercion, force, manipulation, and abuse from September of 2019 up until their arrest. The other accused individuals include Prince Munroe (another rapper called Casino Barnes), Jamie Munroe (apparently Prince’s brother), Jonathan Bennett, and Shuwayne Mitchell.

Furthermore, police have not specified the amount of alleged victims of this supposed human trafficking scheme at press time. They did, however, execute search warrants in Toronto and Brampton and arrest Lady SB and her alleged associates on Tuesday (September 17). In addition to arresting these individuals, they also seized a “large sum of cash,” a loaded firearm, ammo, a prohibited magazine, a vehicle, and some documents that identified some of the alleged victims. Each suspect is between 25 and 35 years of age, coming from Brampton, Mississauga, Shelburne, and Ontario.

Lady SB Arrested For Human Trafficking

As for Lady SB, she along with the Monroes face multiple charges including trafficking in persons, promoting sexual services with full knowledge, and assault. On the other hand, Bennett and Mitchell received one charge each of procuring and exercising control over the procured. The court has yet to test these charges, and they all remain alleged as of writing this article. According to CTV News, investigators also warned that there could be even more alleged victims out there that they have yet to investigate or identify.

Meanwhile, Lady SB had told No Jumper back in 2023 about her sources of income, which made many raise their eyebrows at the time and especially now. She didn’t provide many details on how she makes her money, but she did allude to some illegal activity throughout and recalled a previous gun charge. Still, this might just be a huge reach, so we have to wait for what the court has to say.

Diddy’s Arrest Draws A Plethora Of Reactions Across The Internet

September 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bombshell reports yesterday revealed that Sean “Diddy” Combs had been arrested by federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations. Obviously, this is all in connection with a broad spectrum of allegations, as well as the multiple home raids earlier this year. The rap mogul and entrepreneur was taken to an FBI office in Manhattan and this morning his indictment should be unsealed when he arrives in court. That is according to ABC News (via MSN), as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams said in a statement. It reads, “Earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY”.

Williams continues, “We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time”. Since his arrest, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has reacted quite strongly, as you could imagine. “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office… He is an imperfect person but is not criminal”. You could also say that the internet has been responding to this news in a similar fashion in some cases.

Diddy’s Indictment Has People Cracking Jokes, Skeptical, & Etc.

As you can see above and below, some are extremely excited to see what they feel has been a long time coming. Of course, it wouldn’t be normal if there weren’t trolls cracking jokes online too. However, there is also quite a large crowd that’s pretty skeptical about this entire indictment. Some believe that other huge celebrities could also be in serious trouble. They feel that Diddy is going to drag others down with him to do what whatever he can to get the lightest sentence possible. Finally, there’s an even a camp out there that thinks this was a cover up to get people to stop talking about the second Donald Trump assassination attempt. Overall, the rest of today should be one of shock and intrigue.

More Reactions

So, Diddy has been off the radar for 6 months and they decide to arrest him the day after Trump’s second ass*ssination attempt…?

Sounds like a cover up to me.

Tyrese Arrested After Refusing To “Illegally” Pay $10,000 In Child Support

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In an update from The Neighborhood Talk, singer and actor Tyrese has officially been arrested. This very recent news comes just hours after the Los Angeles, California native revealed in a now deleted IG post that this was a real possibility. It stems from the still ongoing divorce with ex-wife Samantha Lee, but more specifically the financial/child support side of things. Since August of 2022, Ms. Lee has been trying to get $10,000 a month from him to help aid their five-year-old child they have together. Initially, it was around $20,000.

Still, though, Tyrese has been fighting against it for a while now and continued to do so today at his court hearing in Atlanta at 9 a.m. In his long, confusing, and aforementioned post to social media he even labeled it illegal. In addition to this, he claimed that Samantha’s two lawyers on the case are close friends with the Judge. Overall, he feels this whole situation is essentially unjust.

Tyrese Warned Followers Being Arrested Was A Real Possibility

However, Judge Kevin M Farmer, who Tyrese tried to have removed from the bench twice, thinks otherwise. The Neighborhood Talk says that “It’s been revealed to us that he was taken in willful contempt of court after refusing to release the funds”. Not much else is known at this time, as this news has pretty much just broke. So, be sure to stick with us for more developments around this.

What are your thoughts on Tyrese being arrested for denying to pay child support? Do you think this is a major injustice, why or why not? What is your overall stance on this ongoing divorce drama between him and Samantha Lee? What do you think is next for the artist and actor? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Macklemore Fan Arrested Onstage After Duet

August 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Macklemore isn’t one to engage in onstage antics, but a twist of fate lent some very odd context to a recent performance of his. Moreover, he (along with many other artists) took the stage at the Lovestream Festival in Slovakia, and at one point, he invited a Slovenian fan onstage to perform a duet with him. After the woman boasted about it on social media, someone recognized her from an open police report (as a wanted woman) and informed authorities at the “Hind’s Hall” MC’s performance. Cops let her wrap her performance up and then arrested her for avoiding a fine from an alleged streaking incident.

Elsewhere, Macklemore instead usually draws up controversy for his music, whether for the right and wrong reasons. Most recently, his release of a pro-Palestine track stirred up a storm on social media, including a response diss from Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Remedy. Overall, this is a very complex situation and one that political and social polarization can obfuscate when it comes to the actual humanitarian issues at hand. Nevertheless, the “Thrift Shop” rapper’s powerful single speaks volumes to the need to engage in these difficult conversations and definitely achieved at least part of its intended effect.

Macklemore Performing In Paris

“I didn’t expect to be on a microphone,” Macklemore expressed during a pro-Palestine rally in Washington, DC. “There are thousands of people here more qualified to speak on the issue of a free Palestine than myself. But I will say this: They told me to be quiet. They told me to do my research, to go back, that it’s too complex to say something, right? To be silent in this moment. In the last three weeks, I’ve gone back and I’ve done some research … I’m teachable. I don’t know enough. But I know enough that this is a genocide.”

“I have so many close lifelong Jewish and Muslim friends and I don’t want to cause any additional harm to any of them,” Macklemore shared on Instagram. “But I trust in our friendships that even if we disagree we can be rooted in love and acceptance in whatever dialogue transpires. I trust that these potential challenging and emotional conversations will not divide us in the end but lead to more compassion. Killing the innocent is never the answer. Revenge only breeds more hatred. Thinking of ourselves as separate from one another is a lie.”

Delonte West Arrested After Trying To Evade Police: What We Know

June 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Former NBA guard Delonte West was arrested and jailed in Virginia early Thursday morning on misdemeanor charges of violating the conditions of his release and resisting arrest, according ESPN. This incident adds another chapter to the troubled post-NBA life of West, who has publicly struggled with mental health and substance abuse issues. West, 40, is being held at the Fairfax County Detention Center on a $2,000 bond. He was scheduled for arraignment at 8:30 a.m. EST Friday morning. The arrest occurred after a pursuit in Groveton, Virginia, where police found West unresponsive and had to administer Narcan twice to revive him. Despite the challenges he has faced, West’s story remains one of resilience and the continuing efforts by friends and former colleagues to support him.

The Arrest Incident

Ex-NBA player Delonte West has been arrested again in Virginia today. West, 40, was let out of the hospital after collapsing while hiding from police and taken to jail, per Fairfax County PD. He’s charged w/ violating conditions of release & resisting arrest and is held on bond. https://t.co/H2MZQQV5tx pic.twitter.com/skJelmE3B5

— DMV News Live (@DCNewsLive) June 6, 2024

Fairfax County police spotted West around 1 a.m. in Groveton, Virginia, and sought to serve a warrant for his arrest. When the officers approached, a pursuit ensued, and they temporarily lost sight of West during the chase. Eventually, officers found him unresponsive. They administered Narcan, a medication used to counteract narcotic overdoses, but the initial dose did not revive him. West was then transported to a local hospital, where a second dose of Narcan was successfully administered. After his condition stabilized, he was released from the hospital and transported to the Fairfax County Detention Center.

West’s Legal Troubles

Delonte West faces misdemeanor charges of violating the conditions of his release and resisting arrest. The specifics of what conditions West violated have not been detailed, but these charges add to his history of legal and personal troubles. His arraignment is set for 8:30 a.m. EST on Friday, where further details are expected to be disclosed. West’s bail has been set at $2,000, and it remains to be seen how this latest incident will impact his ongoing struggles and legal standing.

Struggles With Mental Health & Substance Abuse

West has been open about his diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which he discussed during his NBA career. This diagnosis, combined with his well-documented battles with substance abuse, has complicated his life post-basketball. In 2021, West received treatment at a drug rehabilitation therapy center in Florida and later worked at the facility. This was part of an effort by several individuals in the NBA community, including former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, to help West regain stability in his life. Cuban’s intervention in 2020, where he personally picked West up from a gas station after photos of him panhandling in Dallas went viral, highlighted the ongoing support West has received.

NBA Career & Public Support

Delonte West had a respectable NBA career, averaging 9.7 points and 3.6 assists per game over eight seasons. He played for notable teams, including the Boston Celtics, Seattle SuperSonics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Dallas Mavericks. His last NBA season was with the Mavericks in 2011-12. Despite his professional success, West’s post-NBA life has been marred by personal challenges. The support from the basketball community, especially figures like Mark Cuban, underscores the efforts to help him navigate these difficulties. Cuban’s involvement has been particularly significant, as he has made multiple attempts to provide West with the resources needed to overcome his struggles.

Nicki Minaj Reportedly Arrested In Amsterdam For Drug Possession, Blasts Police Online

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On her tour travels, Nicki Minaj was reportedly arrested on Saturday (May 25) in Amsterdam for drug possession, an odd development considering the Netherlands’ marijuana laws. However, it seems like authorities failed to properly inform her of her own situation, as she took to Instagram Live to document authorities searching her bags and her argument with Dutch police. The Trinidadian superstar has also updated the situation via Twitter, relaying that they made her miss her flight to Manchester and that this is all allegedly a ploy to inspire negative stories about her. Needless to say, it’s all a very complex and unclear situation as of writing this article.

Nevertheless, we hope for the best for Nicki Minaj amid this stressful time, and hope that she continues her trek safely and without further interruption. After all, it seems odd that this would happen in Amsterdam, especially when many other shows on the Pink Friday 2 tour took place without a hiccup. Regardless, she’s got a second North American leg coming up, which obviously prompted a very excited response from the Barbz and fans who didn’t get a chance to catch the first one. Sadly, this news dampens that hype a little bit, as listeners now fear that the “FTCU” MC will face more scrutiny moving forward.

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

However, the Pink Friday 2 world tour has been wildly successful thus far, and not even this situation seems to have slowed it down one bit. As such, we can probably expect some more amazing shows moving forward, as long as Nicki Minaj is able to resolve this and law enforcement cooperates accordingly. Hopefully we get some more clarification on what exactly happened here soon, as fans are demanding answers online. Especially for die-hards in Manchester, they are watching the clock and hoping for the best outcome.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj also found herself in the headlines recently for other reasons that she would probably dismiss as purely salacious. Jaguar Wright recently claimed during an interview that Nicki was the one who leaked the alleged audio of Diddy and Meek Mill. Her past relationship with Meek continues to inform and provide context for their careers, albeit in an ugly way now. We’ll see what else happens with this Amsterdam case, and how else Roman navigates her status in the rap game.
