Lil Xan On The Run From Police After Viciously Pummeling Concertgoer

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Redlands, California rapper Lil Xan is dealing with some more legal trouble. According to TMZ, the “Betrayed” songwriter is on the run from police following a violet altercation with a male concertgoer. The incident took place at a nightclub called Royale in Boston, Massachusetts last Friday night and bleeding into early Saturday morning. The outlet got a hold of some of the video footage from the establishment and it’s quite alarming.

It starts off with Lil Xan trying to get the crowd into his performance and the overall atmosphere as well. In the process of doing that, there’s a man wearing what looks to be a blue sweater with a white collared shirt popping out around the neckline. If you want to see the videos detailing what we are describing, you can click the “[Via]” link below. For whatever reason, the man decides to raise his middle finger toward Xan, which he takes notice of. It’s worth nothing that there’s a strong chance the concertgoer was intoxicated to some extent. He is holding a beer in his hand during this time.

Lil Xan Is A Wanted Man

Xan didn’t appreciate that, so he walked over to the guy and started exchanging words. It’s unclear what was said, but we can surmise that they weren’t very nice things. After that, the rapper swings his hand with the microphone in it and lands a big hit to his head. In fact, it was so hard that the man collapsed to the floor. But Lil Xan isn’t done. He then chucks the mic at him while he’s down on the ground.

Finally, as he’s getting up, Xan kicks him in the side of the head, and he crashes to the floor again. The slow motion makes it looks even worse than it does in full speed. They were eventually separated, but the damage was done. Sources at the concert say Xan was able to get away from security trying to detain him. Cops got to the scene of the attack around 1:30 a.m. with the call being for assault and battery. The witness says the whole debacle was unprompted. The victim of Xan’s wrath seems to be fine as he refused any medical attention. As it stands, an investigation is currently underway.

Trey Songz Must Now Pay A Police Officer $11 Million

November 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Trey Songz will have to pay out a $11 million judgment after a Las Vegas judge ruled against him in a case brought by Tyrelle Dunn, a Maryland Capitol police officer who accuses the singer of assaulting him as he allegedly tried to rescue his wife from Songz’s hotel room in 2021. According to TMZ, Songz never responded to the lawsuit, leading to the default judgment.

“Plaintiff’s wife was escorted by Defendant security personnel to room 6014 where she was told she would meet Trey Songz,” the lawsuit alleged. “That while in room 6014, plaintiff’s wife was assaulted, tried to leave and had her phone taken away.” Dunn went on to allege he heard his wife screaming for help as he approached the hotel room. “The attack has had a profound and everyday impact on my life. I still have the scarring, and suffer emotionally from the attack,” Dunn wrote. “I think about the attack every day when I see the injuries to my face and body.”

The incident led to Dunn allegedly sustaining fractures to both eye sockets and injuries to his nose, face, ribs, stomach, ear, and head. In turn, he missed out on over a month of work. 8 News Now has obtained a 911 call from a worker at the hotel, in which they described Dunn as being “battered.” “He was battered in a room and we can’t go up there because we’re not sure if the people are armed,” the worker told the operator. “They battered him and they stole his money and his chain.”

It’s unclear whether Songz intends to appeal the decision and he has yet to discuss the judgment publically. Despite the lawsuit, Songz was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing in the incident back in April 2022.

Diddy’s Assault Of Cassie Left Stevie J In Shock

November 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Stevie J says he was thrown for a loop by the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016, which CNN published for the first time, earlier this year. He reflected on seeing the footage for the first time and how he handled it during an interview with TMZ for the outlet’s docuseries, The Downfall of Diddy.

“It really threw me for a loop,” Stevie said. “I always think about and talk about things I know to be true about Sean Combs.” From there, he alleged that he spoke with Diddy about the incident afterward and the Bad Boy mogul said he was in a “dark place” at the time. “After I saw the video, I went and saw him in Miami and we had a conversation. And I let him know how affected I was by that. I didn’t know he had that in him to do that,” Stevie said. “I just know that he was in a dark place in his life, as he described to me. He was just doing a lot of drugs and it was just dark for him.”

Diddy & Cassie During GQ’s Men Of The Year Party

Being in a “dark place” echoes comments Diddy made shortly after CNN first published the footage. “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” Diddy said in a video on social media. “I was f**ked up—I hit rock bottom—but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace.”

More recently, Diddy has been trying to get out of jail on bond after authorities arrested him on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, back in September. A decision on his latest try is expected at some point this week. If unsuccessful, he’ll be spending Thanksgiving behind bars. He’s already pleaded not guilty and denied all of the allegations against him.

Buckshot Speaks Out After Recent Assault Landed Him In The Hospital

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On Halloween, underground Brooklyn rapper Buckshot began to trend online following a harrowing video. According to AllHipHop, the Black Moon and Boot Camp Clik affiliate was viciously attacked in his hometown of Flatbush. The assault left him battered and bloodied, and he was admitted into the hospital for his injuries.

Uproxx reports that he’s now out of the hospital thanks to an encouraging update from his label, Duck Down Music. “Buckshot was hospitalized, since released, and under the circumstances, he’s doing OK and recovering,” they began.

“We currently don’t have more detailed information to share but will do so as it becomes available.” In addition, Buckshot himself has spoken out, and he expresses his gratitude and explains what the steps are moving forward. He also says that this has something to do with “ongoing disputes over my property, where I am the rightful owner but have faced issues with unauthorized occupants who escalated the situation to violence.” “To all my friends, fans, and supporters—thank you for reaching out during this difficult time. Recently, I was the victim of a violent assault involving multiple individuals armed with weapons, including handguns,” Buckshot begins.

Buckshot Is Recovering

Katt Williams Emerges Victorious In $1.7 Million Assault Lawsuit

October 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Katt Williams is not going to be paying out $1.7 million to an alleged assault and battery victim, according to AllHipHop. The outspoken comedian and actor has been in a vicious legal battle since 2016 with Angelina Triplett-Hill. She alleges that she was beat up maliciously by being hit in the face and eventual becoming unconscious after hitting the ground. This all allegedly happened on a film set while she was his personal assistant in 2014. Furthermore, Triplett-Hill alleges that she was sent to the hospital for these injuries she accrued.

Prior to him winning this lawsuit, she was actually awarded the default judgement due to him allegedly avoid it altogether. But, as the case went on, Triplett-Hill’s story continued to wane. It was eventually discovered that she was never Williams’ assistant nor were there any hospital and police records documenting her alleged injuries. Further bolstering the superstar act’s case against her was that his attorney was able to track down and present his actual assistant.

Jeremiah Reynolds, Katt’s attorney, released a statement, saying, “At trial, we argued that the plaintiff had created a false narrative of working for Katt as his assistant and faked the incident. The plaintiff tried to play on the jurors’ emotions, supposed “power imbalances,” and did everything she could to try to bring in irrelevant and prejudicial evidence about Katt. Judge Snyder excluded it all.”

Lil Reese Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting His Ex-Girlfriend

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Reese was arrested by police in Houston on Sunday for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend inside a Texas nightclub, earlier this month. Authorities had a warrant out for his arrest over the alleged incident for the last several weeks. He stands accused of punching and strangling the woman at The Pinkhouse nightclub in Houston.

Police claim Reese attempted to kiss her several times, but as she continued to reject his advances, he became violent and attacked her physically. Reese’s attorney, Carl Moore, has already denied the allegations against his client. “Mr. Taylor vehemently denies these false accusations. We look forward to his day in court,” he said in a statement provided to TMZ. The outlet also reports that he’s already been denied bond.

The latest arrest comes after Reese faced a rape accusation, earlier this year. The court eventually dismissed that case, which prompted Reese to go off on how the media covered the incident. “@theshaderoom @tmz_tv The same way yall was posting that false azzz information like I did some to a b*tc when I kno it was bap post this.

DaBaby Reaches Settlement In Sucker Punch Lawsuit

September 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DaBaby can finally put his 2020 scuffle to rest, as he officially settled a lawsuit against him according to court documents reportedly obtained by TMZ on Friday (September 27). For those unaware, homeowner Gary Pagar sued him due to a 2020 incident at a music video shoot at Pagar’s house for the Stunna 4 Vegas track “Play You Lay.” What happened was that the rapper allegedly “sucker-punched” Pagar after he complained about music video shoot regulations, eventually bringing about this civil case. Both parties reached a global settlement on all claims and asked the courts to remove future conference dates in order to sign the settlement into existence.

What’s more is that DaBaby has a pretty good excuse to celebrate this settlement, as he just dropped his first project in two years. HOW TF IS THIS A MIXTAPE? is a pretty ambitious question for a record of this nature, and as you’d expect, it’s filled with his typical style and some more fiery verses. We wonder whether the Charlotte MC has more plans for 2024 as far as career moves or extracurriculars. After all, he’s in a place where he can pretty much do as he pleases.

DaBaby at iHeart Powerhouse 105.1

Elsewhere, DaBaby is making headlines for his brash, prompt, and savage reactions to the whole Diddy scandal. Specifically, he pulled a master troll move for one of his upcoming music videos, which is ironic considering the lawsuit that he just settled. Nevertheless, Baby bought a whole bunch of baby oil for the visual, referencing the alleged hundreds of bottles of the substance that federal officials found while raiding Sean Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles properties. He still hasn’t lost that provocative and jester-like tone, has he?

Meanwhile, DaBaby continues to be confrontational in his music, not just in his social media antics or extracurricular antics. He seemingly launched a diss track against his ex DaniLeigh’s brother over the relative’s lawsuit against him. Maybe 2025 will hold less of these courtroom developments in the 32-year-old’s life and career. But one thing’s for sure: he will respond scathingly whether it’s a trial motion or an Internet jab.

Quavo Ordered To Pay $700K For Valet Assault

September 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quavo recently received a lawsuit from a Louisiana rapper who claims the former Migo stole a QUAVO HUNCHO track from him, but that’s sadly not the end of his legal troubles for this month. Moreover, a Las Vegas court and jury recently ordered him to pay $682K to a man he and his entourage seemingly assaulted in 2018, according to KLAS. For those unaware, surveillance footage captured the moment in which the Georgia rapper and his colleagues jumped valet Antonio Henry at the Encore Hotel & Casino due to an argument. The jury found Huncho liable for the damages, and his lawyer reportedly and dismissively called Henry’s move the pursuit of a “hip-hop lotto ticket.”

Furthermore, the news footage below indicates that Quavo’s lawyer claimed that Antonio Henry did not sustain any injuries and that this case doesn’t appear on any court record at press time. This is some pretty tough news for the trap MC, but it’s also not something he can’t make up in due time. For example, he recently appeared in the trailer for the new film Takeover, his latest crossover into the world of small and silver screens. Still, it’s a streak of bad luck in the courtroom, although that copyright lawsuit remains open.

Quavo Hit With $700K Judgement Over Valet Assault

Elsewhere, there’s other news in Quavo’s life that is much more important and heartening to report on. He and Offset had a call following Rich Homie Quan’s tragic passing, further squashing the mysterious beef between the former Migos teammates. Of course, many fans likely remember that this isn’t the first time that they reconciled due to tragedy. Similar hatchet burials took place after Takeoff’s loss, but it seems like they still had (and possibly have) a lot to discuss.

Back to Quavo’s extracurriculars, another recent film crossover of his was his Ty Dolla $ign collab “IF I FALL” off of the Transformers One soundtrack. We’re sure that some more music releases are on the way, and that he will continue to address any legal issue promptly and responsibly. On that note, we’ll see what comes of that copyright lawsuit, and at least this valet issue is over six years later.

Diddy Begs Cassie For Help In Newly Revealed Text Messages After Hotel Assault

September 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is now in court after months of accusations, allegations, and lawsuits, many of them which have remained speculative and accusatory at press time. However, one piece of evidence that suggests he may have a pattern of misbehavior is a clip of him assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel room back in 2016. Moreover, during a New York court hearing on Wednesday (September 18) to appeal for his bond again (unsuccessfully), Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson revealed texts that the Bad Boy mogul and Cassie allegedly sent to each other in the aftermath of this hotel incident years ago.

“Call me, the cops are here. I got six kids. Yo, please call, I am surrounded. You gonna abandon me all alone,” Diddy allegedly wrote to Cassie. “The defendant knew he had done something that could elicit police response,” Johnson interpreted. “When you get f***ed up, you knock me around. I’m not a rag doll. I’m someone’s child,” Cassie allegedly told her partner after his abuse of her. Elsewhere concerning this assault, these court hearings also present two wildly different clams about what actually happened.

Diddy’s Alleged Text To Cassie

AUSA: Immediately after the assault, the defendant sent these messages: Call me, the cops are here. I got six kids. Yo, please call, I am surrounded. You gonna abandon me all alone.
The defendant knew he had done something that could elicit police response

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 18, 2024

First, Cassie’s side of the story. According to the prosecution, a male sex worker was allegedly present in her and Diddy’s hotel room at the time of the assault and Cassie allegedly tried to escape a “freak-off” party. However, Sean Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo alleges that Cassie discovered that Combs was cheating on her with another woman. Allegedly, she went through Diddy’s phone, threw it at his head, took his clothes, and walked out. Obviously, we don’t know the truth of what really happened here eight years ago. We’ll see what other proof emerges surrounding it.

More Messages/Updates

AUSA: We have a message from the Victim, I still have crazy bruising. He claims he wanted to get his clothes back. But that’s not what happened her. She tried to escape a room with the defendant and a commercial sex worker – she fled without shoes

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 18, 2024

AUSA: Here are some text: when you get f*cked up, you knock me around. I’m not a rag doll. I’m someone’s child.
We have witnesses who witnessed the injuries. This conduct happened behind closed door, in houses, hotel rooms and cars. Judge Tarnofsky was concerned

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 18, 2024

Diddy’s lawyers filed the transcript from yesterday’s hearing with their new bail letter today.

Here’s exactly what Marc Agnofilo said about the assault of Cassie recorded on video:

“…it’s evidence of Mr. Combs having more than one girlfriend and getting caught…” pic.twitter.com/Lz9gemKHnB

— Meghann Cuniff (@meghanncuniff) September 18, 2024

AUSA: The defendant had a freak-off on March 5, 2016. We have evidence there was one commercial sex worker there in the room, during the assault. She isn’t even wearing shoes. She is in danger. Defendant storms out in a towel

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 18, 2024

Meanwhile, Diddy did score at least one small legal victory amid this intense and massive arrest. A judge dismissed a sexual assault case that had resulted in a $100 million judgement for the alleged victim. But that seems even smaller now that he is behind bars, and especially now that his alleged crimes are presented in more of a supposedly systemic way. We’ll see what else we learn during the Diddy trial…

SOURCE SPORTS: [WATCH] Phillies Fan Called Homophobic Slur By NY Yankees Fan Before Being Slapped Unconscious

August 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems that even when the Bronx Bombers win, a celebration isn’t complete without Yankees fans brawling with the opposition, even at away games.

This past Tuesday(July 30) at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park when the Yankees beat the Phils 6-5, a Yankees fan called a Phillies fan a homophobic slur shortly before he smacked the man unconscious. In the footage, you can see two men in what appears to just be a verbal altercation until the man wearing the Aaron Judge jersey smacks the man in the black shirt, presumably a Phillies fan, leaving him out cold.

See the man smacked unconscious HERE

What’s come into question now is that prior to the assault, the man in the Judge jersey is now wanted for questioning by the Philadelphia Police for a potential hate crime after calling the man a f****t shortly before hitting him.

The Philadelphia Police Dept. said they are aware of the incident and have launched an investigation into things. “We are asking the victim and anyone who may have knowledge of the incident to come forward,” the PPD said.

Neither the Yankees nor the Phillies have commented on the incident.
