DaBaby Accepts Plea Deal In Assault Case To Avoid Jail Time

by

DaBaby just got a big update in his 2020 assault case over an alleged sucker punch that he landed on 65-year-old Gary Pagar, the homeowner of a music video shoot’s location. While he wasn’t in L.A. County court on Thursday (July 11), he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery via his attorney Blair Berk and received a one-year probation sentence plus time served. Also, the “NAN” rapper must pay $10K in restitution, stay 100 yards away from Pagar, and cannot possess firearms or deadly weapons during his probation. The allegedly assaulted man claims he lost a tooth, whereas Baby claims he was racist against him during a confrontation at the house.

Nevertheless, Pagar still has some open cases against DaBaby for fraud, breach of contract, and battery, so maybe this whole situation isn’t fully over yet. But with this plea deal, a big chunk of that hurdle is now in the rearview, so things might not pop off again. The last update we had gotten on this case was that the North Carolina MC’s lawyer was very sick, and so they tried to postpone the alleged assault trial. Looks like everything turned out okay after all, so at least no one involved faced any additional complications.

But DaBaby isn’t just in the headlines for his more combative or confrontational antics from time to time, regardless of whether they result in a court trial. The fiery spitter can also be quite the generous soul as well, such as when he recently surprised a kid washing windows with $100, even though he charged him just five. Sometimes, this can just be for some quick social media clout, so not everyone is as impressed. But these moments can also have an impact on people’s lives that the Internet can never see.

Meanwhile, DaBaby is always one to clap back at the haters, so we doubt he’s too pressed over this court case. After all, when folks criticized him for not posting his kids on their birthday, he rightfully pointed out that his kids care about him, not about Instagram. We’ll see what other curious headlines and volatile moments emerge throughout the rest of 2024. For everyone’s sake, we hope they don’t make it to a courtroom.

6ix9ine Sells Assets Like Car & Mansion To Cover $10 Million Judgement In Assault Case

by

When 6ix9ine failed to show up in court for an assault lawsuit, he didn’t consider that a default judgement would end up ridding him of his valuables. However, that’s exactly what court documents reportedly obtained by TMZ indicate, as the court appointed a receiver to handle his assets. These include a Rolls-Royce, a mansion in Florida, and many other pricey items that might be sold off or auctioned to pay for the $9.825 judgement by any means necessary. In fact, it seems like this is a pretty limitless proposition, as the docs claim that the receiver can “break any locks necessary to gain access to any real property.”

For those unaware, the rapper– who said he will drop a new album soon– received this lawsuit over two years ago. He accidentally hit Alexis Salaberrios, a dancer for Gold Rush Cabaret in Miami, in the head with a champagne bottle that he threw at a person who called him a rat. After going to the ER and getting stitches, she filed legal action against him and won the judgement back in July. Since 6ix9ine never paid for it, now Salaberrios has clearance to seize these assets despite his legal team initially dismissing this suit.

Meanwhile, the New York native is also dealing with some other legal trouble right now– but it’s got less to do with him than it does with his partner. Yailín La Más Viral recently faced an arrest and felony assault charges after threatening him with a knife and hitting him with a two-by-four. The two have had nothing if not a turbulent and chaotic relationship in the public eye, so this is a little less surprising than most. Still, considering past issues that the couple went through, it’s a tad disheartening to see Yailín fall into tropes that 6ix9ine is the most notorious for out of the two.

Regardless, do you think that this is going to hurt his pockets deeply as he lingers in the Dominican Republic? Is this the beginning of the end? However you may feel, let us know in the comments section down below. For more news and the latest updates on 6ix9ine, stick around on HNHH.

ASAP Rocky Shooting Case Going To Trial, Judge Finds Probable Cause: Report

by

ASAP Rocky’s court case and trial for an alleged 2021 assault in Hollywood, in which he stands accused of shooting ASAP Relli, just got some crucial updates, according to Meghann Cuniff on one end and TMZ on the other. Moreover, on Monday afternoon (November 20), the Los Angeles judge in this case ruled that there is enough probable cause, as determined by preliminary hearings, to support his present charges of two counts of first-degree assault with a firearm. As such, the case will move to a trial in the near future. Cuniff also indicated that the court will arraign the rapper on January 8.

Not only that, but according to TMZ, prosecutors submitted what they claim is video evidence on Monday of ASAP Rocky holding a gun before shooting his colleague. While he isn’t very identifiable in the footage in question, attorneys opposing him from across the courtroom are dead-set on defending this. For assistance, Los Angeles Police Department detective Frank Flores testified that they found the clip while investigating the case. Throughout this testimony, the publication also reported that the New York MC remained calm and collected. Now that this is officially moving to trial, perhaps the two will reconsider reports that they were hashing out a settlement.

In addition, prosecutors also presented alleged audio-centric footage of the two shots that ASAP Rocky allegedly fired off at his fellow Mob affiliate. However, as of writing this article, there is no unquestionable footage available of the shooting itself. For those unaware, ASAP Relli claims that his group mate shot his hand, and also made various statements about his mental state throughout it all. Not only that, but the court also saw body cam footage from seven police officers. Furthermore, these cops arrived at the scene of the incident and scoured for clues, evidence, and any other relevant information present.

After their efforts, they announced that they did not find a firearm anywhere on the premises. ASAP Relli’s side of the story is that he and ASAP Rocky feuded for a while before this alleged shooting. His testimony alleged that the father of two put the weapon up against him, placed directly on his stomach. While he didn’t shoot in that moment, Relli claims that shots rang out shortly after they moved apart- four, to be exact- and that he ran away. Contrary to police reports, Relli also alleged that he found a pair of 9mm shell casings when he returned to the supposed crime scene later that night. Law enforcement and forensics experts did not identify any fingerprints on the casings that he presented.

Tory Lanez Demands Prince From “L&HH” To Sit For Deposition In Assault Case

by

Tory Lanez and his legal team recently demanded that Prince of Love & Hip Hop: Miami fame sit down for a deposition after the latter’s accusations against him. Moreover, according to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Lanez’s lawyers asked a judge in Miami court to force Prince to show up to the proceeding. Furthermore, this follows Prince’s lawsuit against the Canadian rapper for assault. Going off his testimony, Lanez allegedly attacked him with assistance from his crew on two separate occasions.

First, the “Say It” star, according to Prince’s testimony, punched him in the face after a verbal altercation in 2019. Said incident took place at the nightclub LIV on November 8th, located near Miami Beach. Not only that, but the reality star said Tory’s entourage also jumped him afterwards, and he alleged that it caused blunt trauma to his back, neck, and chest. However, nightclubs proved to be a common factor, at least from Prince’s side of the story. Moreover, he alleged later in 2020 that he ran into Lanez again at a separate Miami nightclub. Much like his last accusation, he said that the artist punched him in the face.

“Immediately after punching [Prince] in the face, [Tory’s] employee/agent fled and attempted to enter [Tory’s] vehicle,” the lawsuit stated. “However, [Tory] yelled at the agent/employee and instructed him to leave the premises in a separate vehicle.” Still, Lanez argued that his actions were in self-defense and moved to dismiss. Furthermore, Lanez later asked the court to uphold a settlement that Prince allegedly signed, though he says the artist pressured him into doing so. “He told me not to contact my lawyer when I told him I needed my lawyer to review the agreement,” the Miami native stated. Also, he said that he found Tory with an armed member of his team at the settlement meeting, which further pressured him.

“This individual is the same individual who was ordered by [Lanez] to attack me at the Vendome night club and he did so,” Prince stated. “I cannot share his identity at this time as this individual threatened me that if I mention his name, I would be severely injured or even killed. This individual was in possession of a firearm which was visible at the meeting.” Now, Lanez said he paid Prince $20K to settle and wants him to face a deposition to enforce the deal in court. Regardless of your take on these stars, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Prince from Love & Hip Hop and Tory Lanez.
