Travis Scott Settles Nightclub Assault Case With Victim: Report

by

As fans anticipate the release of Utopia, Travis Scott found himself in some hot water right before his performance at Rolling Loud LA. The Houston rapper faced accusations of assault and vandalism after he reportedly went haywire at a New York nightclub. Trav was in town to celebrate Don Toliver’s album release but he lost his cool with the sound engineer at Nebulla nightclub and struck him in the face. Afterward, Travis reportedly went on a rampage, destroying $12K worth of equipment in the process.

Though police were called to the scene, reports claim that Travis Scott immediately hopped on a jet and skipped town. However, days after he performed at Rolling Loud in California, he was expected to turn himself into the NYPD. His reps reportedly arranged a meeting with detectives following the incident but it looks like he might be cleared in the long haul. According to TMZ, Scott’s settled the dispute with the engineer and the nightclub recently.

Sources close to the rapper said that he pony’d up some dough to clear out his issues with Nebulla and the sound engineer. Though it’s unclear how much he coughed up, he made things right with both parties. However, he’s not completely off the hook yet. According to police sources, there’s still an “active investigation” into the matter, though it might be hard to file charges. Another law enforcement source said that the actual victim has stopped cooperating in the case altogether.

Without testimony from the alleged victim, it’ll be hard for police to nab Travis Scott but it won’t be impossible. Even though the likelihood of filing charges remains slim, there is a video of Scott’s altercation with the sound engineer that they could use. Additionally, the alleged victim also gave an interview with Fox 5 News where he details his injuries. “My neck is f**ked up. My arm is tingling. I have pins and needles going down it,” he said. Still, it’s unlikely that Scott will face a judge over the matter. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates surrounding the case.

Judge Joe Brown Shuts Down Speculation About Allegedly Assaulting Sheryl Lee Ralph

by

The internet is known to spark a rumor or two, but Judge Joe Brown is snapping back. The famed television judge is familiar, considering his show has been on the air for decades. Brown is known as a no-nonsense character who abides by the law, but a recent story by an actress thrust his name into infamy. Iconic entertainer Sheryl Lee Ralph recently visited Way Up with Angela Yee and revealed that many years ago, she was sexually assaulted. She also noted that her assailant was a famous television judge.

“I’m at a very public place. I was suited,” she said. “I was handling my business for the television show I was on at that time. We were on the same network. This man walked in grabbed me by the back of my neck, turned me around and rammed his nasty ass tongue down my throat. And everybody at the network saw it.” Ralph further shared she called the mayor of New Orleans at the time, for help. Moriel was ready to send the authorities over immediately, but someone stopped Ralph from moving forward.

Judge Joe Brown Denies Allegations

“The mayor of New Orleans at the time was Marc Morial,” Ralph also said. “I called Marc Morial, he said ‘you want me to send the police there right now? ‘Cause we will fix his—you know what—right now.’ Somebody at the network tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘Please don’t.’ Do you know that they did not want any bad press around their show and did not care what had just happened to me?” It didn’t take long for the internet to weigh in, and soon, Brown’s name was entangled in scandal. However, he emerged with a statement via Twitter denying any involvement.

“There’re false rumors being spread that I mistreated a certain lady ≈ 25 yrs ago, he wrote. “I categorically deny both the accusations & acquaintance with the lady. Those rumors started with certain identified parties & spread. They ought ‘Cease & Desist’ or contemplate a Defamation Action.” Ralph never named her assailant or Brown during or after the interview. Additionally, Brown didn’t outright name Ralph, either.

Continuing To Defend His Name

Judge Joe Brown also answered his followers who popped up in his comment section. He thanked supporters for encouraging him through the rumors and answered fans who had questions about the controversy. Meanwhile, Ralph hasn’t responded to the speculation, nor does it seem she will name the assailant. Watch the clip of Sheryl Lee Ralph detailing her story above.

Jonathan Majors Arrested In New York City For Allegedly Assaulting Woman, Rep Denies It

by

Authorities arrested Jonathan Majors in New York City for allegedly assaulting a woman on Saturday (March 25). Moreover, TMZ reports that sources from law enforcement told them they took him in on Saturday morning on charges of strangulation, assault, and harassment. Furthermore, police reportedly responded to a service call in Manhattan, specifically Chelsea, around 11 a.m. ET. According to these reports, a woman claimed that she got into an altercation with the actor, who proceeded to attack her. Their relationship is unknown, and Majors’ representative denied these claims of wrongdoing.

Not only that, but the alleged victim displayed injuries such as a laceration behind her ear, reddened areas, and clear marks of impact on her face. Fortunately, she is in stable condition according to reports after officials transported her to a nearby medical center. Moreover, police apprehended Majors and took him to prison after belief that there was enough evidence for probable cause. Still, from what TMZ informs, he is already out of law enforcement’s hands.

Jonathan Majors Arrested For Alleged Assault

“He’s done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up,” the 33-year-old’s representative stated to the outlet. Of course, this news should come as a massive shock to those even remotely caught up with movies these days. After huge roles in the latest Ant-Man film and Creed III, he became one of the most acclaimed and admired screen actors of the moment. Not only have his roles impressed both casual and snobby movie audiences, but his charisma made him a favorite in the pop culture world.

For example, he recently showed some love to the rap world when talking about what music inspired him for his role as Damian “Diamond Dame” Anderson in the latest Creed film. Specifically, he honored Nipsey Hussle and Tupac. Given his massive popularity right now and how much people seem to like him, many hope that these allegations are untrue. While it seems he and his team look forward to proving as such, it would be an unfortunate fate for a career with such promise if his actions hurt others. This is still a developing story, so come back to HNHH for the latest updates on Jonathan Majors.

6ix9ine’s Baby Mama Says His Gym Assault Is Embarrassing For Their 7-Year-Old Daughter

by

Earlier this week, footage of 6ix9ine’s brutal LA Fitness beatdown began circulating online. As a result, many have been clowning the embattled recording artist. While Boosie Badazz reminded the masses that “snitches get stitches,” Wack 100 was kind enough to show some love to the “good guy,” wishing him a “speedy recovery.” On Friday (March 24), it was reported that the recent victim is refusing to leave Florida at this time. Still, sources close to him say that he’s not planning on changing his lifestyle based on one unfortunate incident.

As discourse about 6ix9ine’s assault continues making rounds, his baby mama, Sara Molina, is sharing her thoughts on the drama. Through her rep, she spoke with TMZ, describing her ex’s recent antics as “sad to see.” Specifically, knowing that their seven-year-old daughter, Saraiyah, will eventually see the videos when she gets older has been hard. Of course, the New Yorker wasn’t exactly in the wrong during his attack. However, his co-parent feels as though not having security around was a reckless decision on his part, given his laundry list of similar past issues.

Sara Molina Speaks On Her Ex, 6ix9ine

Elsewhere in the conversation, Molina pointed out that 6ix9ine was forcibly removed from the World Baseball Classic. This took place because he was heavily intoxicated at the event earlier this month. The rapper’s baby mama is “surprised 69 has been walking around like he can’t be touched.” She also feels as though the beatdown “proves he’s misguided.” Above all else, she’s concerned for their daughter’s safety as her father continues to beef with other artists. However, it’s also been noted that the 26-year-old apparently hasn’t reached out to ask about Saraiyah since late 2022.

While there’s clearly contention between her and 6ix9ine, Molina says she’s more focused on Trump getting indicted than her ex getting jumped. She hopes that he’ll get the “help he needs,” but maintains that she and their daughter are doing just fine, regardless if the “GOOBA” artist is in their lives or not.

6ix9ine Refuses To Leave Florida After Beatdown, Self-Defense Influencer Trolls Him

by

It’s hard to remember the last time that the “GUMMO” rapper took over the news so powerfully and consistently. Moreover, after footage spread of 6ix9ine’s beatdown at the speed of light on social media, sources close to the rapper stated that he’s not planning to switch gyms or to South Florida, TMZ reports. Given the swift and jesting social media response to his assault, many might consider this a bad move. However, the rapper’s team stands by his alleged decision to not change the way he lives his life based on one incident.

After all, those jubilant about his attack spent years trashing the artist, and it’s a miracle that more headlines like these haven’t popped up. Of course, this is one attack too many, yet his constant taunting in the face of his detractors wasn’t lost on anyone this week. Still, even though much of the rap world responded with either understanding or satisfaction, there are many who saw it as no laughing matter. It’s still an assault at the end of the day, and could’ve been much worse.

6ix9ine Will Not Leave Florida As Self-Defense Influencer Trolls Him

Despite his wishes to keep his security as is, 6ix9ine’s attorney Lance Lazzaaro previously told TMZ that he contacted federal authorities to strengthen protection. Beyond that, if the 26-year-old is looking for tips on how to stand up to such attacks, perhaps he should look at a self-defense influencer’s video trolling him. Moreover, Detroit D.U.S.T. posted a skit of him telling followers how to survive a beatdown in an LA Fitness- “or anywhere else, if you’re six foot nine, or 69 years old, or you were born in 1969.” The video clearly has a more comical slant to it, but at least he does give some legitimate tips.

Whether they work or not is unclear, and Daniel Hernandez probably won’t look for trouble anytime soon. As Charlamagne Tha God stated, though, this is a learning opportunity for those who either taunt to no end, like 6ix9ine, or seek violent solutions, like his attackers. In a world where far too many rappers pass away from violence every year, this conversation should not stay in Twitter memes. Fortunately, he’s okay now, and videos like D.U.S.T.’s are somewhat helpful, albeit satirical. Regardless, check out that self-defense clip below and log back into HNHH for the latest on this story and more on 6ix9ine.

Charleston White Blasts People Celebrating 6ix9ine’s Beatdown

by

Charleston White is one of many in the pop culture world who reacted to 6ix9ine’s beatdown in an LA Fitness bathroom. However, he took a decidedly more uninvolved approach, blasting those who celebrated the attack on him. Of course, opinions on whether he deserved it or not are split among media discussion platforms and some of the culture’s most prolific commentators. However, in the Wild West of social media, it’s fair to say that many have treated the incident more lightly than other crime stories. As such, the former gang leader turned Internet personality had some words for those making light of the assault.

“Listen, I wanna tell all the black people that’s celebrating Tekashi 6ix9ine’s a**-whooping, stop celebrating,” he began. “Wait ’til Juneteenth. Wait ’til n***a day, n***a. Celebrate then. ‘Cause them Puerto Ricans got his a**. This is a battle between Puerto Ricans and Mexicans. N***as can’t claim that. So tell Lil Boosie, he didn’t get that a** whooping for the motherf***in’ streets. The streets still haven’t dealt nothin’ to Daniel. They didn’t beat him up, they just slapped him around. N***as who get beat up don’t walk out the door, asking questions.”

Charleston White Addresses 6ix9ine Situation

Moreover, he went on to say that Tekashi didn’t even get roughed up that much in the grander scheme of things. In fact, he even suggested that police call off their investigation. However, the real twist is that, rather than being more sympathetic, White seemed to suggest that it wasn’t the true retribution that he deserves. As such, his words indicate that he believes the “GUMMO” rapper still has a debt to pay.

Meanwhile, the rapper recently decided not to bring back his security and continue trying to live his life like a civilian. While it may be a slightly noble and understandable goal if he wants to live a normal life, it teeters between hopeful and naive. Given his reputation among the rap world and pop culture and large as a snitch, this will prove difficult. However, after this incident, it’s clear that he’s not out of surprises just yet. Regardless, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story.

6ix9ine Assault: Police Issue Statement

by

Authorities in Lake Worth just issued a statement regarding the assault on 6ix9ine that took place on Tuesday (March 21). Moreover, South Florida police posted via Twitter that they seek help in this case and are accepting any information. Given the rapper’s reputation as a snitch, which likely fueled the attack, it became a curious turn of events. Still, it’s no reason to brutally beat the “GUMMO” artist, as is shown in various social media clips surfacing online. Following that, on Wednesday (March 22), the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office addressed the situation.

“Last night, our deputies responded to an incident at LA Fitness (8000 Block of Lantana Rd) in Lake Worth,” the official police statement read. “An altercation occurred between several individuals, leaving [6ix9ine] Daniel Hernandez injured. Hernandez was transported to a local hospital to be treated for non life-threatening injuries.” Moreover, he was locked in a room by gym staff after the incident, who rushed him to safety. “We need your help!” the statement continued. “If you have any information, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS or stay anonymous by downloading the PBSO app for Apple or Android.”

Police Statement On 6ix9ine Attack

As such, perhaps those who beat the rapper up will eventually come to light, and may even face dire consequences for their actions. After footage surfaced of the LA fitness bathroom assault, where the 26-year-old faced attacks from multiple individuals, many in the rap game and beyond spoke out. For example, Charlamagne Tha God said that it was “only a matter of time,” and Boosie said that “snitches get stitches.” However, the former said that it’s no laughing matter, which the latter certainly doesn’t agree with. Also, some offered words of support in more sympathetic ways.

“It’s unfortunate what happened to 6ix9ine,” Wack 100 shared via Instagram. “He’s a good guy. Life is full of lessons. This isn’t about his so called street situation. This is about decision making on both sides. The ones who filmed and posted themselves will remember this day for years to come. And 69 will now know he has to move accordingly. #staydangerous & don’t hesitate. Wish him a speedy recovery.” Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest updates on this story and more from 6ix9ine.
