On this date in 2023, Brooklyn drill rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are of over 32 alleged gang members arrested in a 140-count indictment in New York.
According to the New York Daily News, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow treated fellow gang members to a splurging dinner at a Manhattan steak house in celebration of a 2020 shooting executred at Prospect Lefferts Gardens that killed 23-year-old Theodore Senior and injured five mores.
In addition, one of the members was awarded with a new custom gold chain referencing the street the dead man was from. According to NYPD Deputy Chief Jason Savino, the members wore matching outfits during their visit to the steakhouse.
24-year-old Sheff G, born Michael Williams, and 23-year-old, Sleepy Hollow, born Tegan Chambers, and 30 additional gang members were connected to 27 occasions of violence, which included at minium a dozen shootings. The arrested men and women are alleged members of 8 Trey Crips and 9 Way gangs.
“Sheff G is not a wannabe drill rapper. He is a legitimate person who made it good. He has gold records, he’s made a lot of money. He rented a very large house, some may call it a mansion, in Short Hills, N.J.,” Gonzalez said.
He added, “He [Sheff G] used his fame and fortune to elevate gang violence in Brooklyn.”
The investigation began after the Gardens shooting, sparked by social media disses between G and a Folk Nation gang-affiliated rapper. The shooting was executed in partnership of 8 Trey and 9 way. Authorities revealed a text message from Sheff G’s sister Williams’ stated members of the rival gangs needed “to get hit or killed.” Sheff G asked for receipts to show the executed shooting, receiving images fo the victim and news articles.
Sheff G served 15 months behind bars on these charges before the 25-year-old Brooklynite was released from the Otis Bantum Correctional Center in the Bronx on April 19. Sleepy Hallow was released the day before Valentine’s Day of 2023 after serving only eight months behind bars.
Chrisean Rock was reportedly served with James Wright Chanel’s lawsuit after she posted her location on social media. Radar Online reports that a process server was able to find Rock two months after Chanel filed the lawsuit by using a location she shared online. Rock had told her followers that she’d be at Los Angeles’ Cathedral High School at 6:30 PM on the day in question, resulting in an ambush from the process server.
Chanel has accused Rock of punching him in the face several times during an altercation back in November while the two were backstage at a Tamar Braxton concert. Chanel says she shouted homophobic slurs throughout the incident as well. He ended up seeking treatment for two broken teeth and injuries to his face.

Back in March, Chanel went on The Jst Us Podcast and reflected on the incident, revealing that it traumatized him. “I be getting emotional when I talk about this,” he said. “I’m still trying to figure out why this happened. Why did this happen to me? I wasn’t in an argument with anyone, I wasn’t going back and forth or arguing with anyone, none of that… What I walked in on was that with other people, not me. I would wake up out of my sleep crying and not knowing why. So when I contacted the therapist she said it’s trauma, trauma will wake you up out of your sleep… The thing is I could have lost my life. You know, the right hit, you could be out of here… When I go to sleep I still see the moment.”
Rock previously made headlines, last weekend, for celebrating her first Mother’s Day with her son. In doing so, she shared new footage of the two of them. Be on the lookout for further updates on Chrisean Rock on HotNewHipHop.
Steve Buscemi, the 66-year-old actor best known for his iconic roles in Pulp Fiction, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and more, was punched in the face in New York City, last week, according to a new report from The New York Post. He was walking through the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan when a stranger took a swing at him unprovoked. Buscemi’s face and left eye began swelling up and he went to Bellevue Hospital for treatment.
“Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city,” Buscemi’s publicist told The Post. “He is ok and appreciates everyone’s well wishes, though incredibly sad for everyone that this has happened to while also walking the streets of New York.” The attacker is reportedly still on the run. The NYPD released surveillance photos of a man accused of being the attacker. The pictures show him wearing a baseball hat, a blue t-shirt, and black sweatpants.

“I saw he was with a woman, and then through the corner of the window I saw him trip and fall backwards,” a worker in the area who witnessed part of the assault told The Post. Another woman with them added: “He right away got up and ran in the opposite direction. I didn’t see who hit him. It worries me for when we close because we close at 11 and it can get scary around that time.”
One of Buscemi’s BoardwalkEmpire co-stars, Michael Stuhbarg, was also attacked in a random act of violence in N.Y.C., earlier this year. Someone hit him with a rock in the back of the neck in the Upper East Side. Be on the lookout for further updates on Steve Buscemi on HotNewHipHop.
Last night, we reported that Kanye West had become a suspect in an alleged assault that took place on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles. Overall, this was a huge story, although fans were not sure what to make of it. It was said that Bianca Censori had been grabbed, which subsequently led to Ye’s alleged actions. However, Yeezy Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos came out and said that the situation was much different than what was reported. As he explains, Censori was sexually assaulted as a man tried to grab under her dress, while also blowing kisses.
“A stranger grabbed Bianca’ is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted,” Milo wrote. “The assailant didn’t merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted.”
Ye has been identified as a suspect in a battery case after he allegedly struck a man who sexually assaulted Bianca.

These allegations are extremely disturbing, and we hope Censori is doing okay at this time. Fans on social media were mortified by what they were hearing, and were quick to give their reactions. As you can see below, many agreed with Ye’s alleged reaction, noting that no one should be able to get away with sexual assault. At this time, more details are still coming in, so we will be sure to report on new information as it comes in.

Trey Songz is no stranger to allegations, and this week, yet another one of his alleged victims shared her story. During a recent episode of Behind The Likes, Winter Blanco recalled her experience with the R&B singer, and why she decided to keep it to herself for years. She accuses Trey Songz of assaulting her in 2018, and says she previously stayed silent for the sake of her career.
“He put his hands on me and I never talked about it,” she told her co-host, Chy Fontenette. “This is the first time I’ve ever talked about this publicly, I really don’t give a f*ck anymore. He put his hands on me, scared the f*ck out of me and I never said anything.”
Winter continued, revealing that other alleged victims’ lawyers have reached out, but she always chose not to get involved. “At the time there were girls settling for like $100,000, $200,000 and I never did it… In 2020, when that girl came out saying that he raped her, I had her lawyer reach out to me… I was like ‘I can’t be a part of it.’ But like, now where I am in my life, I’m tired of letting abusers get away with so much sh*t,” she explained. “I was not going to ever talk about it because I was still trying to do music, I was just like, ‘I don’t want this to affect my career.’”
“I was with a group of friends when it happened. They didn’t see it happened but I went and got in the car with them after and I had like, marks on my neck and scratches on my neck. All my nails were broken, my hands were bleeding, my knees were scraped up and sh*t,” she said. “[Trey Songz] was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know what you think happened but you were drunk and you hit me…. And I was like, ‘You are not going to trick me and play with my mind. I know what you did to me and you’re not going to convince me otherwise.’” What do you think of Winter Blanco revealing that she was allegedly assaulted by Trey Songz? Are you surprised?

Actor and rapper Isaiah Stokes, best known for his work on Power, has claimed he was assaulted in a protective custody area of Rikers Prison in New York. Stokes, who is detained pending trial for his alleged role in a 2021 fatal shooting. The claims were made during a hearing this week in front of the Queens District Supreme Court. Stokes reportedly suffered a cracked tooth during the assault. “His life is in danger at Rikers Island, his tooth was cracked. A quarter of his front tooth is broken off and this happened while he was in protective custody,” Stokes’ attorney told a judge. Furthermore, she requested that Stokes be moved to a different facility within the Rikers complex.
However, the request was denied by the presiding judge. “Since he is there and you’re telling me he is getting assaulted I would suggest you take it up with the Department of Corrections. I personally don’t have any ability to tell the Department of Corrections to move your client to a different facility. He is making an allegation that in protective custody, people are able to get to him. That’s a very serious allegation,” the judge said. Furthermore, the judge scolded Stokes for an exclusive interview he gave about his incarceration to the Daily Mail.

Of course, it’s not often that prison violence makes the news. However, Stokes is not the only famous prisoner to be assaulted behind bars. Last year, convicted rapist and pedophile Larry Nassar survived a prison stabbing in mid-July. Nassar has been in the federal prison system since 2017 after being found guilty of child pornography and sexual assault charges. Nassar had served as a team doctor at Michigan State and for the United States Olympic Team, using his position to conduct a two-decade reign of terror on the young women in his care.
According to an anonymous source, Nassar was stabbed by Shane McMillan, who was originally incarcerated on meth charges in 2002. Per the source, McMillan stabbed Nassar after the felon made “comments about wanting to see girls playing in the Wimbledon women’s match.” This reportedly occurred in Nassar’s cell, meaning there was no footage of the attack.
Kanye West seeks to dismiss the assault lawsuit against him from an alleged autograph dealer who sought his signature and is claiming self-defense in this case while denying any and all wrongdoing, according to court documents reportedly obtained by Radar Online. For those unaware, Justin Poplawski sued Ye this January in Los Angeles Superior Court for alleged battery and assault, and claimed to be a renowned autograph dealer who got his signature in the past without issue. The story goes that, on January 13 of 2022, Poplawski went to Soho Warehouse in downtown L.A. after hearing the Chicago artist was there.
Furthermore, the lawsuit accuses Kanye West of screaming at the supposed autograph dealer on his way out of the building, referencing his “f***ing divorce” from Kim Kardashian. “Go the f**k [out of] here before I beat you the f**k up. I’m going to make an f***ing example out of you,” he allegedly shouted at Paplowski. Then, the plaintiff claims, the 46-year-old punched his face. “So do you want to get attacked for real?” he allegedly asked Paplowski. When Paplowski allegedly asked Ye to apologize, he claims that he responded with “Apology for what?” Paplowski claims he attacked him several more times and “severely” injured and disfigured him as one of the rapper’s colleagues failed to settle him down.

As such, the lawsuit demands unspecified damages for medical expenses and mental strain. “Defendant is informed and believes, and based on such information and belief, alleges that Defendant was justified in doing any and/or all of the acts alleged in the Complaint,” the reportedly filed response reads. “All of the purported causes of action in the Complaint [become null] to the extent [Kanye West] acted in defense of himself and/or others. [West] acted reasonably and in good faith at all times material herein, based on all relevant facts and circumstances known to [West] at the time [West] so acted.”
The “CARNIVAL” creative requested that the court dismiss this case, award him attorney fees, and deny Paplowski any damages. Meanwhile, other lawsuits for sample clearance issues and other matters remain on the docket. We’ll see whether any of them see a similarly big update. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.
Rising star Quando Rondo has recently found himself entangled in legal troubles once again. Over the years, the Savannah rapper has garnered significant attention for being involved in multiple legal issues. His series of legal challenges have also cast a shadow over his promising career. Quando Rondo was recently arrested for a DUI, but this pales in comparison to his other controversies. Most infamously, he was linked to the murder of King Von in 2020. This negative publicity has led some fans to question their support for Rondo. However, others have continued to rally behind him, believing in his innocence.
Born Tyquian Terrel Bowman, he first gained widespread popularity with his breakout single “I Remember,” featuring Lil Baby in 2018. Since then, he has built a dedicated fan base and collaborated with prominent artists in the industry. But as aforementioned, he’s been making headlines more for his troubles with the law. Here, we’ll delve into the several legal issues surrounding Quando Rondo.
On March 15, 2019, Complex reported an incident involving Quando Rondo and Youngboy NBA. A lawsuit had been filed against them by YoungBoy’s former tour manager and DJ, Carl Capers, alleging assault, battery, and emotional distress. According to the lawsuit, on December 21, 2018, during a concert in Florence, South Carolina, the two artists got into an argument with a fervent fan. Capers asserted that he, YoungBoy, Quando, and their entourage were taken backstage by venue management after the confrontation escalated.
Capers further claimed that, while backstage, he was assaulted by Rondo and YoungBoy. He contended that Rondo, without provocation, initiated the incident by attempting to force him back onstage to quell the fan disturbance for the safety of their team. While Capers refused, he alleged that both Quando Rondo and YoungBoy immediately assaulted him, causing him to sustain a cracked tooth, bloody face, and injuries to his reputation.
One of the most significant incidents involving Quando Rondo was the highly publicized altercation that took place in November 2020. The rapper was linked to a violent confrontation outside a nightclub in Atlanta. The rift eventually led to a shoot-out that resulted in the tragic death of King Von. The incident sparked a heated debate about the circumstances surrounding the altercation, and raised questions about self-defense, as Quando Rondo claimed that he and his entourage were acting in self-defense during the confrontation.
According to TMZ’s report on the matter, Quando had been taking a nap outside the nightclub. Soon after, he woke up to the sight of King Von and his entourage approaching him and his associates angrily. Video footage captured the moment Von threw punches at Quando Rondo before the subsequent gunfight ensued.
Following King Von’s death, Quando chose to remain silent regarding the incident until two weeks later when he revealed his track “End of Story.” Through the song, he spoke on the shooting, addressed his role in the event, and once more asserted that he acted in self-defense. Notably, he expressed solidarity with his friend Timothy Leeks, also known as Lul Timm, who faced charges related to the murder of King Von.
In June 2023, Quando Rondo faced trouble with the law when he was apprehended in Chatham County, Georgia. He was charged in connection to drug sales and gang activity. Prosecutors asserted that he was implicated in the sale of marijuana. Despite these charges, Rondo secured his release on a $100,000 bond a few days after representatives from Atlantic Records had appeared in court.
A few weeks after his release on bond, however, he was involved in a car crash and displayed symptoms of a possible overdose. In response, prosecutors filed a motion seeking to revoke Rondo’s bond. Nevertheless, the motion was rejected. He was, however, barred from driving, until the conclusion of his trial on the drug and gang charges. Several months following his release on bond, the rapper found himself in FBI custody facing federal drug charges, even though he was already on bond for state drug charges.
On February 6, 2024, Quando Rondo was arrested and taken into custody in Georgia. The charges were for driving under the influence and reckless driving. Moreover, this arrest is linked to the aforementioned 2023 car accident involving the rapper. Unsurprisingly, Quando Rondo has been released once again, this time on a $4,600 bond. Hopefully, this will mark the end of his encounters with the law.
Jacob Elordi recently received assault accusations from a radio producer in Australia, which led to a full-on investigation from New South Wales’ police department. Moreover, according to Variety, this claim comes from producer Joshua Fox, who works on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on KIIS FM. His account, shared on the program’s most recent broadcast, is that he ran into the actor at a Sydney hotel and jokingly asked him for his bathwater to give to colleague Jackie O, a reference to his recent appearance in the film Saltburn that received multiple Golden Globes nominations this year. However, an important element of this story is that Fox filmed him during this, and he requested that he stop and get rid of relevant clips.
“‘I refuse to because I feel uncomfortable right now, and this is the only evidence,’” Fox seemingly recalled telling Jacob Elordi. “And then Jacob kind of just flips, and he kind of pushes me against the wall, and his hands are on my throat.” This is all speculative and based on accusations at press time, and the police investigation will likely yield more solid results. For now, though, the Euphoria star is in pretty hot water, and we’re waiting on more solid accounts to confirm or deny this.

Furthermore, New South Wales Police issued a statement on the matter of Jacob Elordi. “Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs,” they expressed regarding Olivia Jade Giannulli’s ex. “Police were told about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday 3 February 2024, a 32-year-old man was allegedly assaulted by a 26-year-old man. The man did not sustain any injuries. Inquiries into the incident is continuing.”
Meanwhile, this contrasts heavily with the Brisbane native’s usual demeanor and poise in public appearances. A recent example is his stint on The Kelly Clarkson Show, on which he praised Eminem for teaching him an American accent. Hopefully this situation finds a conclusion in a way that doesn’t push the drama further. For more news on Jacob Elordi and the entertainment world, check back in with HNHH.
It looks like 6ix9ine separates work from his personal life, because when it comes to his partners and not his rap game peers or street acquaintances, he’s loyal to a fault. Moreover, a new clip emerged of him in the car with his boo, Yailin La Más Viral, as he gushed over her. Unless this is a new flame that looks pretty much identical to her, then this is the same woman that was arrested on felony charges just a couple of weeks ago for threatening him with a knife, assaulting him with a two-by-six, and verbally abusing him. Unless the New York provocateur moved on to a lookalike, it seems like this is water under the bridge for him.
“Yo amo a esta tipa con toda mi vida,” 6ix9ine began. “Te lo juro que yo doy mi vida por esta tipa. No importa que ella diga, pero yo la amo con toda mi vida. Es la tipa la más hermosa que yo he visto en mi vida. Te lo juro por mi madre que es una tipa que yo he deseado en mi vida entera. Te lo juro que es un sueño que yo esté con ella. Mira esta tipa, qué bonita es ella. No, pero ella no tiene que ser eso. Yo la amo con la vida entera mía.” Too long, didn’t translate? We’ve got you covered on the former gang affiliate‘s love for his girl.
“I love this girl with my whole life,” 6ix9ine said. “I swear that I would give my life for this woman. It doesn’t matter what she says, but I love her with my whole life. She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my life. I swear on my mother that she’s a woman I’ve wanted for my whole life. I swear it’s a dream for me to be with her. Look at this girl, she’s so pretty. No, but she doesn’t need to be that. I love her with my whole life.”
Meanwhile, the rainbow-haired artist recently was accused of loving someone else with his whole life. DJ Akademiks recently blasted the rapper’s ex, Jade, for claiming that the two associates slept together for a while. He outright denied having relations with his musical and content partner, so we’ll see what other antics await for them in 2024. For more news and the latest updates on 6ix9ine, check back in with HNHH.
