YK Osiris Accused Of Assault By Ex-Employee

by

Following a recent alleged instance of abuse that went viral, more information is coming out about rapper YK Osiris’ past. Just yesterday, YK Osiris was in some pretty hot water after a video of him forcing himself on fellow rapper Sukihana went viral. His behavior was criticized as sexual assault and many online couldn’t believe that others watched the incident without interfering. Dozens of rappers and celebrities gave their thoughts on the incident including Meek Mill, Amber Rose, and Wack 100.

Now, a woman who claims to be a former employee of YK Osiris is speaking out about her experiences. In a TikTok posted earlier today on her account @SheNastaye she told her story. “Sukihana I just want to say this. I’m empathetic towards you, and I’m also envious of you. Because luckily for you, the things that happened to you happened in a space where it was pubic,” she says. “And the reason I’m envious is because a person like me that experienced the same exact thing with the same person didn’t get the opportunity to show the whole world the things that were said, that were done to me individually behind closed doors,” she continues. She goes on to conclude that she didn’t want to speak out sooner because she thought she’d be perceived as a clout chaser.

YK Osiris’ Controversial History

In the video, YK Osiris’ accuser also says she doesn’t believe his apology. “I already know that somebody probably wrote that apology for you because you’re not a person who literally is willing to apologize because you don’t take accountability for anything.” It’s a sentiment shared by others online most notably Sukihana’s own mother. She called the statement he made a “fake a** apology.”

This isn’t the first time YK Osiris has been in trouble for violent behavior. In 2019 YK reportedly assaulted his girlfriend in an incident which reportedly included him biting her. The case was eventually dropped in 2021 by the Fulton County district attorney. What do you think about YK Osiris’ recent behavior? Let us know in the comment section below.

Meek Mill Responds To Backlash After Appearing To Defend YK Osiris

by

For some reason, Meek Mill decided to chime into the YK Osiris/Sukihana controversy on Wednesday, and as expected, his comments didn’t necessarily sit with fans. As Osiris faced sexual assault accusations for forcing himself on Sukihana at The Crew League, Meek Mill leaped to the “Worth It” singer’s defense in what many felt was incredibly tone-deaf. “Don’t do this to him please he a good kid,” he wrote. “we don’t need our young bulls tore down for mistakes in this hyper sexual era…. I support suki.”

Fans immediately began piling onto Meek Mill, and rightfully so. His comments came in response to Sukihana expressing her fear, writing, “I am hurt and I am scared to stand up for myself.” Meanwhile, YK Osiris issued an apology, which also wasn’t well-received. “In an attempt to be playful, I misread the moment and violated Sukihana’s boundaries.” He explained that he “understands the importance of consent,” and felt embarrassed by the moment. “I take full responsibility and have made multiple attempts to apologize,” he added.

Meek Mill Responds To Backlash

Shortly after his initial tweet, Meek Mill issued another response to his fans where he criticized the supposed double standard. “Y’all drawing a big line between m*n and wom*n nowadays on social …..it’s getting bad in the black community!  All this internet superficial shaming, judging gaslighting only hurt us  people and it’s alot of people who need strength especially young black men,” he wrote.

Meek’s solution appeared to be having YK Osiris fight Sukihana’s brother. “he might gotta rumble suki brother anything but this same internet tear each other down stuff! Suki can do what she wants she feels violated… but let me mind my business,” he wrote shortly after doing exactly the opposite of minding his business. Still, he reiterated that he supports Sukihana. “And protect suki!  Osiris you a dh! Go back to church stop following the heathens!” he added. Check out his tweets above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below.

Coolio’s Estate Receives $173K Demand From Alleged Assault Victim

by

Coolio’s alleged victim of assault recently demanded that the late rapper‘s estate pay her $173K stemming from an unresolved lawsuit. Back in 2011, Randa Davis sued him for allegedly jumping on her back and riding her like a bull after a September 2009 concert in Detroit, which not only injured but humiliated her. According to that suit, the Compton-raised MC was very drunk and invited Davis and a friend to a VIP area after the show for some clubbing when the incident occurred. A few years passed, and he allegedly ignored the filing until she sought default judgement. However, when an attorney appeared on his behalf after he caught wind, the judge still aware Davis the money in question back in 2013.

Ten years later, that default payment is the center of her demand to Coolio’s estate. From what Radar Online reports indicate, Davis put forth a creditor’s claim for $173,069.28 and claimed that she is still owed this money from the verdict. In her initial lawsuit, she alleged to have experienced “pain, disability, mental anguish, medical expenses, wage loss, loss of future earning potential and other damages” as a result of the incident. Given that she originally wanted $1 million in damages, it’s unclear whether this new demand is full or partial payment.

However, this situation faces further complications when it comes to the beneficiaries of the “Fantastic Voyage” artist’s estate. Moreover, back in April, a judge sided with his manager’s motion to access these assets since Coolio passed away without a will in September of 2022. However, earlier reports indicated that the estate would likely split between his seven children. As such, perhaps there will be multiple sides trying to decide how to handle these demands, and the rest of what the hip-hop legend left behind.

Unfortunately, the rapper’s loss halted his plans to close out 2022 with big events. For one, he apparently came close to finalizing a deal for a 10-show residency in Las Vegas, specifically at the Westgate Resort & Casino. While these never came to fruition, he will live on through his family, projects in his honor, and the legacy and impact of his music. Perhaps his estate will also allow wrongs in his name to be rectified and finally laid to rest. For more updates and the latest news on Coolio, log back into HNHH.

Soulja Boy Requests Retrial In Alleged Assault Case

by

Soulja Boy is accusing a jury of misconduct in the assault and kidnapping case brought by his ex-girlfriend, Kayla Myers. Myers filed the civil suit in 2020, alleging that the rapper assaulted her and kidnapped her at his Malibu home for six hours. Despite authorities not criminally charging Soulja, a jury in the civil trial ordered Soulja to pay Myers $235,000 after ruling in her favor. During the trial, Myers showed the jury photos of her alleged injuries, including three fractured ribs, as well as messages from Soulja Boy.

In Soulja’s new motion, his legal team claims there was “irregularity in the proceedings of the court, jury or adverse party, or any order of the court or abuse of discretion by which either party was prevented from having a fair trial.” He also reportedly has discovered new evidence that he wants to present in court.

A main factor in Soulja’s decision to request a retrial reportedly stems from a further award of $236,000 in “punitive damages” the jury gave Myers. The figure brought Myers’ total closer to $500,000. At the time, her attorney, Max Engelhardt, told RadarOnline.com: “We’re pleased with the jury’s verdict for $472,000. Mr. Way [Soulja Boy] assaulted and terrorized Kayla, and that was borne out by the evidence and testimony. The punitive damages were substantial, and hopefully they will serve as a lesson to Mr. Way that his celebrity status is not a license to commit violence.”

Paying off the damages shouldn’t be too difficult for Soulja, who recently showed off the massive earnings he made from his hit single, “Kiss Me Thru The Phone.” During an interview with HipHopDX, Soulja claimed he was making $100,000 a month at one point from the track. He explained that the figure was so high due to a phone number featured in the music video. Each time fans dialed the number, he made money.

Chris Brown Could Be Arrested If He Returns To Britain

by

In February, Chris was questioned by British police in relation to a reported assault on a music producer. According to the allegations, Brown smashed a bottle over the head of the unnamed producer while at a nightclub. “A row broke out with a guy and Brown’s crowd and the man was hit over the head with a bottle.” The witness to the incident continued. “He tried to get up off the ground to escape but he was surrounded and then punched and kicked.”

While Brown’s representatives said the rapper would meet with law enforcement at the end of March. “Two men were due to attend a police station for a voluntary interview on March 29 but did not attend. Enquiries are ongoing to locate them.” However, he reportedly returned to the US at the end of his tour without meeting with the cops. This may lead to more serious legal consequences if he crosses the Atlantic.

Brown Will Face Arrest If He Re-enters the UK

According to sources who spoke with the Sun, Brown could face arrest if he returns to the UK. “Chris knows he will be arrested if he goes back to the UK but is still doing everything he can to avoid it. But he is also concerned he could potentially be picked up in any country with an extradition treaty with Great Britain.”

However, it’s not the first time that Brown has faced British-centric controversy. After being convicted of assaulting Rihanna, Brown was banned from entering the UK. That ban was overturned by Home Secretary Priti Patel in 2020 but the ban still weighs on the artist. “There was some speculation in the Brown camp that the British might be too embarrassed to arrest Chris because the Government had let him back in.” This may be why Brown was allowed to leave the country in March. While Brown does not have an upcoming on the books, this development could affect his future plans.

White Boy Rick Arrested, Ex-Gangster Reportedly Punched Woman After Saying Wrong Name During Sex

by

If you thought that White Boy Rick put his criminal past behind him after being released from prison in July 2020, you were wrong. According to a report from the NY Post, the notorious former Detroit gangster was arrested once again earlier this week. His first trip behind bars was in 1987 as a result of having eight kilos of cocaine and nearly $30,000. This time, the criminal – born Richard Wershe Jr. – is in trouble for allegedly punching his girlfriend during sex.

According to the outlet, the drama began when Rick said another woman’s name in the middle of intercourse. His partner, who remains unidentified at this time, was understandably upset and tried to leave the bed. Caught up in the heat of the moment, the ex-con apparently grabbed her hand to snatch a diamond bracelet and necklace previously gifted to her by Wershe. She told police that after pulling away she threw a shoe at her lover, but ultimately missed. He promptly took more aggressive action, running over to allegedly punch the woman in the chest.

White Boy Rick Arrested in Miami

An unidentified witness has corroborated Rick’s girlfriend’s story, though it remains unclear why they were at the scene. Their quarrel actually took place last Saturday (May 6). Because she was concerned about her immigration status, the victim held off on reporting to the police until Tuesday. The next day, Wershe was booked and charged with felony robbery by sudden snatching, as well as a misdemeanour battery charge.

After posing for yet another mugshot, Wershe reportedly made his $5,000 bond on Wednesday, at which time he was released from Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Centre. He’s obviously no stranger to the ins and outs of the legal system, eventually becoming Michigan’s longest-serving nonviolent juvenile offender after almost three decades in the slammer. Have you seen the White Boy Rick film inspired by the former gangster? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture/hip-hop news updates.

Nicki Minaj And Husband Avoid Assault Lawsuit

by

Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty are facing even more legal trouble. The pair allegedly failed to respond to a lawsuit filed against them earlier this year. The suit was filed by Thomas Weidenmüller, one of Nicki Minaj’s former security guards. He claims that the couple physically and verbally assaulted him. The alleged assault took place in January 2022 during a concert in Frankfurt, Germany. Weidenmüller says that Minaj and Petty attacked him after a male fan breached a barricade and approached Minaj.

Weidenmüller was allegedly punched by Petty during the incident. The former security guard was hospitalized for over a week with a suspected broken jaw. He has had seven surgeries since. He is now seeking more than $700,000 from the couple. The plaintiff has requested a default judgment, but the Pettys have allegedly been difficult to track down. Apparently, Minaj is the only one against whom the judge has granted Weidenmüller a default judgment. The couple has yet to issue a public statement on the matter. This isn’t the first legal issue for the Pettys.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Has A Shady Past… Or Does He?

For years, Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty have been plagued by his sexual assault conviction in the 90s. He was arrested in 2021 for not registering as a sex offender in the state of California. However, last year, a new video emerged where his accuser said that she was pressured into pressing charges. In other words, she said that Petty was innocent of the sexual assault crime for which he was convicted. The alleged victim, Jennifer Hough, went on record in the video to say that she attempted to have the charges dropped. When the news broke, many called for apologies to be made to both Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty.

On the post detailing the new lawsuit, many took to the comment section to let their thoughts on the matter be known. Many expressed their frustration at the seemingly endless legal issues Minaj has had since her marriage to Petty. “She never had this many legal issues before Kenny? School me if I’m wrong,” one fan said. “This man has done so much damage to her legacy, her biggest miss!” said another. What do you think of the latest allegations against Kenneth Petty? Let us know in the comments!

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty’s Alleged Assault May Cost Her $750K

by

Nicki Minaj just found herself (and her husband) in more hot legal water, although this time she might be too late to rectify it. Moreover, the rapper faces a default judgement in a $753K lawsuit over an alleged assault that took place during her Frankfurt, Germany tour stop back in 2019. According to a RadarOnline report from Friday (April 28), security guard Thomas Weidenmuller, who first sued the couple back in 2022, motioned for the court to give Minaj a default judgement. Furthermore, it seems like they failed to answer to the lawsuit in time. While the “Super Freaky Girl” MC faces said judgement, Weidenmuller still hasn’t been able to obtain it against Kenneth Petty. Perhaps the 40-year-old will not have to pay the lawsuit’s full amount as a result, but that’s still unclear.

As his story goes, the security guard had a heated discussion prompted by the couple after a fan got past security barricades and on stage with Nicki Minaj. Even though security quickly resolved the issue in 15 seconds, the couple allegedly confronted Weidenmuller and his colleagues after the show. Reportedly, the Trinidadian-born artist called a female security guard on Weidenmuller’s team a “f***ing b***h” and trashed her live on social media. That’s when the security guard escorted his coworker away from the showdown. When he went to Minaj’s dressing room to keep discussing the issue, Kenneth Petty allegedly punched him in the face.

In addition, his claims include the suggestion that Nicki Minaj told her husband to attack him. As such, his lawsuit is on accusations of “battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence,” according to court documents from the RadarOnline report. Unfortunately, this is far from the first time the couple faced court action together. The court ordered Petty to settle a lawsuit from his sexual assault accuser after he and Minaj allegedly harassed her to drop her charges.

However, the accuser dropped charges against Nicki, even though she claimed she tried to intimidate her. Moreover, Judge James R. Cho took the case to mediation back in December of 2022 and stated there would be trial if no agreement was reached. How this affected, or will affect, her musical career and public image is still a developing story. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news on Kenneth Petty and his wife Nicki Minaj.

Soulja Boy Ordered To Pay $235k In Assault Case

by

Soulja Boy is going to have to pay a pretty penny to his ex-girlfriend for a party gone awry. The rapper has reportedly been instructed to pay $235,000 to his ex-girlfriend, Kayla Meyers. This was a result of a lawsuit filed against him following an incident in 2019 where she accused him of assault and kidnapping. A Los Angeles jury made a decision on Meyers’ civil case on Friday, as reported by Radar Online. According to court records, the jury granted Meyers $1,800 for “mental health expenses” and an additional $234,100 for “physical and mental pain and suffering,” totaling $235,900. The jury also determined that Soulja acted with “malice, oppression or fraud.”

During her testimony last week, Meyers presented pictures of her purported injuries, including three broken ribs. In addition to the text messages, she exhibited DMs that she claimed were sent to her by the rapper. While Soulja Boy was not charged with a crime for the alleged assault, law enforcement officers discovered weapons at his residence, which breached the conditions of his probation. The rapper contends that a third party caused Myers’ injuries and has denied any culpability.

Soulja Boy’s Party From Hell

Soulja Boy sure knows how to ruin a good night. In February 2019, a party was reportedly held at the location where an incident occurred. The events of that night led to a lawsuit being filed against the rapper and his assistant for sexual battery. The alleged assault and kidnapping happened at the his Malibu residence and lasted for about six hours. When the victim, Kayla Myers, tried to leave, there was a disagreement between her and one of Soulja’s assistants. According to the suit, Myers claims she was knocked to the ground and kicked in the stomach.

In addition to the physical abuse, Myers alleges that Soulja Boy pointed a “large” firearm at her head and threatened to kill her. The rapper then purportedly instructed another assistant to tie her up with duct tape and have her shower to clean up the wounds she sustained. Myers states that Anderson offered to release her if she performed oral sex on him, which she did. Then, at 8 AM, the victim was allowed to leave. At the time, Soulja Boy reportedly said, “Now get this b*tch outta here before I knock her down the stairs.” What do you think of the jury’s decision? Let us know in the comments.
