Tory Lanez Issues Scathing Response To Woman Suing Him Over Alleged 2021 Car Accident

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez continues to be a big name in the headlines over new revelations and discussion over his conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. However, he also has other legal issues to deal with. One of them is a woman named Krishna Grullon’s 2022 lawsuit over an alleged 2021 car accident in which she accused the Canadian artist of sideswiping her vehicle. She was reportedly four months pregnant at the time and alleged that he did not “maintain a proper lookout,” “yield,” “obey a traffic signal,” or “use due car.” Also, Grullon claims that Lanez never left his vehicle, and wants to make him accountable for the “pain and suffering, loss of past wages, loss of future earning capacity, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life” that she claims the crash caused.

However, the Lost Tapes artist alleged his innocence back in 2022 and continues to do so via his legal team. They claim that he was never in any sort of accident. Now, according to an In Touch report, a court motion filed on Tory Lanez’s behalf alleged that Krishna Grullon stalled and continues to stall her release of her medical records to his team. As such, he reportedly seeks to convince a judge to force her to hand these records over.

Nevertheless, Krishna Grullon and her family member Jesse, who was in the passenger seat at the time, are suing Tory Lanez for damages, which remain undisclosed at press time. In addition, as of writing this article, the judge in this case has not yet offered a ruling on this motion. Elsewhere, his legal team continues to fight for an appeal in the Megan Thee Stallion case, an attempt that the court has yet to make a decisive ruling on.

Other legal actions regarding Tory Lanez, though, have nothing to do with the Canadian musician himself. For example, Megan Thee Stallion recently sued YouTuber Milagro Gramz for the alleged spread of misinformation regarding that shooting case. We will see how that particular legal battle ends up. As for Krishna Grullon’s situation, we will also have to wait and see.

The plaintiffs nor the James’ have spoken at all since the news broke. As for when the paperwork was filed, it was during the afternoon of Tuesday, October 22.

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

T-Pain was rear-ended in a hit-and-run accident near Atlanta on Sunday and documented the aftermath of the incident in a video on his Instagram page. He says the unknown driver smashed into his vehicle while he was headed home from the airport.

“Times is hard out here, man,” he said. “Whoever just f*ckin’ ran into the back of my goddamn truck, man, whoever just hit me, my wife, my road manager… whoever just did that sh*t and drove off? My n***a. Life’s about to get so much worse. First of all, n***a: you left the whole goddamn front of your truck, so we know what we’re looking for now. You left your f*ckin’ baby toy. So, we know you got kids. Look, I know times is hard. And I know things is rough out there. But I tell you what: sh*t is going too great for me to not make me want revenge right now.”

Despite the accident, T-Pain appeared to be in good spirits, returning to the comments section of his post with jokes. “Ppl that are saying my neck and back gonna hurt tomorrow are really underestimating how much my neck and back was already hurting from just being old. Also we’re in Atlanta a mile away from making it home from the airport. It was a ~2003-2007 silver Chevy SUV that probably looks like they hit something super hard and missing the grill.”

2 Chainz Car Accident: Rapper Hit By Tesla While Driving Home From Strip Club, In Stable Condition

December 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As he moves into the latter half of his mid-40s, 2 Chainz is showing no signs of slowing down. To close out 2023, he and Lil Wayne unveiled their long-awaited Welcome 2 Collegrove project, which includes 21 titles and guest appearances from Rick Ross, Benny The Buther, Vory, and more. As Titi Boi and Weezy continue to celebrate their success, we’ve seen the former doing plenty of travelling for interviews and events. This weekend, he’s one of the many stars in Miami for the city’s annual Art Basel festival, though celebrations are already getting off on the wrong foot, according to TMZ.

On Saturday (December 9) morning, the outlet shared that Chainz fell victim to a car crash after leaving a local strip club called the Booby Trap. Reports reveal that the “4 AM” hitmaker was driving on the I-95, about to exit, when a Tesla suddenly struck his whip from the back. At this time, authorities believe the driver who hit the recording artist was likely driving under the influence. The front left driver’s side of their ride is in ruins, proving just how intense the force of the accident was.

Thankfully, the Georgia-born artist is in stable condition because of the first responders on the scene to assist him. Chainz’s Instagram Story lit up with a video of his legs laying out on a stretcher. He was placed in the back of an ambulance, causing fans to raise questions about his well-being. Things could’ve been much worse, but still, the lyricist is suffering from neck injuries, not to mention other potential harm caused to his body during the impact.

Elsewhere in the news, 2 Chainz was spotted looking as fresh as ever while sitting beside Lil Wayne in the Balenciaga runway’s front row earlier this month. Though the duo weren’t the only celebrities in attendance, they’re certainly feeling the backlash for supporting the previously cancelled fashion brand.

Wayne Brady Reportedly Involved In Car Accident That Lead To Physical Altercation

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, Wayne Brady was involved in a car accident. While that’s often bad enough, it wasn’t the end of things for the all-purpose entertainer. According to TMZ, the accident happened on the PCH in Malibu. While Brady didn’t have to be taken to the hospital afterward, sources close to him claim that he was “banged up and sore” and will be taking things easy for a few days following the accident.

Check out the full report on the situation below.

Wayne Brady Car Accident Turns Into A Fight

Celebrities have to get around just like everybody else which means they’re often liable to get into car trouble. In the past few months, while dealing with the rollout of her new memoir, Britney Spears was reportedly pulled over twice by police. Though the interactions seemed largely respectful, Spears was hit with a few tickets. The biggest came because she was driving without her license and proof of insurance, which she claimed her security normally carries.

Earlier this year, R&B star Khalid got into a car accident of his own. He was parked on the side of the road while his vehicle was overheated when somebody reportedly drove by and struck his car. Thankfully, he was left with only minor injuries. Shortly after the accident happened his mother shared an update to social media that he was resting and recovering and he got back to touring with Ed Sheeran shortly afterward.

Rod Wave’s D.C. Show Victim To Car Break-Ins: Details

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rod Wave is currently on tour to celebrate the release of one of his more successful records, Nostalgia. The fifth full-length project in the rapper’s discography is racking up the streams as of late. All five of Rod’s most popular songs are from his latest tape. Those are as follows: “Turks & Caicos” with 21 Savage, “Boyz Don’t Cry,” “Great Gatsby,” “Call Your Friends,” and “Fight The Feeling.” All of that amounted to around 137,000 units sold. To further cement the project’s status Rod is selling out shows and performing controversial stunts that have had everyone talking. Now, we have another interesting but scary development around his tour.

After a presumedly great show, fans felt like nothing could have gone wrong that night. However, there were a few unlucky concertgoers. Multiple cars were broken into across numerous parking lots. Some publications, including HipHopDX, were originally reporting that over 200 vehicles were tampered with. However, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), corrected those claims, clarifying that there were “approximately 10.”

— HipHopDX (@HipHopDX) November 14, 2023

This may not be surprising for D.C. residents, though. Since 2022, there has been a staggering 98 percent uptick in crime. These were taking place around Capital One Arena, the place where Rod Wave was performing. As of now, there is no word on any arrests. More information should hopefully be coming out in the next few days. We hope that everyone at that show got home safely.

What are your initial thoughts on all of these car break-ins at Rod Wave’s show in D.C.? Do you think that the attackers were aware of the concert? Should security in D.C. parking lots be put into play? We would like to know what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.
