Speaking to NBC Miami following the attack, 6ix9ine said, “For me, it was tough to watch because it was so unexpected. It’s cowardly. When I look at it, I just see hate, right? Imagine being someone who doesn’t know someone from a hole in the wall. I’ll give you an example: today is the first day that I meet you, I don’t know you from anywhere, I could have heard something about you that I may have an opinion on, but I don’t know you to hate you.”

June 30, 2022 by newhiphopnews

DDG fought the law and he won. The platinum-selling rapper was cleared today (June 30) of his charges for illegal gun possession, TMZ reports. His manager, Dimitri Hurt, stated that California’s new gun laws permitting concealed firearms were pivotal in the District Attorney ultimately deciding to throw the case out and not pursue further litigation. Needless to say, the 24-year-old was thrilled about this news and took to Instagram to express his excitement. He even cracked a joke about how vlogger Charleston White is his lawyer when, in fact, it is Hurt who doubles as his manager and lawyer.

Polo G Has Two Felony Charges Dropped In Miami

November 15, 2021 by newhiphopnews

Polo G has been having a good past couple of weeks. After announcing the Hall Of Fame 2.0 deluxe edition of his No. 1 album (with 14 new tracks) last week, he also released the Michael Jackson-sampling “Bad Man (Smooth Criminal)” lead single. Now, the scales of justice have tipped in his favor as Miami-Dade County prosecutors have dropped two felony charges against him stemming from a June incident.

The charges were for battery of a police officer and threatening a public servant, which occurred in a physical altercation that the rapper had with two cops who pulled over his car. He was merely a passenger in a private car, along with his mother and manager, Stacia Mac. They both eventually went on social media to explain how there was no grounds for even removing the rapper — who was on his way back from his album release party — from the car. “1 of the officers told us they was on us since we got off our Jet…..” he posted on Twitter shortly after posting bail.

In June, Uproxx indicated that “According to Billboard and documents provided by Miami police, the rapper was stopped in order to be searched for weapons as a cop suspected they might be carrying some because they heard a passenger say the vehicle they were riding in was bulletproof.”

Being in a bulletproof car is perfectly legal and is hardly a cause to pull somebody over. It seems as though the Miami-Dade County prosecutor feels the same way here and have thus dropped the charges. And while Polo G is still facing two misdemeanor charges, his attorney told TMZ that “Polo will enroll in an anger management program, and once it’s completed the remaining charges will be dropped and the case will be closed.”
