April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As folks continue to react to NBA YoungBoy’s recent arrest in Utah on multiple charges, it looks like this case is getting much more complicated and serious. For those unaware, news of his Tuesday (April 16) arrest relayed charges of “patterns of unlawful activity, procuring or attempting to procure drugs, identity fraud, forgery, possession of controlled substances, and possession of a dangerous weapon.” According to a Wednesday (April 17) report from KUTV, the Baton Rouge native got hit with 63 total charges encompassing his alleged furthering of prescription drug fraud scheme. Police accuse him of participating in a plot that called in prescriptions with real medics’ names, but fake patient names.

This news after YB’s mugshot emerged online, and police continued their claim by alleging that his crew would pick these drugs up from local pharmacies. Specifically, he faces 20 counts of identity fraud, 20 counts of obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, and 20 counts of forgery. Also, YoungBoy faces one count each of the following charges: possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, continuing a pattern of illegal activity, and possession of a controlled substance. Overall, it seems to be a wide-ranging case, and these alleged actions constitute multiple crimes that pose a serious threat to his future.

Furthermore, YoungBoy was arrested at his home in Utah following a police raid, the property on which he’s been on house arrest since 2022, awaiting a federal gun trial in Louisiana. During this raid, law enforcement reportedly seized multiple prescription pills, weapons, and electronic devices after they issued a search warrant. While there’s not much else we know about this case at press time following these 63 charges, we’ve rounded up what’s available here. Hopefully this situation becomes a bit clearer with time, although we can’t imagine it’ll get any easier for the 24-year-old.

Meanwhile, this follows some recent beef with Finesse2tymes, the last big headline before this arrest took them over in regards to him. What do you think about this whole case, and do you think that there’s a way out? Whatever the case, let us know down in the comments section below.

NBA YoungBoy Arrested In Utah On Numerous Charges

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For the last two years, NBA YoungBoy has been under house arrest in Utah. Overall, this stems from a charge in Louisiana that he is currently awaiting trial for. During this time, he has continued to make music and record music videos on his property. However, it seems as though the legal issues for YoungBoy have taken a significant turn for the worse. According to DJ Akademiks, the rapper was arrested on Tuesday, and he has been hit with numerous charges.

The charges in question are “patterns of unlawful activity, procuring or attempting to procure drugs, identity fraud, forgery, possession of controlled substances, and possession of a dangerous weapon.” Previously, authorities had accused YoungBoy of doing drugs in his home, and they were looking to use this as a reason to revoke his house arrest. With this latest arrest, it seems like he will have to be behind bars for a while. As Akademiks notes in his reports, he is currently without bond at this time.

Rod Wave Released From Jail, Officials Confirm Gun Charges Weren’t “Accurate”

April 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Rod Wave was arrested at his home in Palmetto, FL on two counts of illegal possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. Fortunately for the “Long Journey” performer, however, those charges are now confirmed to have been inaccurate. Yesterday, he was released from jail only hours after his arrest.

“He was arrested on a charge that was later determined not to be accurate, so he was released,” St. Petersburg PD spokesperson Yolanda Fernandez said yesterday. “This investigation is still open, it’s still ongoing and we are still looking to arrest more people and additional charges could be forthcoming.”

Rod Wave’s Lawyer Says Rapper Is Not A Convicted Felon

According to Rod Wave’s lawyer Mark Rankin, officials had nowhere near enough evidence to convict the rapper. Apparently, he’s also not a convicted felon. “The entire basis of that allegation was that the ammunition was on a kitchen counter or a table adjacent to a folder that had some papers with his name inside. That’s it,” he said of the incident. “That’s certainly not enough to charge somebody and certainly not enough to convict him… If you took two minutes to look at his record online, you would see that he’s not a convicted felon. And these are police officers that know how to check somebody’s criminal record.”

Rankin says that his client was convicted of a felony back in 2017 for carrying a concealed firearm. The charge was later reduced to a misdemeanor. What do you think of Rod Wave getting arrested earlier this week after police searched his home and accused him of illegally possessing a firearm? What about him getting released because the charges weren’t accurate? Are you surprised? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jonathan Majors’ Conviction Stands After Court Denies Motion To Drop Assault & Harassment Charges

April 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In February, Jonathan Majors’ scheduled sentencing hearing was pushed back after his team filed a motion to vacate his conviction entirely. The defense reportedly felt as though insufficient evidence was presented at trial, that his charges were inconsistent, and more. Now, the court has shot him down, meaning he’ll be handed a sentence next week on April 8.

Earlier this year, the actor was found guilty of assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. His conviction could see him get up to a year behind bars, or depending on how the sentencing goes, probation. Majors has maintained his innocence throughout the trial, and post-conviction. “I was reckless with her heart, not with her body,” he said of Jabbari in an interview with ABC News‘ Linsey Davis shortly after his guilty verdict was revealed.

Jonathan Majors Could Spend Up To A Year Behind Bars

Jabbari isn’t the only one of Majors’ former partners to come forward with assault allegations in recent months, however. In February, his exes Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper went public with accusations of physical and emotional abuse. Duncan alleges that he once “threw her across the room” and “threatened to make sure she couldn’t have children” during a fight in 2016. Hooper claims Majors was “deeply controlling” throughout their relationship, which she was allegedly “not allowed to speak with anyone about.”

Majors denies their allegations too, but admits that he’s “deeply embarrassed by some of his jealous behavior.” What do you think of a court rejecting Jonathan Majors’ request to get his charges dropped? What about the actor’s sentencing hearing next week? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Chrisean Rock’s Alleged Tamar Braxton Concert Victim Presses Charges

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In November of last year, Chrisean Rock made headlines for allegedly punching a backup singer in the face at a Tamar Braxton concert. Now, it appears as though she’s facing legal consequences. Reportedly, she had been under the impression that she would be allowed to perform some of her own songs at Braxton’s show, but was whisked offstage before she could do so. This upset Chrisean, prompting her to allegedly take her anger out on a nearby target. The unfortunate alleged victim, James Wright Chanel, accuses her of punching him in the nose and chipping his tooth in the process. Reportedly, he filed against her yesterday (February 6).

Shortly after the incident, Chanel took to social media to share his side of the story, claiming to have been nothing but an “innocent bystander.” Chrisean later addressed the allegations on social media, seemingly denying any wrongdoing. “I don’t get disrespectful till you get disrespectful,” she Tweeted. She later chalked the debacle up to “clout chasing” on Instagram Live.

“I don’t know what’s going on, and why ni**as is popping like I’m not just a female,” she explained. “The clout-chasing s**t is getting out of hand. It was nothing between me and Tamar… I don’t know, it was just like wicked stuff started happening.” Amid the fallout from the incident, another one of Braxton’s team members, LeTroy, came forward in Chanel’s defense. He insisted that Chrisean be held accountable for her actions, which he said resulted in backlash from the Baddies star’s fanbase. Allegedly, her supporters even started showing up at his house after he spoke out against her.

What do you think of James Wright Chanel formally pressing charges against Chrisean Rock for allegedly punching him in the face at Tamar Braxton’s concert? Are you surprised? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Quando Rondo Arrested On Federal Drug Charges: Report

December 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to WJCL, the FBI arrested Quando Rondo on federal drug charges on Friday (December 8). Moreover, an agency spokesperson told the outlet that police in Savannah, Georgia– his hometown– pulled over a vehicle at Burroughs Street and 37th Street around midnight. Reports indicate that they only arrested the rapper, who was the passenger, and that this occurred without incident. Rondo, real name Tyquian Bowman, just recently dodged a ban from his home of Chatham County, so this is just the latest in a troublesome and unfortunate series of legal issues for him. Not much else emerged about his current condition or response to this development at press time.

Furthermore, this arrest comes about six months after authorities indicted Quando Rondo and 18 other individuals on state drug and gang charges. Specifically, he faced accusations of violating the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act by allegedly managing the Rollin’ 60’s gang in the area. Not only that, but the Never Broke Again affiliate also received charges for supposedly using communication illegally, as he allegedly used a phone to organize the sale of marijuana. As such, while this case went quiet for a little bit following his release on bond, it seems like prosecutors still want to take it to court with more evidence.

Via an Instagram Story, Quando Rondo stood by his innocence and claimed that someone in his camp was disloyal to him. “I aint fw nobody right now !” he wrote on the social media platform. “I don’t want nobody with my number right now I got one of the [best] lawyers and private investigators on my team.

“They gone say who lul bruh talking bout im talking bout everybody im putting this out there so everybody can see this yall n***as hell im to solid to fold !” Rondo went on. “I dont want no beef with you.

Punchmade Dev Mugshot Revealed By Chicago PD

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Chicago Police Department just released Punchmade Dev’s mugshot following his arrest on weapons charges and an obstructed front windshield. It’s unclear what the particular heft behind each of these booking reasons is as of writing this article, but we can’t imagine he’s looking forward to finding out. For those unaware, the Chicago rapper previously faced a police investigation for a worrisome song and music video. His track “Wire Fraud Tutorial” is pretty self-explanatory, and YouTube ended up taking the visual down at the behest of law enforcement. The YouTube star tried to speak to the platform about getting his video restored, but it was to no avail.

Furthermore, it’s unclear whether or not this has anything to do with this recent arrest, as the charges seem unrelated at first glance. However, surely the coming weeks will provide at least some updates on whether police investigations actually resulted in something. Punchmade Dev allegedly claimed to have access to Adin Ross’ bank account, which can’t be good considering the streamer’s tighter pockets as of late. Maybe this booking will simply exacerbate the investigation into him rather than take priority over it.

Punchmade Dev’s Mugshot

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

Of course, it’s still too early in this case to call anything, especially since it’s not the most visible or viral case right now. We wouldn’t expect it to reach YSL RICO levels of visibility, but “Wire Fraud Tutorial” went pretty wild in social media circles and among underground rap fans. Regardless of all that, Punchmade Dev looks quite tranquil in his mugshot, so maybe he brushed off these charges and anticipates he will see a prompt release. Only time will tell, but the situation would be wildly different if he did time for wire fraud.

Meanwhile, this is unfortunately a page in the book of Chicago hip-hop’s run-ins with the law, many of which are due to systemic issues. We’re not equating this case to that, but it’s a sadly difficult legacy for the scene to reckon with. Hopefully in this situation, we can get some more clarity and get answers to the controversy that the “Wire Fraud Tutorial” inspired a couple of months ago. For more news and updates on Punchmade Dev, come back to HNHH.

50 Cent Won’t Face Charges For Mic-Throwing Incident During Concert: Report

November 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In case you already forgot about 50 Cent’s microphone-throwing incident during an August concert earlier this year, the court is here to remind you that you have plenty of time to reacquaint yourself before the case officially closes. However, they informed us of this by officially stating that they will not criminally charge him for this incident. Moreover, legal authorities will keep the filing open until August 30, 2024, exactly one year after the incident. This means that the New York rapper must behave during this time, as he could still be reevaluated for criminal charges if anything else occurs between him and the poor soul that he struck in the head by flinging his mic into the stands.

For those unaware, 50 Cent became frustrated with technical difficulties during a show in Los Angeles. When he lobbed it into the crowd with force, it hit Power 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain, leaving her with lacerations on her face and head that needed medical attention. She filed a police report shortly after, which went to L.A. County’s District Attorney as a felony, and then landed in the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office. This last entity is the one that let TMZ know that Fif is not getting criminal charges right now and will not receive them, as long as he stays out of trouble with Bryhana and in general for the next ten months or so.

“Let’s be very clear,” 50 Cent’s lawyer Scott Leemon expressed in a statement concerning this incident. “As I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone. Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.” This situation caused many to criticize the G-Unit MC for his actions despite his legal dismissal of any wrongdoing, including longtime rival The Game.

Meanwhile, others like DJ Envy actually came to his defense here, so in the public eye, it’s still pretty divisive. Still, at least in the legal sense, it looks like this is where the case will rest, and where it will hopefully stay for the next ten months. As such, it’ll be more of a debate and wild moment to look back on than another drama-fueled and contentious narrative. For more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent, log back into HNHH.

Kodak Black Files To Have Drug Possession Case Thrown Out

November 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black and his legal team want the rapper’s 2022 drug possession case thrown out, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. They argue that the pills Kodak possessed were completely legal and acquired over the counter as Tylenol, not oxycodone. Authorities had charged Kodak with one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of trafficking oxycodone in July of that year.

Additionally, Kodak’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, accuses the Broward Sheriff’s Office of a massive cover-up involving FBI Special Agent James Mitchell. He argues Mitchell is biased against his client. He writes in the motion that the pills were destroyed after test results found them to just be simple over-the-counter medication. Cohen describes it all as a “coordinated takedown” of Kodak.

It’s not the first time Cohen has accused authorities of having a vendetta against Kodak. After Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to felony gun charges, Cohen explained to Fox News that Kodak was treated much worse. “There’s no such thing as not getting jail time on a gun charge on any kind of gun charge,” Cohen explained, “I’ve never seen anyone where this offense was charged and they didn’t get some sort of prison sentence. And in fact, most of the time in federal court, you very rarely see people get anything but a prison sentence.” He added: “I think that this is like, you know, they figured the easiest way for them to save face [was] to charge him, not give him prison, and then hope that [Joe] Biden doesn’t give him a pardon until he’s on his way out two years.”

The latest motion arrives after Kodak sparked health concerns after appearing on Drink Champs, last month. Many fans found Kodak’s behavior confusing and much of what he said difficult to understand. He responded to the concern on Instagram Live afterward. “Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see too because looks could be deceiving,” Kodak said. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kodak Black on HotNewHipHop.
