6ix9ine Ordered To Pay A Woman Nearly $10 Million For Assault After Failing To Appear In Court

November 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

6ix9ine’s seemingly endless legal troubles have dealt him yet another blow. The rapper now could end up having to pay a verdict of nearly $10 million to a Florida woman. According to AllHipHip, a jury in Florida awarded Alexis Salaberrios a verdict of $9.8 million after the rapper failed to appear at a civil trial earlier this year. The civil case spawned from the rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, hitting Salaberrios in the head with a bottle of champagne.

In the time since the verdict, Slaaberrios claims that 6ix9ine has made it difficult for her to collect her money on purpose. She claims that he’s deliberately hiding his assets. His aim being to avoid giving her the opportunity to collect what she’s owed. As a result, she moved for the court to allow her to seize his income in order to make up the amount in the suit. Revisit the lawsuit from when it happened back in 2021 below.

One thing 6ix9ine and his fans probably weren’t expecting recently was for Drake to take shots at him. But that’s exactly what happened on his new Scary Hours 3 EP. Across the new songs, Drizzy took shots at many people. Most notably, Joe Budden, Kanye West, and rival Pusha T. But on the song “Stories About My Brother” he delivers one particularly notable line. “Y’all the type to catch a charge, head to the deposition/ And act like the rapper named after the sex position” Drake says in reference to Hernandez.

Earlier this year, the rapper and some accomplices reportedly attacked producers in the Dominican Republic. The high-profile arrest that followed saw crowds of fans following him around everywhere he went. Shortly afterward, he announced on Instagram that he was forced to stay in the Dominican Republic for the next six months. What do you think of 6ix9ine being forced to pay a woman almost $10 million after failing to appear in court? Let us know in the comment section below.

Soulja Boy Lucks Out In Civil Case With Ex-Girlfriend Over Awarded Damages

July 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back in April, a judge awarded Soulja Boy’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Myers $235,900 in punitive damages in their civil case. For those unaware, Myers sued the rapper for alleged assault and kidnapping at a 2019 party at his home in Malibu, and emerged victorious when the case went to jury. Moreover, Soulja’s team sought a new trial after this development, pointing to jury misconduct as a crucial reason to reevaluate the trial. Apparently, these wishes might see some fulfillment according to a recent report from MyNewsLA on the legal matter. Furthermore, Judge Mark Epstein of California expressed concern on Thursday (June 29) that jurors lacked important evidence and information in the case.

In particular, this evidence and information refers to Soulja Boy’s financial affairs, such as income, saving, expenses, and debt. In fact, Epstein stated that Myers did not present any evidence of these factors in her initial suit, and that the lack such information should’ve halted the case from proceeding. “The court is concerned that, absent at least some evidence on this point, the issue should never have gone to the jury,” a judicial clerk wrote according to the outlet’s report. The court scheduled a hearing for July 21 to discuss the issue.

Nevertheless, until that hearing comes to a conclusion, Myers still won her lawsuit and can stand by that verdict. The jury in this case granted punitive damages for “physical and mental pain and suffering,” with additional funds for healthcare expenses. “We’re pleased with the jury’s verdict,” prosecutor Max Engelhardt remarked at the time. “[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.”

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old is still up to his usual antics online, even amid these pressing legal matters. For example, he recently participated in a hilarious livestream with TikTok star Terri Joe where she made some bold claims about their… interactions. We have to wait a few weeks to see where this case lands, but we’re sure that he will keep being himself in the meantime. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Soulja Boy.

Judge Orders Jury Deliberations to Start Over in Civil Case for Bill Cosby

June 21, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Bill Cosby is Eligible for Special Treatment in Prison

More snags arise in the Bill Cosby civil case playing out in California. There is still no verdict from jury deliberations that wrapped up Monday.

The jurors were forced to start over from scratch after nearly reaching a verdict on Friday. An alternate juror is now considering the case in Los Angeles County after a main juror had to leave for a prior commitment.

Cosby faces claims from a woman who says the comedian molested her at the Playboy Mansion in the 1970s when she was a teenager. Judy Huth previously said the alleged incident happened in 1974, and Cosby’s team tried but failed to get the suit dismissed after she changed the timeline of her story. He denies all allegations.

Prosecutors say there won’t be criminal charges because the case is past the statute of limitations.
