Diddy’s Life Is In Serious Jeopardy, According To Former MDC Warden

September 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is currently in one of the most dangerous and “horrific” detention centers in the United States. After his first bail package was denied –it includes selling his and his mother’s Miami homes, as well as being under a watchful eye at all times– he was admitted into the MDC in Brooklyn. The Metropolitan Detention Center is constantly dealing with some sort of issues, with some being graver than others. According to Yahoo! News, they include “rampant violence, dreadful conditions, severe staffing shortages and the widespread smuggling of drugs and other contraband, some of it facilitated by employees”. At the same time, they say they’ve been subject to nearly perpetual lockdowns and have been barred from leaving their cells for visits, calls, showers or exercise.

Additionally, “perpetual lockdowns” are a commonality, as well as not being allowed to leave their cells for “visits, calls, showers or exercise”. However, easily the most harrowing is the number of suicides and general deaths at the MDC. Cameron Lindsay, a former warden from the detention center, tells TMZ that all of the former, especially the latter, are things Diddy should be extremely wary of. Lindsay says that other inmates see killing certain criminals as a “badge of honor”. The music mogul fits into that mold based on status alone, but also due to the scarring allegations.

Warden Details What Diddy Will Expect At The MDC In Brooklyn

Its why Diddy is currently being housed in the Special Housing Unit of the MDC. It’s a sector that keeps people like Diddy away from general prison mates. Lindsay also reveals that he won’t have a lot of access overall. That means one hour of rec time, three shows per week, three 1,800 calorie meals of varying freshness, and more. Furthermore, family and friends will have less time to see Diddy in comparison to his legal team. There’s also a commissary with available goods such as food, clothing, and some technology. Overall, the embattled star is going to have rough living conditions, to say the least.

What are your thoughts on this former warden detailing how much Diddy’s life is at risk at the MDC? Do you think he will avoid prison time with his latest bail package? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Diddy.

Lil Wayne Reveals What’s Preventing Hot Boys Reunion

February 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that B.G.’s been pushing for a Hot Boys reunion since he was released from prison late last year, and luckily, it looks like Lil Wayne is open to the idea. During a recent appearance on YG’s 4HUNNID podcast, he revealed what it would take to get a reunion tour underway. According to him, only a few logistical issues are holding them back.

“We’ve spoken about it a few times but, you know, they have situations. Like B.G. just coming home so he gotta figure out: can he tour? Can he travel? And things like that,” he explained. “Juvie ready and Turk ready, but really we gotta see if Geezy can move around.”

Lil Wayne On Hot Boys Reunion

While Lil Wayne says that the hold-up is due to B.G., he’s been the most vocal proponent of a reunion by far. Shortly after calling Weezy a “b*tch” on “Gangstafied” with Finesse2tymes, he took to Instagram Live to clear things up. “I tell a n***a I love him and call him a b***h all in the same sentence, man,” he described. “You know what I’m saying? You know? Man, look, this family business, man. You know what I’m saying? Shout out to my little brother Weezy too, man. I talked to my little brother last night, man, you know what I’m saying?”

He continued, “Say Juve, there’s people on my line, man, about this Hot Boys reunion… Weezy, stop playing, man. It’s a big bag involved, man. Ya heard me? I know you super rich. I know you like Taylor Swift outchea. Come on, man. Stop playing, man. Let’s get to this bag.” What do you think of Lil Wayne claiming that the only thing currently preventing a Hot Boys reunion tour is B.G.’s travel restrictions? Do you hope they reunite soon? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

G. Dep Murder Charges: Former Bad Boy Artist Eligible For Conditional Clemency In 2024

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug, Tory Lanez, and R. Kelly are among inmates spending yet another holiday season in the slammer. For at least a few of them, this certainly won’t be their last Christmas behind bars. We’re rooting for Thugger to come home once his YSL RICO trial starts again in the new year, and we’re happy to report that according to AllHipHop, another famous lyricist will be getting conditional clemency in the coming spring, making 2023 their last holiday season behind bars. Former Bad Boy artist G. Dep is the lucky recipient, after confessing to a murder that went unsolved through the 1990s in 2010.

At the time, the rapper (born Trevell Coleman) entered a New York City police station, where he spoke his truth to officers. During a 1993 robbery attempt, Dep shot and killed a man, resulting in a second-degree murder conviction. He was sentenced to 15 to life in court but still has no regrets about coming forward.

Now, Coleman will have the opportunity to stand before a parole board in the spring. Because he confessed to his crime, and expresses remorse for his action, it’s likely the former star will receive clemency. “I was at a point where I wasn’t doing anything that would’ve been fruitful in the long run because I wasn’t right,” he told AllHipHop of life before serving time. “Everything was kind of fruit of the poisonous tree. Everything that I was doing, it was alright on the surface, but it wasn’t really coming from a genuine place.”

As G. Dep prepares to readjust to a society that’s changed substantially since he entered the prison system, his former collaborator, Diddy, is facing harrowing allegations that some suspect could land him in legal trouble. After settling his lawsuit with Cassie last month, the New Yorker continues to be berated by 50 Cent and other online trolls, though Method Man is making it clear he wants no part in the Power producer’s commentary after a recent post. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

B.G.’s Prison Release Conditions: Drug/Alcohol Treatment, Community Service, GED, And More

September 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

43-year-old B.G. is likely pleased to have regained his freedom after spending the past 11 years behind bars. Still, that doesn’t mean his time is completely his own going forward. According to TMZ, there’s a lengthy list of requirements that the New Orleans native has to follow through with if he wants to remain out of prison going forward. He’ll be spending the next two years under supervised release. During that time, he’ll be expected to participate in a drug/alcohol treatment program.

In addition to this, B.G. – born Christopher Noel Dorsey – will be attending courses geared toward people hoping to “better orient [their] life skills.” It seems the embattled artist will be spending plenty of time in the classroom as well. He’s been ordered to “actively pursue a GED or vocational training equivalent in order to better set him up for future employment.” Of course, he confirmed after being released on Tuesday (September 5) that he’ll have new music on the way in the near future. As a result, it’s unlikely we’ll see B.G. transitioning into an office role anytime soon.

B.G. is Enjoying His Newfound Freedom

Another task on the “Bling Bling” hitmaker’s list is 400 hours of unpaid community service. We’re curious to see how he’ll choose to serve these. As expected, B.G. is also prohibited from possessing firearms and dangerous weapons. He’s expected to cooperate with his probation officer’s requests to collect any DNA as needed. Life certainly won’t be the same as before for the lyricist. Regardless, we’ve seen others work their way up in the industry after serving time in the past, so anything is possible for Dorsey.

Returning back to society after such a long time in prison is a daunting task. Thankfully for B.G., he has some of the biggest names in music standing behind him. Birdman, of course, has been a solid source of support, though we also heard Gucci Mane make a major financial promise to the Cash Money artist at the end of 2022. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Jim Jones Addresses Dipset Reunion Album & What It Would Take To Happen

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As one of the biggest and best crews to come out of New York in the 2000s, Dipset took the hip-hop game by storm. Recently, one of its members Jim Jones sat down with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN on Drink Champs and addressed whether the group would ever come back together for a reunion album. Moreover, their last official release as a group was the 2018 album Diplomatic Ties, which was their first in 14 years. When considering whether he, Cam’ron, and Juelz Santana would hop on wax together again for a full-length, Capo brought the financials into play. However, he made it clear that it wasn’t all about the money.

“I ain’t gonna lie, if it was a perfect world and I could have things my way…” Jim Jones remarked. “For me this is just how I see it. Partnering up with the right person, whether it be a label or person who has an invested interest to see us win. And once we have a sound blueprint of that, and not to say it’s about the money. But money makes this s**t move when it comes to doing music.

Jim Jones Theorizes Potential Dipset Reunion Album

“There’s a certain aesthetic that we wanna see and a type of sound the people wanna hear,” Jim Jones continued. “We ain’t trying to cheat the people with things like that. I think a lot of that has been going on in the past years of us doing this Diplomat installments because we’re so used to this whole independent layout. But I think that we put so much work in things like that that I think the people deserve a real Diplomat.”

Meanwhile, this would be a new chapter in a history that resulted in tensions between the Roc-A-Fella-signed group and the label. However, there’s also plenty to look back on and reevaluate when it comes to avoiding those past mistakes. Jones himself recently reflected on how the falling out between the Roc’s heads, Jay-Z and Dame Dash, could’ve been avoided. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jim Jones and Dipset.

NBA Youngboy’s House Arrest Conditions Modified To Allow Visitors: Report

March 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA Youngboy is at the height of his career, though his legal issues continue to hinder his full potential. YB emerged out of prison, landed on house arrest, and began unloading project after project in a historic run. However, he recorded everything from the comfort of his home, though not by choice. The rapper isolated himself in Utah where he locked in projects like The Last Slimeto and I Rest My Case.

YB made the most of his time but it appears that a judge decided to loosen up some conditions. Per All Hip Hop, Judge Shelly Dick removed two conditions from his restrictive release. One, in particular, allows YB to invite more than three guests into his home at a time. “No more than three persons may visit Gaulden at his home at any time. (19) No visitors are allowed at the Defendant’s home before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m. ‘Home’ is defined as the Defendant’s residence and all property and appurtenances of the residence. It is so ordered. Signed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this 15th day of March 2023,” the ruling reads.

NBA Youngboy’s remained on house arrest since late 2021. In October of that year, the rapper put up $1.5M bail. The judge ordered him to live on house arrest. The conditions didn’t allow more than three visitors at a time outside of his wife, business manager, and producer, who also resided in the same home. However, his latest attempt proved fruitful since he attempted to get off house arrest in July, though the judge denied the bid.

While YB could’ve lived anywhere, he opted for a quieter environment in Utah, which has been his creative haven. Though isolated, he honed into his craft, maintaining a sense of peace, despite the chaos that surrounds him in the music industry. It was during this time that he also secured a deal with Motown Records, ending his tenure with Atlantic, who he’s been signed to since late 2017. Hopefully, he’ll be a free man soon and we’ll get to see the rapper hit the road once his legal issues are resolved.
