Diddy Receives Court Hearing Date For His Latest Bail Package

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over this past weekend, Diddy and his representation filed a new motion for yet another bail package. So far, every time they have attempted to free the music mogul has failed miserably. He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) and faces a grave life behind bars if found guilty. Still, his legal team remains optimistic, especially as it pertains to this latest and greatest bail offer. It’s similar to past ones with it containing a $50 million bond and constant surveillance to avoid any sort of issues or violations.

However, where this one differs is that Diddy’s defense pointed to some older cases of similar severity. One was a sex trafficking case involving a CEO and who had someone intimidating witnesses with the alleged victims being younger men. In addition, a bail package was sent forward and that included a $10 million bond for the CEO and $500K for his alleged accomplice. Obviously, the sum of money is much lower in that example, but Diddy’s team is arguing the gist of it is close enough.

Meghann Cuniff Has The Details For Diddy’s Court Date

Just in: The next bailing hearing for Sean “Diddy” Combs will be Friday, November 22 at 2 p.m. in Manhattan.

With that background information in mind, we now have an important update. According to Meghann Cuniff, she has discovered that a hearing for the bailing is scheduled and coming soon. To be exact, it will be on Friday, November 22 at 2 p.m in Manhattan. With that said, prosecutors have until this Friday, November 15 to send in their documents that argue against it.

Overall, it’s another important moment for Diddy and one that could swing this case in decent fashion. Obviously, the odds are stacked against him. Previously, the court felt he was too much of a flight risk essentially to just be let go on bond. There’s a great chance those words are said again, but only time will tell.

Lil Durk’s Father Attends His Court Hearing After Arrest For Allegedly Orchestrating An Attempted Murder

October 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk’s father walked out of the courtroom with his son’s attorney, Alex Ubieta, in Miami on Friday after authorities arrested the rapper for allegedly orchestrating an attempted murder of rival Quando Rondo in 2022. In a clip of the moment caught by CBS News, the man and Ubieta decline to comment on the situation.

Federal prosecutors unveiled the complaint against Durk, last week. “Banks [Lil Durk] put a monetary bounty out for an individual with whom Banks was feuding named T.B.,” it reads, as caught by Billboard. “Banks ordered T.B.’s murder and that the hitmen used Banks and OTF-related finances to carry out the murder.” The document also alleges that the move was in retaliation for the 2020 killing of King Von.

In addition to Durk, the complaint also brings up allegations against his imprint, Only The Family. Authorities describe it as a “hybrid organization” that also functions as a criminal gang in addition to a music collective. They also allege Durk was attempting to flee the country at the time of his arrest. Authorities apprehended him as he approached an airport where he had allegedly booked commercial flights to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Switzerland. He also allegedly had a private jet to Italy lined up.

Travis Scott’s Disorderly Intoxication Charge Gets Dropped After Miami Arrest

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In June of this year, Travis Scott’s trip to Miami took an unexpected turn. He was arrested for alleged disorderly intoxication and trespassing. The arrest stemmed from a minor disagreement on a yacht, and he was released within hours. Reportedly, officers had asked him to leave the scene but took him into custody when he returned to gather some forgotten belongings.

Scott had a hearing this morning, which he did not attend, where his team received both good and bad news. The state of Florida has decided to move forward with a misdemeanor trespassing charge against the performer. He’s scheduled to go to trial on September 10.

Travis Scott Gets Good And Bad News

On the bright side, prosecutors dropped the disorderly intoxication charge. While he’s not completely off the hook in this case, Scott is one step closer to getting it resolved for good. This is surely a relief for the hitmaker, who’s already had a pretty busy month. Aside from collaborating with Afrobeats singer Asake, seemingly getting dissed by Killer Mike, and more, Scott also teased something exciting with Playboi Carti yesterday.

The two of them are scheduled to perform together at ComplexCon in November. Billed OOCactus, the duo also unveiled a snippet of a brand new track they have on the way, which does not yet have a release date. Regardless, fans can’t wait to hear what’s to come or to see them grace the stage together later this year. What do you think of Travis Scott’s disorderly conduct charge getting dropped today after his June arrest? What about the state of Florida moving forward with a misdemeanor trespassing charge against him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Blueface Awaits Sentencing Behind Bars After Court Hearing Gets Delayed

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Blueface was scheduled to appear in court to learn his fate. Unfortunately, however, it looks like the “Thotiana” rapper has to wait a bit longer. According to The Shade Room, his court appearance was delayed, and will now take place on August 6. While this isn’t too far away, the news is certainly disappointing for both him and his fans, as he’s been behind bars for several months. Reportedly, he’ll remain at a California jail for the time being.

Blueface first turned himself in back in January for an alleged probation violation and was later hit with a warrant in Vegas. Earlier this month, he was handed a sentence in that case, which saw him accused of another probation violation. He was sentenced to probation for up to three years, with a suspended prison sentence of two to five years. It was previously reported that the presiding judge is recovering from surgery, which is why his latest hearing got pushed back.

Blueface’s Court Hearing Pushed Back To August 6

Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold has been hopeful about her son’s return, even telling TMZ recently that she was already planning a welcome home party. The delay might have thrown a wrench in the Aunt-Tea Podcast host’s plans, though she’ll likely be able to celebrate sooner rather than later.

Amid all of this, the mother of Blueface’s youngest child Chrisean Rock is also incarcerated. At the time of writing, it remains unclear when exactly she’ll be released. She was sentenced to 30 days in jail last month and awaited extradition to Oklahoma, where she has a warrant. What do you think of Blueface’s court hearing getting delayed this week? Are you looking forward to the rapper’s possible release? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Karlissa Saffold Puts Chrisean Rock’s Mother On Blast Before Blueface’s Court Hearing

July 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Blueface and Chrisean Rock are both currently behind bars, but luckily for the “Thotiana” rapper, he may be getting out sooner rather than later. He has a court hearing scheduled for tomorrow (July 29), and fans are hopeful that he’ll be released. While this is not guaranteed, his mother Karlissa Saffold is in the process of preparing for his arrival home. Recently, she took to Instagram Live, revealing that there will be a camera crew in the courtroom and asking fans for their prayers.

While it’s possible that Blueface will get good news at his hearing, the same can’t be said for Chrisean. It was previously reported that she would be extradited to Oklahoma after a 30-day jail stay in California. The Baddies star was arrested back in June while supporting Blueface in court. It was later revealed that she had a warrant for alleged assault with a deadly weapon without a firearm, and is facing marijuana possession charges in Oklahoma.

According to Saffold, however, Chrisean may not be getting the support she needs. During another live chat with fans, the Aunt-Tea Podcast host called out Chrisean’s mother Charla Malone, claiming that she’s been planting seeds of doubt in her daughter’s mind and accusing people of snitching. “Don’t send y’all kids out on a wild goose chase looking for people,” she said. “Making them feel like people turned them in or told on them.”

“If you want to use her for clout, she’s your child, do what the f*ck you do,” Saffold continued. “But don’t put your child in a position in their heart and in their mind where they can’t trust people that they might need.” What do you think of Karlissa Saffold criticizing Chrisean Rock’s mother? What about Blueface’s upcoming court hearing? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Wack 100 Weighs In On Chrisean Rock’s Bizarre Arrest At Blueface Hearing

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Chrisean Rock, the ex-girlfriend/baby mama of rapper Blueface, was arrested for appearing at his court hearing. The controversial multi-media figure is still trying to be there for him regardless of their troubled past. However, all that seems to be doing is getting her in more trouble than she already is, especially legally speaking. It’s why Rock showing up at the June hearing knowing she had active warrants was so puzzling. The key one is the 2022 Oklahoma ordeal. She was charged with “possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance”.

Wack 100, the manager for Blueface, has been an active voice during all of these legal issues. So, it was no surprise that he recently sat down with Vlad TV to discuss this wild arrest of Chrisean. In his chat with Vlad, Wack 100 gave extra insight for why she showed up knowing her situation. Essentially, with Jaidyn Alexis being there, she felt the need to show up. Wack claims he preached to Chrisean that it was far too risky, especially with her going on IG Live in the court room. Also making things worse is the fact that Blueface’s parents did not want to take Rock’s child.

Wack 100 Speaks On Chrisean & Blueface’s Future

However, Wack does point out that Karlissa Saffold, Blueface’s mom, is supposedly not allowed to be around the child. As for the father, Wack says that he will only take care of the kid if he is getting clout from it online, sadly. Apparently, Rock put the care of kid in the hands of a close friend for now. In regard to Blueface’s situation, Wack revealed to Vlad that he expects the rapper to be free soon. He predicts it will happen either on July 26, or at the latest, the end of this month.

What are your thoughts on Chrisean Rock being arrested during Blueface’s court hearing? Why do you think she felt the need to be out in public while having outstanding warrants? What is your reaction to Rock and Blueface’s being taken care of by her friend and not the rapper’s parents? Do you see these two ever figuring things out? 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 Blueface, Wack 100, and Chrisean Rock.

NBA YoungBoy Fans Tell Judge To “Shut Up” While Interrupting Court To Shout “Free YB”

July 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy fans caused a scene during the rapper’s latest hearing by interrupting the courtroom to shout “Free YB.” They also told Judge Spencer Walsh to “shut your b*tch a*s up,” when he instructed everyone to mute their microphones. DJ Akademiks shared a clip of the incident on Instagram, on Monday, which has since been going viral. In response, one user in the comments joked: “They boutta give bro a mandatory 10 years off this.” Another wrote: “Gonna get contempt for no reason bro.”

YoungBoy appeared in the courtroom in regard to his ongoing prescription drug fraud case. The court ended up pushing his trial date back indefinitely after police arrested him back in April. He faces several charges including including identity theft, forgery, procuring or attempting to procure drug prescription, possession of other controlled substances, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, and pattern of unlawful activity.

During the court appearance, the judge pushed the hearing back to August 19 as YoungBoy’s lawyer was late to the Zoom call. When he finally got on the call, he apologized and claimed he was held up at a doctor’s appointment. Check out a clip from the hearing below.

Chrisean Rock Arrested While Attending Blueface Court Hearing

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock and Blueface have had a tumultuous relationship over the years. They dated from 2020 to 2023, and welcomed a child after their split. Despite their separation, Chrisean Rock has made a point of supporting Blueface throughout his various legal battles. The “rapper “Thotiana” rapper was arrested for violating his probation back in January, and the subsequent court hearing was held June 10 in a San Fernando Valley courthouse. Things took an unexpected turn, however, when Rock showed up and was promptly arrested.

TMZ reported that Chrisean Rock attended the hearing with her daughter. As soon as she entered the courtroom, however, she was handcuffed by officers and hauled off. The outlet was informed that San Fernando Valley police were waiting for Rock to show up. Officers reportedly escorted Rock’s child away while patting the rapper down to ensure she didn’t have weapons on her person. It was unclear as to why Rock was being arrested, initially. It was later revealed to be tied to a felony fugitive warrant that dates back to 2022.

Chrisean Rock Was Arrested Over 2022 Charges

Chrisean Rock is being held without bail. She’s also being charged with assault with a deadly weapon, which stems from the aforementioned 2022 warrant that was sworn out in Oklahoma. The rapper was fully aware that she was being sought out for these charges. Yet, she told IG Live viewers that she had better things to do than turn herself in during a March stream. “I been paying off fees and getting rid of s**t, talking to certain people,” Rock noted. “I have my son. The old me would have just turned myself in and dealt with it. The inside through the outside of the jail. Whatever… Right now, I gotta play it cautious ’cause I don’t plan on being in jail while my son is growing.”

Chrisean Rock is no stranger to legal setbacks. The rapper has been arrested multiple times since 2020. She was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia in May of that year. She was also charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing during a 2022 stop in Arizona.

ASAP Rocky Skips Status Hearing In His Assault Case With No Trial In Sight

March 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky chose to skip out on his status hearing on Wednesday (March 6), for whatever reason, and there is still no trial on the horizon for this assault case. Moreover, for those unaware, group colleague ASAP Relli accused him of shooting at him multiple times, and hitting him once, during a November 2021 confrontation in Hollywood. Now, though, it seems like this case is very much in limbo, and according to reporter Meghann Cuniff, no trial date was set during this hearing. However, the court did schedule a pre-trial hearing for May 26, so we’ll have to wait and see if someone budges before trial.

Furthermore, the last update we got on this case was ASAP Rocky’s not guilty plea and his lawyer Joe Tacopina’s assurance that they will prove his innocence. “We’re going to try the case in the courtroom,” he told reporters back in January of this year. “And when we do, facts will come out that show that he’s truly innocent. And that he’s a victim in this case.” L.A. County attorneys on the prosecution’s side had expressed to Judge Karla Kerlin that they weren’t anticipating a plea deal to sidestep a full trial.

In addition, ASAP Rocky also has a highly anticipated album to make, but his family and this legal case have definitely become a lot to handle. Authorities arrested him over this incident in 2022 with two assault charges with a semi-automatic firearm. “Discharging a gun in a public place is a serious offense that could have ended with tragic consequences not only for the person targeted but also for innocent bystanders visiting Hollywood,” L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón remarked around this time. “My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case. We determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.”

Meanwhile, after a $550,000 bond, the “Gangsta” rapper and his team hope that September will be the start of the end. “We hope to be on trial by September in this case,” his lawyer shared. “I want to get this done and over with so he can start enjoying his family and move on.” If convicted, Rakim Mayers could face up to nine years behind bars. For more news and the latest updates on A$AP Rocky and this A$AP Relli case, come back to HNHH.

Boosie Badazz Pleads Not Guilty To Gun Charge

May 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lousiana rapper Boosie Badazz appeared in court yesterday, where he pleaded not guilty to a gun-related charge. The court hearing took place in San Diego, where the rapper caught the charge when filming a music video with Bully Three earlier this month. According to reports, he was taken to a San Diego County jail and hit with a total of four charges on May 6, 2023.

The charges include felony in possession of a firearm and concealed carry weapon in a vehicle. He was also charged for possession of ammunition by a prohibited person and unlisted owner of a registered firearm. Another person who was arrested alongside the rapper wasn’t charged in relation to the incident. While playing a show in San Diego before appearing in court, Boosie sent a message to police, telling them, “Suck my dick.” He also encouraged his audience to chant “f*ck San Diego police.”

Last month, N.O.R.E. gave props to Boosie along with T.I. for reconciling. He shared in a podcast, “I know that you could have went to war.” Adding, “Y’all could have just done a whole bunch of tremendous crazy shit.” He went on to commend the two artists for “[showing] that two Black men can get together and talk it out.” Adding, “A disagreement doesn’t always lead to y’all fighting and shooting,” and, “I’m so tired of violence.”

The two rappers’ beef started in 2020, when Dwayne Wade shared his support for his transgender daughter, and Boosie shared that he didn’t agree with it on social media. He was quickly met with responses calling him transphobic. T.I. chimed in, and also called the rapper out. It’s continued over the years with various social media back-and-forths and diss tracks. The most recent beef between the rappers began in February when Boosie called T.I. a “rat.” In August of 2022, Boosie was pulled over by police when he began to film the incident. He said, “They got me pulled over again, so I’m finna perform a concert in front the police.” After finding a small bag of weed in his vehicle the police let him go. He later apologized on social media, saying “I lost my cool this morning.”
