6ix9ine Has No Choice But To Finally Get A Real Job

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For those unaware, 6ix9ine finds himself in yet another legal bind following his arrest just a few weeks ago for violating his probation conditions, which made him spend around 45 days behind bars. Authorities originally gave a two-year sentence in the RICO case involving the Nine Trey Bloods, whom he provided information on in order to avoid decades in prison. But this also came with a supervised release, during which the New York rapper engaged in various behaviors that violated its terms. These include failing drug tests, various physical altercations, unauthorized travel from Florida to Las Vegas, and not reporting to his probation officer.

Furthermore, Judge Paul Engelmayer extended 6ix9ine’s probation by one year after this 45-day stint, complete with electronic monitoring and a year of home confinement. According to court documents reportedly obtained by AllHipHop, the judge added more conditions to the probation on Thursday (November 14). These include a full-time and lawful job unless excused by his probation officer and prompt updates to this official about any employment changes. The P.O. must also approve the provocateur’s living location and receive updates on any changes to his address or arrangements with a ten-day notice.

In addition, these new probation conditions bar 6ix9ine from contact with criminally involved individuals or people with a history of felony conviction, unless his probation officer approves it. He cannot own guns, ammunition, or other dangerous weapons, and must notify his P.O. of any arrests or interactions with law enforcement within 72 hours. Not only that, but the court ordered the 28-year-old to participate in an outpatient program for mental health, continue taking prescribed medication unless otherwise determined by a healthcare provider, and give his probation officer access to any financial information upon request.

As far as other details, 6ix9ine must also fulfill 300 hours of community service at least 30 days before his supervised release term finalizes. After an initial 90-day period, he must let his probation officer know of any out-of-district travel for his authorization, surrender his passport within three days of returning to said district, and relinquish the right to apply for new travel documents or travel internationally during this probation period. Tekashi received orders to continue drug testing and undergo an outpatient alcohol and drug treatment program under his P.O.’s direction.

Martin Shkreli Ordered To Hand Over All His Copies Of Wu-Tang Clan’s Rare Album

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wu-Tang Clan’s one-of-one album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin went through some big changes this year. It was formerly in the hands of sole owner Martin Shkreli, but now belongs to the digital art company PleasrDAO. It will technically be released as partial NFT buys. Now, according to Billboard, the court has sided with Pleasr and ordered Shkreli to hand over any existing copies he has of the project. In 2021, authorities seized the LP to account for the former pharmacy executive’s $7.4 million judgement in a securities fraud case. But he kept livestreaming it and boasting about the extra copies that he made.

This move from the court is to preserve the rare Wu-Tang Clan album’s one-of-one status and to punish Martin Shkreli for violating the original purchase terms and forfeiture order. Authorities barred him from “possessing, using, disseminating, or selling any interest in the album.” Per court documents, this is the same for “its data and files or the contents of the Album, or in any way causing further damage to Plaintiff respecting the album.” Shkreli must “sequester and turn over all of his copies, in any form” by August 30. He has until September 30 to file an affidavit detailing the “information regarding alleged copies of ‘Once Upon a Time In Shaolin,’ people he might’ve given them to, and any money he might’ve made from distributing or playing the album.”

In other Wu-Tang Clan news, here’s what Method Man had to say about OUATIS. “I thought it was some circus spectacle,” he told Vanity Fair. “I never really spoke to RZA about it. It’s an uncomfortable subject to most of the guys, so we don’t really discuss it too much. The process of the thing being made was never told to us. We were never told what it was. We were recording and being paid to do a certain amount of records.”

“[Cilvaringz] put them altogether into a compilation of Wu-Tang songs and marketed it as a Wu-Tang album,” Method Man continued. “A single copy of a Wu-Tang album. We all had a problem with it because that’s not how it was described to us.”

The Game Will Reportedly Attend Court To Try To Prevent Potential Home Seizure

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Game just got a huge update in his sexual assault case, which his accuser Priscilla Rainey has been trying to collect her $7 million judgement that the court awarded her in this lawsuit for a few years now. According to court documents exclusively obtained by AllHipHop, he will show up in court on October 7 in Los Angeles and will have a chance to explain why the court shouldn’t seize and sell his mansion in Calabasas in order to fulfill his debt. U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi signed this order on Wednesday (August 7) after Rainey served the rapper and his manager Wack 100 this summer in order to gain control over the Calabasas home.

Furthermore, a process server issued a notice of levy, writ of execution, and more to the duo, and Rainey accused The Game of putting his mansion’s deed in Wack 100’s name to block the seizure. In addition, she also reportedly subpoenaed Jayceon Taylor’s children’s school district for attendance records and proof of residence after seizing his publishing and label royalties. Priscilla Rainey was a contestant on his VH1 reality show She’s Got Game and sued him in 2015 for sexual battery, and the seven-figure judgement came from the court the next year.

“Don’t be fooled by these accusations or the dollar amount in the headlines. Cause I put that on my favorite aunties poodle this broad ain’t gettin s**t!” The Game claimed on Instagram back in 2016. “Every girl on that show will tell u I never touched this chick or ever desired to be anywhere near her. [They] kicked [her] off the show. As a result she filed this lame lawsuit which was probably her intentions before the show ever even started. She was begging for my attention the entire time we shot the show. [She] was given the ultimate Major League Baseball CURVE ball. So that upset her & made her lil wee wee hard so she did what all chicks like her do when life gives them no other options…. They sue you!”

In other news, The Game recently announced that The Documentary III is on the way. He teased a fall release date, so we’ll see if that ends up manifesting. Still, it seems like this years-long legal battle might come to a head very soon. Maybe this will impact these plans in a greater fashion than what fans anticipated, but it seems like we’ll have to wait until October 7 to know for sure.

Cesar Pina & His Wife Wanted By Authorities For Ignoring Court Order

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cesar Pina is now facing a whole lot more legal trouble thanks to his alleged failure to comply in a bankruptcy case. Moreover, for those unaware, he filed for bankruptcy following a long series of Ponzi scheme allegations against him accusing him of fraud. In fact, Pina’s former business partner DJ Envy also experienced some blowback as a result, although he’s since exited the case as a perpetrator. As for this current development, New Jersey Judge Rosemary Gambardella ordered U.S. Marshals to arrest Cesar and his wife Jennifer Iturralde Pina on Tuesday (February 20), according to court documents reportedly obtained by AllHipHop.

Specifically, the judge brought up the couple’s contempt over a December 2023 court order as the reasoning behind this arrest. Apparently, Cesar Pina and his wife ignored orders to provide documentation for their bankruptcy case despite “good and sufficient notice.” DJ Envy seemingly complied with his subpoena around the same time as this ignored court order. Nevertheless, according to Judge Gambardella’s orders, U.S. Marshals will arrest the two on or after Friday (February 23). Not only that, but the judge also called for officials to “use reasonable force to execute this order” to bring them to Newark, and to “arrest any person who impedes its execution.”

Furthermore, last year, Cesar Pina received charges of one count of wire fraud in connection to an alleged multi-million fraud scheme. “Pina exploited celebrity status and social media to develop a devoted following of potential victims,” Philip R. Sellinger, U.S. Attorney, stated. “[He promised] returns that were too good to be true, [and] Pina allegedly defrauded dozens of people of millions of dollars.” While DJ Envy avoided criminal charges despite some lawsuits, it seems like consequences will be much harder to avoid for the supposed main string-puller.

Meanwhile, The Breakfast Club‘s host is still listed as a codefendant in this case. As such, it’s unclear exactly how the rest of this court proceeding will play out in terms of who should really be held accountable. But it’s been a long case so far, so we aren’t anticipating any easy fixes. For more news and the latest updates on the Cesar Pina situation, log back into HNHH.

Cam’ron Must Pay $50K In Copyright Case Over Using Picture Of Himself On Merch

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron will have to cough up some cash in order to cover his loss in a lawsuit against him from a photographer. Moreover, this is because he used the iconic picture of him in his pink fur fit for his Dipset merch, which he did not obtain the proper licensing for from the photo’s copyright holder, photographer Djamilla Cochran. Federal judge William Martini reportedly ruled on Thursday (February 15) that this use constituted copyright infringement, and that Killa Cam must pay Cochran $51,000. About $40,000 of this covers “statutory damages,” whereas the remaining $10,000 or so makes up for the photographer’s legal fees.

“The court finds that a statutory damages award of seven times the licensing fee is sufficient to compensate the plaintiff for the infringement of her copyright and to deter future infringements by punishing the defendants,” Judge Martini reportedly expressed. This lawsuit surfaced back in April of 2023, when Cam’ron and Dipset Couture received notice of legal action from Djamilla Cochran. However, this is not that surprising of an outcome when you look at how he had responded to the whole ordeal. The New York rapper never came through with defenses or explanations for his actions and did not legally or formally respond to this lawsuit, resulting in a default judgement.

Furthermore, there are still a lot of Dipset fans out there who would love to rock some pieces like this. As such, there’s still plenty of incentive for these parties to come to another form of agreement when it comes to the proper use of this photograph. But sometimes, big Dipset fans get clowned online, especially if they’re an even bigger MC right now. Cam’ron recently defended Drake’s fandom of the group during a recent GQ interview, remarking how it’s no different than any other artists showing each other love.

“It’s no different from anybody else just trying to show love,” he shared. “A rapper that’s younger than me who grew up watching what we did. I f***ing grew up wanting to get a chain because EPMD had the gold link going on, or Big Daddy Kane‘s rope chain. When it’s somebody of Drake’s magnitude, you ought to show love. A lot of people want to criticize and say he’s [too] commercial. He’s the modern day Michael Jackson that can also rap. You got to realize the type of run he’s on.” For more news and the latest updates on Cam’ron, come back to HNHH.

Darius Jackson Surrenders Firearms To Police Amid Keke Palmer Drama

January 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Darius Jackson, the ex-boyfriend of Keke Palmer, has complied with a court order to surrender any owned firearms to the police. The stipulation was part of a restraining order that Palmer successfully filed against Jackson. According to records acquired by Us Weekly, Jackson surrendered a Glock 34, two magazines, a speed loader, and a cleaning rod.

Palmer’s protection order runs through July 16, though the former couple is engaged in mediation. Jackson has denied Palmer’s accusations, including allegations of being physically rough with their son Leodis. Furthermore, Jackson went as far as to claim that Palmer was the “primary aggressor” and that she had engaged in “abusive conduct” for the full duration of their relationship. Furthermore, Jackson’s brother corroborated the allegations. “The most disgusting, vile, abusive, manipulative person I have EVER encountered in my entire life … Abuses almost everyone. Y’all will see,” Sarunas Jackson wrote in a now-deleted social media post.

Antonio Brown’s Keke Palmer Name Drop Was Just Lyrical Brainstorming, Ex-NFLer Claims

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

Meanwhile, Antonio Brown has asked people not to “spin his words” after namedropping Keke Palmer in a series of raunchy tweets. “These all are rap lyrics. Please do not spin my words. Spin your money . Ima Rappa,” Brown wrote a few hours after a collection of tweets went viral. The posts in question referred to running a woman “like the Olympics”, referring to the colloquial group sex term of “running a train”. The one that got people in arms concerning Palmer read “I don’t drink Arnold PALMERS I sip Keke Palmer Ya dig”.

However, the former wide receiver did double down on his lust for Palmer. “I love @KekePalmer. This is me creatively thinking of rap bars by the way is she Keke Single$.” Brown has been very active of late, seemingly trying to bait his former QB, Tom Brady. “I just f-ck Tom bihhhhh,” Antonio Brown wrote the day after Thanksgiving. It was part of a bizarre string of tweets in which Brown quoted Kanye and also claimed to have Alzheimer’s. Brady was reportedly instrumental in bringing Brown to the Buccaneers in 2020. However, Brown’s tenure only lasted a season and a half before his explosive exit from the team.

Roddy Ricch Ordered To Pay $24K In Child Support Amid Drug Abuse Claims

May 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, some damning reports came out claiming that Roddy Ricch engaged in substance abuse that led to concerns from his baby mama. Moreover, Alexandra Kiser filed for custody of their three-year-old son Kadence and claimed he’s addicted to lean and gang-affiliated. In addition, she sought to make the rapper pay child support and accused him of being an absentee father. Now, court documents obtained by Radar Online indicate that the court ordered Roddy pay her a lump sum payment of $24,000 in child support as a temporary settlement to their legal battle.

“Rodrick Moore is gang-affiliated,” Kiser filed in court, referring to Roddy Ricch by his government name. “He has been arrested on a gun charge, domestic violence and regularly indulges in promethazine use. All of which are concerns for myself and our son. (He) is a very successful and highly paid entertainer who goes by the name of Roddy Ricch. He has a net worth of approximately $25,000,000 [and] commands fees of $500,000 for appearances. Since his birth, I alone, spend 98% of the time with him while Rodrick lives his life without any regard to his parental obligation or responsibility to spend time with Kadence. Recently, he moved into the gated compound where he has leased the house where our son and I currently live and has only spent three full days with Kadence thus far and that has been since January/early February.

Roddy Ricch To Begin Settling Custody Case With $24K Child Support Payment

“He now asks if I could move out by this May or if he’ll give me a six-month extension to move after I expressed to him that I felt uncomfortable about the way he moved into our gated community, just mere houses from us, and then tried to keep it a secret,” she continued. Furthermore, she continued to blast Roddy Ricch on social media. “Imma clear this up real quick cause some of these facts ain’t right,” she posted on Instagram. “I don’t live in this man house. 2, y’all try taking care of an autistic child yourself and lmk how much therapy & everything costs. Meanwhile your bd doing everything else & don’t even know what kind of therapist his son even sees. He spends $20k in the club on a light night. Please.”

If the “Twin” MC reaches an agreement with Kiser before their court date of mid-August, the court may cancel it altogether. Not only that, but the $24K could also count as credit towards potentially owed previous child support payments. Also, that money covers the $8K a month child support payments in April, May, and June of 2023. The former couple agreed to attend a “voluntary settlement conference” with their attorney to forego court and put a compromise in writing.
